Hearing Preservation Quick Tips

To help preserve your hearing:

  1. Avoid loud noise exposure whenever possible.
  2. Wear hearing protection during performance and rehearsals.
  3. When used properly, custom personal (in-ear) monitors such as Shure's PSM Series* can be used to help reduce sound levels during a performance.
  4. Use sound absorbing materials on the performance stage whenever possible.
  5. Know what sounds are loud enough to pose a potential risk of hearing damage.
  6. Educate others on hearing loss and hearing conservation strategies.
  7. Have your hearing tested by an audiologist.

*Proper use of personal (in-ear) monitors is your responsibility, though. The good news is that, with the isolation afforded by personal monitors, musicians can hear their monitor mix more clearly at lower volumes than necessary with traditional floor wedge monitors.
