On Thursday 2nd October, I had the privilege of representing Harley Street Hearing and Musicians’ Hearing Services at a Hearing Health event hosted by Remedē Health and TinniSoothe at Bang & Olufsen Mayfair. The evening brought together experts and advocates to share insights on how musicians can protect their hearing without compromising their performance.

Learning from Fellow Experts

I was honoured to join a panel with Andrea Greene (Remedē Health), Howard Presland (TinniSoothe), Alex Brooks-Johnson (Tinnitus UK), Andy Shiach (ACS Custom), and Dr. Ryan Chin Taw Cheong (Cleveland Clinic London). Together, we explored practical strategies for hearing protection, managing tinnitus, and maintaining long-term ear health.

The discussion covered custom in-ear protection, the importance of regular hearing checks, and personal experiences with tinnitus. One key takeaway from the evening was clear: early awareness and proactive prevention are essential for preserving hearing in the music industry.

It was inspiring to meet so many people who share my passion for hearing health and are committed to raising awareness. I’m particularly excited about the future of tinnitus management and how it can help musicians continue their careers safely.

As Clinical Lead at Harley Street Hearing and Musicians’ Hearing Services, I support musicians and performers across the UK with hearing aid technology, custom hearing protection, and personalised education. Helping artists protect their hearing so they can stay connected to the sounds they love is at the heart of what I do.

For music producer and songwriter Geo, sound is more than just hearing, it is how they connect with the world. Having relied on hearing aids for years, they began noticing that some frequencies, especially in the low and mid ranges, were becoming harder to hear. This was affecting not only daily life, but also their music.

“I had been using the same hearing aids for about six years,” Geo explains. “I did not realise at first how much of the sound spectrum I was missing. Chords and bass lines were not clear in my tracks, and it was subtly affecting my creativity.”

Finding the right support

At the time, Geo’s audiologist was overseas, making it hard to get regular adjustments or specialist care tailored to a musician’s needs. Discovering Harley Street Hearing through the Musicians’ Hearing Health Scheme was a turning point.

They booked an appointment with audiologist Fiona Butterworth, whose understanding of both music and hearing health made an immediate impression. “Fiona’s attention to detail convinced me to choose Harley Street Hearing,” Geo says. “Having someone local who understands a musician’s needs has been invaluable.”

The right technology

After a thorough consultation, Geo was fitted with Phonak Audéo Lumity hearing aids. Fiona explained the different technology levels and why this model, with its music-friendly accessories and advanced sound processing, would suit their lifestyle.

The results were immediate. “When I first put them on and listened to my music playlist, I heard details I had never noticed before,” Geo recalls. “The clarity across low and high frequencies was incredible. It completely changed how I experience music.”

Life-changing features

The hearing aids’ dedicated music mode has been transformative, allowing Geo to hear layers of sound previously missed. Speech-in-noise mode has also made everyday conversations much easier, helping them focus on voices while tuning out background noise.

Adjusting took some time, as expected, but over a year later, Geo cannot imagine going back. “Your brain adapts,” they explain. “Now I can fully appreciate the detail in music again. It has been life-changing.”

The importance of ongoing care

Geo credits much of their success to Fiona’s ongoing support. “She is the only audiologist I see now. Fiona takes time to troubleshoot, explains the settings, listens to my needs, and even supports me with urgent appointments and funding applications. I honestly could not ask for more.”

Back to enjoying music

Today, Geo feels confident in both the studio and daily life. Their hearing aids are discreet, reliable, and perfectly tailored, allowing them to create, perform, and enjoy music with clarity they once thought was lost.

“If you are a musician worried hearing aids might hold you back, do not be. With the right support, they can give you so much back.”

For 29-year-old trumpet player Luke, music has always been at the heart of his life. Years spent performing live had immersed him in powerful, complex sound, but when he started noticing a persistent ringing in his right ear, everything changed.

The first warning signs

At first, the tinnitus was subtle, but in quiet hotel rooms while on tour, it became impossible to ignore. “Sleeping was difficult, and I worried constantly about how this might affect my career,” Luke explains. “Knowing that tinnitus in one ear can sometimes indicate more serious issues added to the stress.”

Seeking expert advice

Luke discovered Harley Street Hearing through the Musicians’ Union and booked a consultation to assess his hearing health. He wanted to identify any factors contributing to his tinnitus, explore custom earplugs to protect his hearing, and trial in-ear monitors (IEMs) for safer, controlled sound during performances.

His appointment with audiologist Matt Frost made an immediate impact. “Matt advised me to get NHS scans because the tinnitus was only in one ear,” Luke recalls. “Everything came back clear, which was a huge relief.”

Matt also explained how Luke’s years of standing on one side of a drum kit had likely contributed to the problem and guided him on consistent hearing protection.

“Matt really understood what it meant to be a professional musician,” Luke says. “He’s around my age and knows the realities of life on tour. Having that support was invaluable.”

Taking control of his hearing

Today, Luke feels informed, reassured, and empowered. By following Matt’s guidance on safe noise exposure and using custom ear protection, his tinnitus has reduced and become a useful signal rather than a constant stressor.

“My tinnitus now acts like a warning system,” he explains. “If it spikes, I know the environment is too loud and I need protection. In a way, I’m grateful for it.”

Adjusting to new tools

Learning to use IEMs as a trumpet player came with challenges. The occlusion effect—feeling “blocked in” while playing—made the adjustment tricky at first. Over time, however, Luke became comfortable with them.

“Most importantly, I know I am protecting my hearing and safeguarding my career,” he says. “It’s completely worth it.”

Advice to fellow musicians

Luke’s message is simple but vital: “Prevention is the best medicine. Don’t ignore the warning signs. Take action early to protect your hearing while still enjoying the music you love.”

Whether you’re dealing with tinnitus, exploring custom hearing protection, or considering IEMs for safer stage sound, expert guidance can make all the difference. Contact us today to find out how to protect your ears and your career.

For Elena, sound has always been a lifeline. As a professional musician with a visual impairment, her ears connect her to the world in ways most of us take for granted. Yet, over time, she began to notice subtle changes that made her question whether her hearing was still as sharp as it needed to be.

The first signs

Elena’s awareness of potential hearing difficulties started with a message from the Musicians’ Union encouraging members to check their hearing. It struck a chord. She remembered the trauma of the 7th July 2005 attacks in London and wondered whether her hearing changes were real or just a product of her imagination.

“At first, I couldn’t tell if something was wrong,” Elena recalls. “Because of my visual impairment, I rely on hearing more than most. It’s how I navigate the world and my music.”

At the time, living in Scotland, she had tried NHS hearing aids. They helped, but her professional needs were complex, and she longed for a solution that fit both her musical career and her daily life.

The impact on daily life

Before finding the right support, Elena often felt frustrated and isolated. “I struggled to follow conversations, and once I even sang the wrong note while harmonising,” she shares. “Having to constantly ask people to repeat themselves was embarrassing.”

The challenges weren’t limited to music. Crossing streets or navigating busy areas became daunting. “I rely on hearing to cross safely. When I couldn’t hear properly, I felt nervous and unsure. I might have annoyed a few motorists too,” she says with a laugh.

Finding specialised support

Elena reached out to the Royal Society of Musicians, who guided her toward more tailored options. That led her to Harley Street Hearing, where audiologist Matthew Allsop took the time to understand her unique situation.

“Matthew has been incredible,” Elena says. “He listens carefully, not just to what I say, but to what I need as a musician and as someone visually impaired.”

After a detailed discussion of her hearing challenges, Matthew recommended Widex Moment RIC hearing aids. These devices adapt automatically to different environments, reducing the constant need for manual adjustments.

“One of the things I love most is that the aids adjust themselves,” Elena explains. “I can also tweak settings using the Widex app when necessary. It’s made life so much easier.”

Life with hearing aids

Adjusting to her new hearing aids was smooth, and four years later, Elena has noticed profound improvements.

“I no longer sing off-key, I can tune my instrument accurately, and I feel more confident moving around,” she says. “Social situations are easier, too, though public spaces still have room to become more hearing-friendly.”

Elena emphasizes the importance of a collaborative relationship with an audiologist. “Many people don’t know what to ask for or how to describe their struggles. Having someone who listens and adapts makes all the difference. Without Harley Street Hearing, I’d probably still be missing out.”

Back in tune with life

Today, Elena feels fully reconnected to her music, independence, and the world around her.

“My life has changed completely,” she reflects. “Finding an audiologist who truly understands your needs is transformative.”

Choosing the Right Hearing Aid for Musicians

Finding the right hearing aid for music can be challenging, as there is no one-size-fits-all solution. Musicians have unique hearing needs, from preserving musical dynamics and tonal balance to performing in noisy rehearsal spaces or on stage.

Whilst the hearing aid is a key component in optimising your listening experience as a musician, your audiologist will play just as important a role. Make sure you find an audiologist who understands the needs of musicians, and that can not only recommend the most suitable technology, but also fine tune and optimise them for you and your for the best music listening and performance.

If you are a musician looking for personalised advice, contact us. Our team of experienced clinical audiologists can help you choose and optimise a hearing aid that supports both your hearing needs.

Read the story about how one of our patients fell in love with music again.

For Chris, music has always been more than a hobby – it’s a passion and part of his identity. With a background in hi-fi and a deep love for sound, he spent countless hours enjoying the richness of live performances and recorded music. But gradually, something began to change.

When music started to fade

Over the course of three years, Chris noticed that the sound he loved no longer felt the same. His hi-fi system seemed dull, the clarity of instruments was missing, and live performances lacked the vibrancy he remembered.

“I’ve got a background in music. I love music and hi-fi. I think this is one of the reasons I didn’t do anything about it,” Chris admits. “I felt it would be detrimental to my enjoyment of listening to music.”

The fear of losing the joy of music stopped him from seeking help – but it also meant he was missing out on more than just melodies. Everyday conversations at work and home became harder to follow, leaving him frustrated.

Finding the courage to act

Eventually, Chris realised he could no longer ignore the impact hearing loss was having on both his music and his daily life. After researching online, he discovered Harley Street Hearing through the HearingTracker YouTube channel and was impressed by the professional, approachable advice of audiologist Matthew Allsop.

He booked a consultation, where a thorough hearing test confirmed significant high-frequency hearing loss. Importantly, there was no pressure to make a decision – Chris felt supported and understood throughout.

Hearing music in full colour again

At his follow-up appointment, Chris was fitted with trial hearing aids. What happened next took him by surprise.

Over six weeks – at work, at home, and even on holiday in Italy – the difference was extraordinary. Conversations were clearer, meetings became manageable again, and most importantly, music came back to life.

“Music sounded vibrant and full again,” Chris says. “Whenever I took the hearing aids out, I realised just how much I’d been missing.”

A shared understanding

Chris credits much of his positive experience to his audiologist, Fiona Butterworth, who also has a background in music. She immediately understood his concerns about sound quality and tailored the hearing aids to ensure his enjoyment of music was protected.

“She was very thorough, explained everything very well, and gave me lots of options,” Chris recalls. “Her professionalism and follow-up care gave me complete confidence.”

The right solution

Chris ultimately chose Phonak Audéo Infinio Sphere hearing aids, which are discreet, comfortable, and easily customised through the app. They’ve transformed his daily life – but for him, the biggest success is being able to enjoy music the way he always has.

“Life feels much richer now,” he reflects. “Whether I’m listening to my hi-fi, going to a concert, or just enjoying conversations, I finally feel like I’m back in the moment.”

Chris’ advice to others

For anyone hesitating to seek help because of a love of music, Chris has a clear message:

“Don’t delay because there’s no point. If you suspect you’ve got hearing loss, then you probably have. It’s worth finding out the severity. Don’t be scared about what people are going to think, because it’s really not as bad as it is in your own head.”

If you’ve ever felt like sounds don’t quite match up between your ears, maybe one note sounds slightly higher in one ear than the other or you notice an odd echo effect, you could be experiencing something called diplacusis, often described as “double hearing.”

It’s not very common, but for those who do experience it, it can be disorientating and sometimes worrying. The good news is that diplacusis is usually linked to an underlying cause, and with the correct treatment and care, the symptoms typically resolve.

What is diplacusis?

Diplacusis is the medical term for “double hearing.” This occurs when the same sound is perceived differently in each ear. For example, a note played on a piano may sound like two separate notes, one slightly sharper or flatter than the other.

Most of the time, our ears work together to deliver a single, unified sound to our brain, in the same way that our eyes do with images. But when diplacusis occurs, that harmony is disrupted, leading to two versions of the same sound. It’s similar to experiencing double vision, but with your hearing.

What does diplacusis sound like?

People with diplacusis usually notice one of two main types:

• Pitch difference (diplacusis dysharmonica): The same sound is heard at different pitches in each ear, for example one ear hears “C” while the other hears something closer to “C sharp”.
• Echo effect (diplacusis echoica): Sounds arrive at slightly different times in each ear, creating an echo-like sensation.

Both can make listening to music, following conversations, or even everyday sounds feel unusual and unsettling.

What causes double hearing?

Diplacusis is often linked to issues affecting one ear more than the other. Common causes include:

• Hearing loss that is uneven between ears, known as asymmetrical hearing loss.
• Sensorineural hearing loss, often related to ageing or long-term noise exposure.
• Ear blockages, such as earwax, infection, or fluid behind the eardrum.
• Ear or head trauma, injuries that affect the inner ear or hearing nerve.
• Medications or conditions, such as Ménière’s disease or ototoxic drugs.

In some cases, musicians notice diplacusis earlier than others because of their heightened sensitivity to pitch and tone.

Can diplacusis be treated?

The treatment depends on the cause. For example:

• If it is related to earwax or infection, removing the blockage often resolves the issue.
• If it is linked to hearing loss, hearing aids may help balance sound between your ears and reduce the sensation of double hearing.
• In more advanced cases of hearing loss, cochlear implants may be recommended.

Other approaches, such as sound therapy or auditory training, may also help the brain adjust to differences between the ears.

When should you see a specialist?

If you notice that sounds don’t quite match between your ears, especially if this happens suddenly, it’s important to book an appointment with an audiologist. At Harley Street Hearing and Musicians’ Hearing Services, our expert team can carry out a full hearing assessment, check for any underlying medical issues, and recommend the most appropriate treatment. We’ll help identify the cause and find the best way forward, so you can return to hearing clearly and comfortably again.

For musicians, sound is more than just something you hear – it’s something you feel, interpret and express. If you’re a musician experiencing hearing loss, you may be wondering how hearing aids could affect your relationship with music.

At Musicians’ Hearing Services, we’ve spent over 25 years supporting the entertainment industry with high-quality hearing care, from custom-made hearing protection and In-Ear Monitors to diagnostic testing to the latest hearing aid technology.

This guide outlines what to expect from hearing aids as a musician, how they can be fine-tuned for musical listening, and the crucial role your audiologist plays in optimising your experience.

Sound Quality

Your experience with the sound quality of music plays an important role in shaping our hearing aid recommendations.

If you are struggling to hear music clearly due to a hearing loss, then hearing aids can make a significant difference. Whereas, if you’re noticing changes in how you perceive pitch quality, and it doesn’t seem as strong as it used to be, we will ask specialised questions to better understand the nuances of your experience and guide you through the next steps of your journey.

A common concern among musicians is whether hearing aids distort music. The honest answer? Yes, but only if the hearing aid hasn’t been carefully programmed to optimise the sound quality for music.

Hearing aids are designed with speech in mind. Features that enhance speech clarity for conversation, can negatively impact the quality of music. To overcome this, it’s important to create dedicated settings that are tailored to your needs for you to use in musical spaces, without compromising your day-to-day conversation settings.

Tailored Recommendations

There’s no one-size-fits-all solution when it comes to hearing aids for musicians.

Your audiologist will use the information gathered during your assessment to recommend a hearing aid that aligns with your lifestyle, musical endeavours, and audiological requirements.

Depending on your goals, they may suggest hearing aids with features such as:

• Adjustable feedback management
• A wide range of frequency channels
• App-based remote control to adjust settings in the moment

At Musicians’ Hearing Services, we offer hearing aids from all major UK manufacturers. As an independent practice, we’re not tied to any one brand. This means that we have access to the full range of hearing aids on the market, so you can be confident you’re getting the best solutions for your individual needs.

Curious about specific models? Explore the different hearing aids we work with in our Comparing the Best Hearing Aids of 2025 so far blog.

The Role of Your Audiologist

Even the best hearing aid technology won’t deliver the results you need straight out of the box.

Your audiologist plays a key role in getting the best performance from your hearing aids. At your first appointment, they’ll use various measurements to find the most optimal settings for speech. However, fine-tuning for music can take some more time, especially because listening to music is a personal and subjective experience.

At your follow-up appointment, your audiologist will take into account your initial impressions of how music sounds through the hearing aids. Based on your feedback, they’ll carefully consider adjustments to further improve the quality of music.

While there is much overlap in the terminology of the musical and audiological worlds, describing how something sounds isn’t always easy. So, rest assured our experience holds us in the best position to facilitate the translation of your experience into meaningful hearing aid adjustments.

Working with an audiologist who understands both hearing technology and musical nuance makes a significant difference. Our audiologists have extensive experience from working with musicians over the years and you’ll find that several of them are musicians themselves. They understand firsthand how important it is to preserve the richness and detail of sound.

Our admin team will help match you with the audiologist best suited to your needs and arrange your appointment accordingly.
