if it goes on long enough, a few people will lose less hearing and have less
ringing in their ears.

accuity in crowded situations.  It really sucks.  I got musician's earplugs
earlier this year, and I want to advocate their use.

tone from an amplifier.  It is therefore even more critical that you (one)
practice(s) even more and can trust in your tone.  Little elements of nuance
are difficult to hear, but still important.  I think practicing acoustically
while holding a mic is one key.  Another, is recording yourself.

to you.  Those nights in bed listening to the "weeeeeeeeee" that should be
silence, can be avoided.
