Tinnitus in DJs: what actually helps, and what doesn't
Tinnitus is common among DJs and musicians. What actually helps according to trials and reviews, what does not, and why hearing protection comes first.
Start with the thing that ends careers
Hearing
The exposure maths
Noise dose is logarithmic. Three decibels louder halves your safe exposure time, and a club is far past the threshold.
Protection
Do musicians' earplugs work?
A randomised trial tested earplugs against recreational noise exposure. They work, and only if worn.
Monitoring
Booth monitoring
Why you keep turning the monitor up, and how to break the loop that follows.
Buying
What actually matters when buying
Build quality, jog feel, standalone capability and driver longevity — not the feature list.
Risk
Tinnitus and hyperacusis

Audio

How response manipulations change perceived quality — and why "flat" is not a preference.
