How many of you use hearing protection during live gigs?

How many of you use hearing protection when you have to do a gig? I am thinking about getting those Sennheiser Soundprotex plus for this and for use in my helmet (but thats a different subject ofcourse) and am wondering if its weird that as soon as the show starts (so eq'ing and everything is done) i want to wear earplugs as 105db+ gigs surely can't be good for my hearing on a regular basis. Or would this be frowned upon as it would be weird for the FOH to put in earplugs when the show starts.

Thanks!

Edit: i just bought some, theyre great.
