DJ Rama. Musicians, sound designers, audio technicians, and even avid
music fans are at risk of hearing loss. Being exposed to loud music or
using headphones, earphones, or in-ear monitors for hours can damage
the ears. Here are some tips to protect one’s hearing.
Let the ears rest
DJ Rama. After attending a gathering where there’s music involved, one
might experience muffled hearing or ringing in their ears a few hours
later. To prevent this from causing further discomfort, experts suggest
avoiding loud sounds for at least 18 hours after the gathering. This is
especially necessary for those who are not used to being exposed to loud
sounds. On the other hand, those who work with music and loud sounds can avoid hearing damage by not
staying too close to speakers and by taking fifteen-minute breaks from sets.
Clean the ears properly
DJ Rama. Regularly using cotton swabs or
earpicks to clean the ear canal might cause
more harm than good. To keep the ears clean,
one can use cotton swabs or a damp cloth to
clean the outer part of the ears. Going to a
doctor for earwax removal is one of the safest
ways to get the more delicate parts of the ears
cleaned.
Use earplugs, earmuffs, and other noise-
controlling accessories
DJ Rama. There are custom-made earplugs that are made for musicians, sound professionals, and even
other workers who are exposed to loud sounds. Earmuffs can also help with reducing noise levels,
especially for those who are working in the field. Hearing experts suggest switching to in-ear monitors for
musicians so that they can monitor the mix that they hear on stage. Sound designers and audiophiles can
also opt for noise-canceling headphones or earphones that allow them to listen to music without
increasing the volume.
