About the Webinar: The newly emerging hearing conservation sub-specialty known as “music audiology” addresses the unique needs of musicians and sound engineers as they rely on their highly developed hearing acuity to successfully practice their art/craft. This presentation will introduce attendees to the language, knowledge and mindset of the music and audio industries. By understanding how musicians and audio engineers work with and think about music and sound, hearing science professionals can develop a new set of “tools” for teaching hearing awareness to their patients and clients.
