Looking after your hearing
As a DJ, the most important part of your body keeping you in work is your ears. A DJ with damaged hearing is going to struggle to get work so it is imperative you look after your ears. Here at DJ Store we have some advice and products which can help you look after your hearing.
They are comfortable and can be worn under headphones so no one sees them and come with a set of different frequencies depending on what kind of venue you are playing in. At £19, they are an absolute bargain and should be in everyone’s DJ bag.
For those of you DJing regularly, we highly recommend you invest in a pair of custom earplugs fitted perfectly for you. We have two sets. For those of you who crave the absolute best of audio quality, have a look at the Sensorcom ProGuard Earsonic Custom Earplugs. Containing 8dB, 13dB and 17dB filters, these will keep your ears absolutely safe and comfortable in a wide range of functions but allowing the full acoustic experience. For those of you working in even louder venues, we recommend the Sensorcom ProGuard Custom Music Earplug. For a very slight sacrifice in sound attenuation, the 18dB and 23dB included filters will ensure your hearing will make it through the noisiest of environments.
There are some other things you can do to make things easier on your ears. It is essential that you have a good fitting pair of headphones. Ensure your that your ears are properly covered up by the cups on your headphones, insulating you from the volume in the venue itself. Make sure and keep an eye on the volume both in the venue and especially in your headphones. If you ever have any suspicion that your hearing may not be quite right, go and visit the doctor and get everything checked out. And remember that CD players and mixers can be replaced but your hearing can’t – a little money spent now can look after your hearing for years and keep you working.
