Dr. Caleb Kronen presented on hearing loss prevention to the next generation of artists and musicians at the Get Loud Music Summit in Denver, organized by Youth on Record. Many of the participants were touring musicians here for the three-day music festival called Underground Music Showcase - UMS in its 25th year. Participants learned about habits and tools to level up their music career while keeping their ears safe.

Did you know you can get custom ear plugs specifically for playing music without sacrificing the quality of sound? Make an appointment at the Marion Downs Center to get a baseline hearing evaluation and discuss options for protecting your hearing as a musician.
