• Position speakers, amps and loud instruments as far away as possible from yourself, your crew, your musicians and your audience without compromising performance quality. • Give your ears quiet breaks of at least 15 minutes before and after a live production – If your ears are already fatigued prior to a loud production, you may increase the risk of hearing damage and degrade your listening acuity on the job. Inversely, finding quiet space to rest your hearing after a loud performance may aid in your ear’s ability to recover more quickly. • Communicate – Prior to production, establish an understanding between performers, production crew, promoters and venue management on best ways to manage decibel levels and acceptable limits for audience and production safety. Off the Job – Recreational Exposure If you’ve been over-exposed on the job, limit your risk for hearing damage off the job! • Be extra vigilant to limit or avoid activities and environments where decibel levels exceed 85 dB. A variety of amateur sound meter phone apps can provide basic dB readings that are adequate for off the job use. • Wear earplugs or earmuffs with a high noise-reduction rating (NRR) whenever you are around loud powertools, lawnmowers, home appliances, sports events, machinery, and concert and club venues. • Listen to your personal audio device at no more than 60% of maximum volume. No one near you should be able to hear your device if you are wearing earbuds or headphones. • Invest in noise-cancellation earbuds or headphones. Notice a change? Seek Medical Advice If you notice a change in your hearing ability, it is important to have it checked by a licensed ENT or otologist, so it can be diagnosed and properly treated. There are many causes for hearing loss – some are fully treatable, some can be a sign of a more serious health issue, while others - such as noise-induced hearing loss - can be managed through physician and audiologist recommendations. Assess Your Hearing Abilities If you’re a music industry professional and depend on good hearing for your career, you should have your hearing tested annually by a licensed audiologist. They can assess your personal hearing ability, monitor changes, and help address your specific listening and protection needs both on and off the job.
