Hearing is critical for success as a musician and to those in the music industry. This realization, while seemingly obvious, is often not recognized until hearing disorders are present. This seminar will discuss the anatomy and physiology of the ear, music induced hearing disorders & prevention, and how to best optimize hearing through the use of in-ear monitors and other contemporary products on the market. These concepts are relevant to musicians, sound engineers, music producers and other people associated with the music industry.
