2025 NHCA Annual Conference

Music Audiology is a small speciality, however music people (performers, engineers, industry support professionals, avid concert goers) are a large population who seek hearing services from all practitioners. In this session, many of the most active and prolific speakers, clinicians, and researchers in the field will share important updates to best practice and technology/procedure updates pertinent to anyone interested in this population. Specific topics of focus will include recent progress in teleaudiology, best practices for safe use of in-ear monitors, verification and demystification of custom filtered hearing protection for performers, and updates on the many global initiatives for hearing loss prevention.

Learning Objectives:
1.Apply clinical best practices to the audiologic care of musicians and music industry professionals.
2.Identify tools and methods available to verify hearing protection devices and in-ear monitors.
3.Assess how teleaudiology impacts access to and provision of hearing healthcare to music industry professionals.
