With their complimentary perspectives as audiologist and engineer, Santucci and Frink bring a powerful combination of knowledge and perspective on hearing health and touring sound. The information presented at this session, when properly implemented, will help engineers create a stage environment that is conducive to both high-impact, high resolution monitoring and long-term hearing wellness.
Dr. Michael Santucci is an internationally acclaimed audiologist and hearing conservation expert. He is co-chair of the AES Technical Committee on Hearing and Hearing Loss Prevention. His firm, Sensaphonics, Inc., is a leading manufacturer of custom in-ear monitors.
