MDC Music Audiology

About MDC Music Audiology

MDC Music Audiology was founded by Dr. Caleb Kronen (pictured above), a local musician and audiologist.  Dr. Kronen has played music his entire life and has been playing live shows for 12 years around the state. During this time, he has learned about the challenges that people in the music industry face when it comes to hearing. From internationally famous artists playing Red Rocks to local community members, our audiologists provide evidence-based practices and state-of-the-art equipment to ensure excellent outcomes for all our patients. 

How can I protect my hearing?

The best solution is CUSTOM IN EAR MONITORS or CUSTOM HEARING PROTECTION

While regular foam ear plugs block out lots of treble, it blocks out very little bass, which ruins sound quality. Using state-of-the-art sound filters, our custom music hearing protection reduces the volume that reaches your ears without sacrificing good, natural sound quality.

We offer CUSTOM HEARING PROTECTION including custom-fit, filtered earplugs with medical grade silicone.

We conduct fit-testing at our clinic to ensure comfort and verify they're blocking out the required amount of noise, while still allowing speech to be heard.

Your hearing can last a lifetime. Protect it! 

Custom In-Ear Monitors

If used properly, in-ear monitors can prevent hearing loss from high volumes on stage by letting the user choose their own listening volume.

Our fully custom earpieces are sculpted, and polished by hand from impressions we take of your ears, resulting in the best fit and acoustic seal possible.

Balanced-armature drivers provide enhanced sonic detail and frequency range that extends beyond typical stage monitors or non-custom in ear monitors.

Custom in-ear monitors maintain the dynamic lows that musicians have come to expect for on-stage performances, while still providing the shimmering highs

Custom Filtered Music Hearing Protection

Sound levels at modern concerts are typically 100 – 120 decibels. These intense sound levels at concert venues, practice spaces and recording studios can often cause permanent hearing loss in just minutes of sound exposure. Foam earplugs block out lots of treble and very little bass which ruins sound quality.

Using state-of-the-art sound filters, custom music hearing protection reduce the volume that reaches your ear without sacrificing good sound quality. Filtered hearing protection devices are great for musicians, audio engineers, photo and video personnel, management, concert enthusiasts, bartenders, etc.
