Hey everyone,
I always thought that when musicians play live with in-ear monitors, they need to blast the signal on a really high volume in order for the monitors to work (which would lead to some serious hearing damage I guess). I never realized that the monitors can actually attenuate the surroundings. When we play, I usually wear earplugs to protect my hearing (club gigs tend to get really loud and muddy).
What my question is: is it possible with in-ear monitors to achieve a situation, when you clearly hear everyone in the band that you want to hear, at a comfortable volume without having to fear going deaf?
If you know any particular models, feel free to mention them, I don´t think that I will be able to afford (or actually need) them any time soon, but I would like to know about the options available.
