Musician Hearing Protection in Nashville, TN
Hearing Loss Prevention for Musicians
As a musician, you often encounter prolonged exposure to loud music and noise. This puts you at a higher risk for hearing loss. Here are some ways to preserve your hearing, and continue to enjoy listening, playing, and performing music for years to come.
- Limit exposure to loud music and noise.
- Let your ears rest for 5 minutes after a concert or rehearsal.
- Wear In Ear Monitors (IEM’s) when performing live. IEM’s provide acoustic isolation, allowing
your monitor mix to be heard clearly at a lower volume, while protecting your ears from loud
stage noise. - Listen to your TV, stereo (car and home), smartphone, etc. at lower volume.
- Use ear protection/ear plugs, when exposed to loud environments such as concerts, or when
near motorized lawn equipment, powertools, firearms, and fireworks. - Don’t use cotton swabs to clean wax out of your ear canal. This may damage your eardrum.
- Find ways to manage stress, such as physical exercise, to alleviate the effects of tinnitus.
- Have your hearing evaluated regularly.
