"It's not just the volume of the sound, it's the exposure time that creates ear fatigue and can lead to long-term hearing loss. Loud music can be a real rush, and there's nothing wrong with that. My goal is to teach people to enjoy loud sounds without damaging their hearing."

Michael Santucci (M.S., F-AAA) is the founder and president of Sensaphonics Hearing Conservation Inc., based in Chicago, Illinois. As a fully credentialed audiologist and ardent music lover, Michael has made it his life¹s work to help preserve the sense of hearing for those whose professions involve exposure to high sound pressure levels.

As president of Sensaphonics, Michael provides audiological consultation and customized earphones to many of today's top music performers. His articles on hearing health have been published in over 40 periodicals and he has been featured in Crain's Chicago Business, the Chicago Tribune, Chicago Sun Times, and a wide variety of music industry publications. As an advocate for hearing conservation, Michael has been featured on a variety of electronic media as well, both in Chicago and nationally.

To raise awareness of the damaging effects of loud sound exposure on hearing health, Michael guest lectures regularly at institutions like the Columbia School of Audio Engineering, Northwestern University, University of Chicago, the American Academy of Audiology, the Audio Engineering Society, the US Air Force, the GRAMMY® organization (NARAS), American Academy of Dispensing Audiologists, and others.

In 1999, his fellow Audiologists voted him to be the first recipient of the Larry Mauldin Award for Excellence in the Hearing Healthcare Field for "exemplifying the highest standards and commitment to the hearing care profession and for pioneering new ideas that change peoples lives."

In January of 2006, Michael was awarded the Natalie Stukas Hearing Conservation Award by the Illinois Academy of Audiology (ILAA) for his untiring dedication to the cause of hearing conservation. He is also Director of Membership and sits on the executive board of the National Hearing Conservation Association (NHCA).
