I use HEAROS ear plugs. Get this. I use them when I play my single cone resonator at home! Yes it is brutally loud, but more than that it's the attack. My ears feel slightly numb, and there is a little more background noise, not to the level of tinitus, if I don't use the plugs .
My tricones, and my normal guitars don't bother me, but I can feel my ears reacting to the single cone. If in doubt, get some plugs. The HEAROS are inexpensive, way under $15 if I recall correctly. they may not be as high fidelity as the nicer ones, but they are reasonably flat across the spectrum, and they do the job.
