Dr. Marshall Chasin - How to Protect Your Hearing for Music
Dr. Marshall Chasin is an audiologist with a passion for helping musicians and the Director of Auditory Research at the Musicians’ Clinics of Canada, serving there for more than 35 years. He keeps himself busy with multiple other positions in audiology, including his roles as an Adjunct Professor for the University of Toronto and Associate Professor at Western University.
Dr. Chasin is also a prolific author, having written 7 books and over 200 articles in his Hearing Review. He has received several notable awards for his work such as the 2012 Queen Elizabeth II Silver Jubilee Award and Canada 150 Medal in 2017.
In this episode…Few people appreciate and use their hearing as much as musicians. Both the performer and casual enjoyer are reliant upon their hearing to engage with music, something they can often take for granted. When people become aware of their hearing loss, it can be too late to fully reverse the effects. The best method is prevention, starting early to keep what’s most important.
Dr. Marshall Chasin has studied the overlap between music and audiology extensively, currently working at a clinic designed for musicians. Along the way, he’s found the underrepresented truth behind the two and the best ways to maintain your hearing as a musician. He’s written repeatedly on the topic, and is here to tap into his wealth of knowledge.
Dr. Mark Syms takes the time to interview Dr. Marshall Chasin, the Director of Auditory Research at the Musicians’ Clinics of Canada, to discuss hearing loss in music and how to avoid it. They start with the misconceptions behind music’s capacity to damage and how to actually prevent any further loss. They also go through what volumes are safe, the technology that can help you monitor them, and if genetics play a role. Hear all of this on this episode of the ListenUp! Podcast.
