Michael Santucci - talking In-Ear Monitors and Education

Audiologist Michael Santucci is the president of Sensaphonics and considered by many to be the father of Music Audiology. Since 1985, he's been innovating music performance devices, clinical techniques, and educational programs that have raised the standard of hearing healthcare for music and entertainment professionals. His products are seen everywhere from the biggest stages on Earth, to 254 milesabove Earth in the International Space Station. His ceaseless work inspires clinicians to practice with high ethical standards when caring for the hearing of musicians, which is exactly the influence his mentorship has had on Talking Ears producers Frank and Juan. Further, he challenges researchers to ask the big impactful practical questions, and creatively raises the funds to see those projects through. In this episode, we cover all that and still have time for a few memorable stories. Music heard in this episode is by Juan Vasquez, Scott Hallam, and Frank Wartinger.
