About the Webinar: As musicians are increasingly in search of hearing loss prevention information and strategies, this presentation will provide a brief overview of the recent American Academy of Audiology consensus guidelines on treatment for music-induced hearing disorders.  There will be a focus on earplugs for musicians as well as the safe use of in-ear monitors.

What we will cover:

The presentation will briefly compare and contrast traditional onstage monitors with today’s in-ear-monitoring systems.  The role of the audiologist in selecting the most appropriate passive filter for earplugs and selecting the appropriate in-ear monitor earpiece while guiding the musician to safe use will be discussed.
