Musicians’ Hearing Services provided a perfect service when booking, fitting and collecting my earplugs. The quality is second to none both in build and sound, across a range of monitors I have played on since using.
Once you start to use them you have much more control over the frequencies at higher volume and makes it much easier to manipulate whilst djing.
Essential equipment for people who dj in my opinion.
A few years back I became very aware of how much I was exposing myself to loud music.
However, as a DJ I was concerned about using earplugs and losing some of the feel of the room.
I have used these plugs now for 3 years and swear by them. It’s only when I take them out mid set that I realise how dangerous monitor levels can get. I do not DJ without them.
Jono Heale, from ACS talks to Paul Checkley – Harley Street Hearing & Musicians’ Hearing Services Clinical Director about hearing, how and why singers and musicians can damage this important sensory organ, and how to go about protecting this valuable asset.
Paul explains how the ear works, how it can get damaged, which particular frequencies and exposure times cause hearing loss, and how to conserve your hearing as a singer/musicians.
Did you know that our ears continue to grow throughout our lives? Weird, but true. It does mean you need to have your ear plugs and IEMs redone throughout your career.
