Music and
Hearing Aids: A Clinical Approach is written for hearing health
care professionals working with hard-of-hearing musicians and music
lovers. This highly relevant book breaks down the research for how
music can, and should, be processed through modern hearing aids and
offers the busy audiologist clinically based strategies to optimize
the sound of amplified music
Hear The Music, now in its 5th edition, was written for musicians
and represents over 35 years of clinical work at the Musicians’
Clinics of Canada. The topic of hearing loss prevention is something
that has evolved from a fringe concept, to something that is now
part of the cornerstone of every musicians’ training. Musicians are
now, more than ever, aware of the importance of protecting their
hearing (and livelihood).
Most often the early signs of hearing loss show up as a temporary
change in one’s hearing threshold. This typically resolves within
16-18 hours and we have all experienced this, especially after a
loud concert or a long day at work- typically a feeling of muffled
sound and perhaps some ringing in your ears.
