Do you think producing music can hurts your ears ? If yes what can we do to save them ?
Is it better to produce with headphones or with monitors ? Should we use ear protections when producing ? |

You asking the right questions MeditationProfonde . Sure .. producing music can hurts your ears . Thousands of hours in front of computer hearing those tunes again and again . What we can do ? I dont know .. You know Great Mozard was deaf so who is me to tell you an right answer to . You cant produce without expose to this highs or that lows sound in a high and deep vol' . I tell you what .. If you want to work right there is 1 "doctrine" to know .. your neighbors is the index , If they coming mean the track is good .
for producing with HP or not well im not the right persone to ask i hate it , There is no better then creat music with an monitors . You know the human being are always search and looking for protection in many things is good but i think that in an real professional producing process there is no other alternative for our ear .

If you hear ringing than you just lost a frequency.
Ringing is a bad bad sign be carefull and aware of your body.
take a few breaks if your going to be producing for a long span of time. It will benifit you in more ways than 1.
Do not use only headphones to produce you have a higher chance of doing long term damage this way.

Whenever your ears are "ringing" it just means that you lose some of your hearing.

How damn loud are you listening? you get ringings.... what does your neighbours say

i don't hear too loud. i don't know if it's the ringing you talk about. i felt for few seconds wired filling in my ear. i heard it very weak kind of ringing. it's fill like what the hell is going on?! and then it's stops. i think now that maybe it's happens when i/m not listening to the music. but it's happens in the music room. the room very dry because it's treated. so maybe from hours sitting here, my ears getting confused sometimes. they need more reverb and natural noise. |

i can only say try to avoid sessions around the whole day. in best case you write your story and just have a listen for few seconds time to time. doesnt matter for ear damage if it´s a headphone or a monitor.....
its that simple to destroy your hearing or damage it.
anyways it´s not only a matter of loudness. it also depends on the frequency range and how long you listen to the sound (i.e. listening two hours to really hard and high FM sounds weired modulated is not that good idea, no matter if the level is pretty low)....
and sure we all know that one looses the feeling for loudness after quite short while, because the ear adapts the level and shuts down, so what most of us will do after a while is raising the volume, cause things appear to be lower in level now. some later we think to hear that the sound got more flat and add some more high freq. content (eq,exciter,whatever), not registering that our ears just got tired and need a break!!!
THIS POINT you should really think about doin a break if it´s not too late. if your ears are ringing after a studio session, you really did something wrong. avoid this or live with the fact that you damage your ears.
i dont know what you guys mean by ear protection. the plugs you can get from your doc are for sound correction, not leveling down. the ones you can buy for level down, and you dont have to go to your doc for, are not made for production. they´re made for level down things on a party. maybe i´m wrong, but i dont think that ear plugs weared during a studio session will save your hearing. but sure they can on a big party with huge soundsystem.
the only way to avoid ear damage is each one of us by his/her own. think about what you´re doing, keep attention on what your ears are doing and how they react. if you have a "listen" to your ears, they will tell you how to save your hearing, which in our case is with the most important we have....
hope that kinda helps, cheers
