Musicians and hearing loss - A fact through history

The unfortunate association between musicians and hearing loss goes back to the days of Ludwig van Beethoven. But on a much more tangible level, today's amplification and electronic instruments introduce real concerns for musicians and hearing loss. Professional musicians know that ear plugs are a necessary component of rehearsals and performances. It doesn't take a very high decibel level to cause hearing damage, and the damage is worsened when the exposure to loud sound levels takes place over extended periods. To protect their hearing and prevent tinnitus, musicians and sound engineers use ear plugs to block out damaging sound levels. Sensaphonics ear plugs and monitors for musicians make hearing loss a thing of the past. Audiologists and engineers have created new and technologically advanced ear plugs that serve musicians well in a variety of settings.

Use sound protection for practice and performance

The quality and professionalism of a musicians performance depends on being able to hear yourself individually as well as hearing the complete musical performance. That's why today's musicians prevent hearing loss with protective earphones and plugs. Whether you are performing the vocals or playing a particular instrument, you need to be sure that your contribution to the music is at the right tempo, in the right key, and in the right spirit with the rest of the ensemble. Often, the sound of the other instruments and placement within the group make it difficult for one musician to really hear himself or herself clearly.

Using the in-ear technology of a Sensaphonics monitoring device means that you'll protect your ears from the loud sounds of rehearsal, while being able to hear the other performers. At the same time, you'll hear your own contribution loud and clear. Often, the sound environment in a performance venue means that the noise level can be even higher during a performance than it was during practice. With Sensaphonics monitors, you will be able to hear your own channel, the ambient music of the rest of the group, directions, and creative discussion, and still feel assured that you are protecting your ears from the damage that comes from prolonged high-decibel sound exposure.
