Yes, loud sound, even loud music, can harm hearing. Hearing
loss caused by exposure to loud sound is called noise induced hearing
loss. Using hearing protection can help
preserve hearing. If someone has
played in the band for many years, it may already have had a negative impact on hearing. But that doesn’t mean hearing protection would not help, it can help
prevent increased hearing loss when used properly.
There are many types of earplugs and muffs available. Ear muffs can distort the quality of the music. I recommend musician earplugs. Custom fit musician’s earplugs are designed
for musicians. They have filters which do not distort the sound maintaining
the quality of music. See an audiologist to have ear impressions taken so that they fit comfortably.
Musicians’ monitors are also custom fit. They provide clear
hearing, eliminate feedback and lower noise levels so that one can reduce the
volume on the monitor.
See an audiologist to find the best solution best fit to your personal needs.
