Often as the day goes by audio engineers and producers have a tendency to keep cranking up the volume little by little as their ears become tired. Big studios are kitted out with powerful monitors and it’s very affordable to get high volume, high quality speakers at home these days. Keep an eye (or ear!) on the volume when you’re in the studio. So, what can you do to protect yourself and avoid damaging your hearing? This wouldn’t only hamper you as an audio technician but it can be extremely annoying and impact on the quality of your life. You know that ringing noise after you’ve been at a really loud gig? That’s called tinnitus and you can end up with it permanently. The bottom line is that the ear is very delicate and it can be easily damaged beyond repair. These are sent to the brain and are then perceived as sounds! Not only does your ear allow you to hear but the fluids inside help you to balance – amazing right?! These little vibrations are picked up by the cochlea which translates the vibrations into nerve impulses. The sound travels along the canal and makes the eardrum and the small bones attached to it vibrate. The outer part is called the pinna and sound is funneled through this into the external auditory canal. The human ear is a brilliant piece of engineering and it’s made up of the external, middle and inner area.
We always recommend taking little breaks, watch the volume, use ear bud protection and to try to avoid over doing it. It can easily take more than a day for our ears to recover from that kind of over-load, making it impossible to work effectively the next day. Unfortunately, there probably isn’t an engineer on the planet who hasn’t made the mistake of overdoing it during a session – frying their ears as a result. What’s the most important tool for a music producer, audio engineer or in fact anyone working in the music technology industry? Their Ears of course!įancy desks, mics, outboard gear and kick ass guitar amps are worth nothing if you damage your ears.
