Ear fatigue is real - protect your hearing

As producers, our ears are our most valuable tool. But many of us don't protect them: 1. Take breaks every 45-60 minutes 2. Monitor at conversation level, not concert level 3. Use reference tracks to check levels instead of turning up 4. Invest in earplugs for live events 5. Get annual hearing tests I know producers who have tinnitus from years of loud monitoring. Don't be that person. Your ears need to last your entire career. Beat-making on beatcorelab is a marathon, not a sprint. Take care of yourself!
