AES United Kingdom Section Event – Can You Hear Me Now?
The most important tools for anyone involved in audio are those stuck to the side of your head. If you can’t hear it, you can’t work with it. Yet despite this simple fact, audio engineering and music production are high-risk occupations for acquired hearing loss and tinnitus. The evidence and statistics are frightening, with 40-50% of industry professionals affected by either hearing loss or tinnitus. But how can we avoid it, and if we have it, can we maintain our profession?
In this presentation, Alexandra Bartles, an Audiologist and Mastering Engineer will offer practical advice about hearing protection, tinnitus, and ear care. By the end, you’ll know what tinnitus is, its causes, and how to deal with it while maintaining a career in audio engineering. You’ll understand the importance of ear care and the role of hearing protection to help us maintain the most essential tools to perform our job.
