Musicians, engineers, sales staff, designers, installers and music lovers of all stripes have one need in common: we must understand the sounds we are hearing. However, many of us take for granted the marvelous system our bodies have developed for receiving and processing sound. And some are so casual with the care and maintenance of that system that in the course of our daily lives we end up damaging our ears - the most important tools we have for doing the jobs we love.
Our two guests will take us on a fantastic voyage through our hearing system and talk about functional strategies for hearing protection and preservation, including annual hearing testing, monitoring sound level exposure, custom musicians earplugs and in-ear monitors. Information will be presented from the perspective of the medical profession and real-world professional audio applications. Please join us for what will surely be an informative and “ear-opening” evening.
Dr. Glick was first introduced to custom in-ear monitors and musicians earplugs when she started her career in a private practice in Los Angeles, California in 1997. Her passion for music and commitment to the field of audiology led her spend time backstage and in rehearsal studios with engineers and musicians of all genres. Through this experience, she has gained great insight and appreciation for all the technical details that go into live musical performances and how important hearing and hearing conservation is to musicians and music fans.
Dr. Glick received her Bachelor of Arts degree in Speech and Hearing Science from The Ohio State University, Master of Science in Communicative Disorders from California State University, Northridge and Doctor of Audiology from the Pennsylvania College of Optometry, School of Audiology. Dr. Glick is a licensed Audiologist and Hearing Instrument Dispenser in the state of New York and a Fellow of the American Academy of Audiology.
David Haines has served as a professional Front of House sound engineer to the worlds leading artists for the past nineteen years. For his graduation project as an audio engineering student at Loyola Marymount University, he recorded the demos for a small unknown LA-based hip hop band, which led to that band being signed to a record deal. That band turned out to be The Black Eyed Peas. Due to the success and quality of his mixes, The Black Eyed Peas asked him to record their debut breakthrough album, Behind the Front, at Paramount Studios. Mr. Haines has continued as the guiding force behind The Black Eyed Peas live sound, and he is sought after for world tours by other multi-platinum artists such as John Legend, Rihanna and Natasha Bedingfield.
As a sound engineering consultant for Musicians Hearing Solutions, Mr. Haines brings a unique understanding to assist listeners with all of the high end technology available to accomplish demanding performances both with in-ear monitors and front of house equipment.
