I'd say yes. There purpose is to dissipate the vibrations when riding. Its like ear plugs, without them after a while you'd eventually wish you had used them.

Yep. One of mine fell off and I left it for a while. Didn't take long before I got fed up with the buzziness on that end of the bar and fitted another one.

Make sure they're of equal weight, the heavier the better. A lot of those light alloy ones are useless.
