Ever wondered if in-ear monitors (IEMs) can truly safeguard a musician’s hearing? This episode promises to uncover that truth. Join us as we welcome Dr. Melissa Heche, an eminent audiologist, musician, and sound engineer, who dispels the myths surrounding IEMs. Dr. Heche, who has trained with Mike Santucci at Sensaphonics, provides an expert perspective on why IEMs are not standalone hearing protection devices and highlights the essential tools and practices for effective hearing conservation among musicians.

Choosing the right IEMs is pivotal, and Dr. Heche walks us through the process, from detailed audiological evaluations to the setup and management of these devices. For those just starting out, we provide tips and recommendations for selecting the best IEMs to meet their needs.
