Given that musicians are at extremely high risk for this type of progressive and permanent, yet completely preventable, hearing damage, we want to ensure that they understand how to enjoy their passion for music while conserving their hearing.

Collaboration Interests:
We would love to collaborate in the education of music students about NIHL and hearing safety.
Ear Peace Foundation can provide a free classroom presentation (in person, virtual, online) that will teach students about hearing health, NIHL, and safe listening practices.
We want to empower the next generation of musicians to have all the information necessary to enjoy music and allow them to experience a lifetime of hearing health.
We would also be interested in training musicians to serve as Ambassadors who could then teach younger musicians about the importance of protecting their hearing.
