Musicians in-ear monitors are the best way to\r\nprotect your hearing from loud music. Exposure to loud music is one of the\r\nleading causes of noise-induced hearing loss. Musicians spend many hours\r\npracticing and performing and depend on hearing well to compose or perform\r\ntheir music. Unfortunately, consistent exposure to loud music carries a high\r\nprice. <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Damaging sound levels can lead to a host of\r\nhearing disorders including long-term hearing loss and tinnitus. Musicians\r\nearplugs and in-ear-monitors can help prevent noise-induced hearing loss while\r\nallowing musicians to enjoy the music and reduce their risk of developing\r\npermanent hearing damage.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Musician monitors block out the loud\r\nsurrounding sounds made by electric instruments, drums and audience members\r\nwhile delivering excellent sound feedback directly to your ears at a safe\r\nvolume.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Since musicians are often surrounded by very\r\nloud noise, most musician monitors are custom-made to fit an individual\u2019s ears.\r\nThis ensures that the earplugs are comfortable and that environmental noises\r\nare fully blocked while the sounds you want to hear are transmitted at the\r\nhighest quality possible. Universal in-ear monitors are also available for\r\nmusicians looking to cut costs, though they reduce the effectiveness of the\r\nearplugs and the caliber of the music.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Musician monitors have two parts: a transmitter\r\nand a receiver. The transmitters can be set up for mono or stereo sound and are\r\ntypically worn by a band\u2019s vocalist. One transmitter can send sound to as many\r\nreceivers as is necessary, so members of a band can all hear the same feedback\r\nthrough their in-ear musician monitors.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n
