How the artists don't get deaf using all the time in-ear monitors?

Question

how can someone prevent that?, if he/she is always on tour.

Answer 1

I use an in-ear monitor when I perform, as do the others in my group, but they have volume controls so we can hear the music without blasting our eardrums out. It's a lot safer than using stage monitors pointed at us, like in the old days.

Answer 2

Easy, they aren't turned all the way up. They are safer than the old style of monitors, where they had to be turned up to full blast to be heard.

They won't cause you to go deaf. But, playing in an enclosed room, with a drummer playing loud, a bass player who turns up too loud (like they all do) and a guitar blasting his Strat through a Marshall Half Stack all will lead to deafness

Answer 3

The ear pieces are moulded to fit the artist, so it cuts out everything apart from the small speakers that are moulded in them.

Answer 4

Most of them do lose some hearing, and if they have the volume really loud they stand a good chance of losing most of their hearing.
Boom boxes take a lot of hearing form those who use the continually in their teens.most places make it illegal for boom boxes or music outside ouf your car or home area.
