Musicians live in a world of sound — but high sound levels can quietly damage hearing over time. A music audiologist understands the balance between protection and performance, helping you protect your hearing without sacrificing tone or clarity.

Foam plugs block too much and can distort your mix. Custom-fit earplugs use specialized filters that evenly reduce sound across all frequencies, keeping your tone intact while lowering volume to safe levels — ideal for rehearsals, live shows, and studio work.

In-ear monitors let you hear a personalized mix directly in your ears, replacing loud floor wedges and reducing stage volume. Properly fit IEMs improve clarity, control, and safety. Waveform Audiology offers custom impressions and brand consultations for leading IEMs (Sensaphonics, 64 Audio, Ultimate Ears, and more).

Schedule a hearing wellness exam once a year. Just like tuning your instrument, regular checkups help you catch changes early and keep your ears performing their best.

That ringing (tinnitus) is your ears’ way of saying “too loud.” Even if it fades, repeated exposure can lead to permanent tinnitus or hearing loss. We provide tinnitus management and sound protection strategies designed for musicians.

Absolutely. We provide precision ear impressions for all major in-ear monitor brands and guide you through fit, comfort, and isolation — ensuring your monitors perform exactly as intended.

Common signs include turning up the TV, asking people to repeat themselves, or struggling in noisy environments. A comprehensive exam at Waveform Audiology can identify even mild changes — and early detection leads to better outcomes.

Age, genetics, noise exposure, ear infections, certain medications, and overall health can affect hearing. We identify your risk factors and develop a personalized hearing wellness plan.

Tinnitus is the perception of ringing or buzzing in the ears. While there’s no single cure, evidence-based therapies — including sound therapy, counseling, and Waveform Audiology’s LEVEL Method (Listen, Educate, Validate, Engage, Level Up) — can dramatically reduce its impact.

More than a hearing test — it’s a comprehensive evaluation of your hearing, lifestyle, and sound exposure history. We measure thresholds, communication needs, and wellness goals to create a custom hearing wellness plan.

Adults should have a baseline exam at 21 and then every 3–5 years, or annually if exposed to loud noise or noticing changes. Musicians and veterans should schedule yearly wellness exams.

Yes. We provide compassionate, evidence-based management for tinnitus and sound sensitivity, integrating counseling, sound therapy, and relaxation strategies tailored to your needs.
