This is one thing I can't travel without, earplugs. Without these I can't go to clubs at all, in South America clubs and a lot of bars are way too loud, I don't know how people put up with it.
I've bought a custom pair from these guys: http://www.acscustom.com/uk/ they're expensive at close to £200 with the custom fitting but worth it.
First off they protect your hearing so no waking up the next day with your ears ringing but secondly they actually make clubs easier.
With custom earplugs they filter the noise so you can still enjoy the music and it's a lot easier to hear what people are saying so it makes it easier to talk to people - it basically turns a club into a bar.
At first I was a little self conscious to wear them but they're quite discreet and I've had so few people comment on them that it's really a none issue, if you're in a club or concert you will usual notice that the dj or performer will be wearing a pair of these.
The only real downside is that when you speak you will have some occlusion, if you've ever worn cheap earplugs you know what this is but again in a loud nightclub you can hardly even hear yourself speak so again it's not a big deal.
As to getting really drunk and losing them this is a possibility but they can't fall out due to the way they twist in so it's unlikely.
