Hearing protection in strip clubs

I've had a few recent experiences where these DJ's are just outta control and the noise is intolerable. I mean with me I can always leave immediately but these dancers and waitresses or work in these places all night, I mean damn that is an OSHA complaint. I look at a phone decibal monitor I have and I know those aren't entirely accurate but I get readings of 115-120 which is crazy.
Do you guys bring hearing protection into these clubs? I'm gonna start. Even just always bring those foam ones you can find in the drug store. I do have shooters ear pro and I also have a big set of Peltors (which might look a little ridiculous but it would be nice passive aggressive fuck you to the DJ which I kinda like the thought of) but the point some of these clubs where you literally have to shout your conversation to the person next to you, it's just downright not healthy.

It would be pretty funny to have big Peltors on your head and give a nod to the DJ in a passive-aggressive way. Wearing big over-the-ear protection might make you look a bit like you are on the spectrum and sensitive to sounds (though everyone should be sensitive to 115+ db).
platinum plus in memphis was notorious for this type of shit on saturday nights. i had to be resourceful and plug my ears with napkins and toilet paper.
I'd consider earplugs, but it just seems a bit too silly and I'd rather just leave. If it really is as unpopular as I'd hope, the clubs will figure it out. If the rest of the customer base likes it, they'll succeed and I'll just find a place that caters more to my preferences.
Me: Gee, it’s awfully loud in here.
Dancer: Come with me.
[We went to a remote and dark corner]
Me: Thanks, that’s much better!
Dancer: I do head for 200 and sex for 400.
Me: Excuse me!?!?!?
Agreed and it sucked. The only way to talk to a girl was to yell into her ear. It was unbearable.
The only club I ever experienced which was even worse was the Clubhouse in Dallas, which has since closed. It was brutal. The owner was an old rocker who believed in keeping the volume at concert level. I stopped in multiple, but each visit was short because I just couldn't stand it for long, which is a shame because Texas nude BYOB clubs are definitely my jam.
