Hearing health education is important for everyone, but it is vital to musicians. Basic, working knowledge of ear anatomy, physiology, the prevention of music-induced hearing disorders, and the vocabulary used by hearing health professionals can create career-saving hearing health habits. For schools of music, it is essential that budding music industry professionals develop these habits early. Soundcheck Audiology has made this information accessible through a 9-video series which can be accessed via subscription. For schools of music, this video series covers the NASM/PAMA advisory guidelines on hearing health education.
