Musicians’ Hearing Program
UWSHC audiologists provide evaluations and hearing protection customized for musicians, music lovers, and concert venue staff. The musician’s hearing evaluation includes a comprehensive assessment of hearing levels, with specialized testing designed to detect subtle changes in hearing caused by music exposure. Musicians receive personalized consultations regarding the hearing protection necessary for their specific music environments. UWSHC audiologists select and fit custom musician’s (“concert”) earplugs.
Hearing Protection
UWSHC audiologists select, order and fit comfortable, universal and custom-made earplugs for use in many different work and recreational environments. Patients use these earplugs for noisy work environments, yard work, hunting, sleeping, and more. All of the UWSHC’s custom earplugs can be ordered in a variety of colors.
Musicians Earplugs
The purpose of musicians earplugs is to preserve the fidelity of the musical environment while providing adequate hearing protection. The UWSHC audiologists take impressions, select, and fit custom musicians earplugs for musicians. Individuals who spend time in loud places with music also benefit from musicians earplugs, such as regular concert-goers or employees of loud bars and restaurants. Audiologists at the UWSHC also take ear impressions for custom in-the-ear monitors.
Swim Plugs
The UWSHC fits custom swimming earplugs for individuals of all ages. These are designed to keep water out of the ears while swimming or bathing.
