Hearing loss in DJing is no laughing matter. The career of a DJ is filled with towered speakers, blown monitors, and over compensated headphones. If DJ’s don’t take care of their ears out in the field, they can be at risk of losing a vital body function that you need to DJ. That is why it is always important to practice preservation techniques to save your hearing. The Australian government launched a new website recently that gives a pretty good gauge to test your hearing and evaluate your risk when it comes to hearing loss. Read more below about Know Your Noise and how it can teach you about your own hearing abilities. Noise Risk Calculator Being a DJ, typically, puts one into a high risk environment for hearing loss. Know Your Noise has two parts to understand one’s hearing abilities. The first part is a Noise Risk Calculator which looks at leisure and work activities to determine one’s risk of hearing damage from noise exposure. This is a comprehensive survey that takes about 8-10 minutes and goes into pretty much every aspect of one’s life. Taking the test is really easy to understand and I had no problem getting in each part of my life. The results also show how each part of your life contributes to your overall hearing score. Here is a sample of my results below to show the extensiveness of the Noise Risk Calculator. What is admirable about this Noise Risk Calculator is that it displays the leading categories of hearing loss while offering resources on how to prevent hearing loss. A big thing that I need to start doing more is wearing my ear plugs while DJing and going to concerts. Ear plugs may be the saving grace when it comes to developing hearing loss. Check out the DJTT store for your own pair of ear plugs made for music. Know Your Noise Hearing Test The Know Your Noise Hearing Test is the second part when it comes to understanding one’s hearing abilities. This test is meant to assess whether or not one’s hearing is damaged and if it is similar to other people’s results in their own age group. If people are having trouble hearing, they often report that they have trouble hearing in noisy environments. To assess this problem, the Hearing Test measures how well one can hear given a noisy environment. The objective is to repeat the numbers given as they are played along with what sounds like an electronic jack hammer. I took the test and I could hear a difference in the difficulty as the test progressed. I tested the hearing test without headphones so it became a little hard to hear but Know Your Noise does recommend using headphones while taking this test. Obviously this doesn’t replace a clinical test administered by an audiologist or ENT specialist however, if you are concerned about your hearing this test can be used as an estimate on your hearing abilities. Know Your Noise And Play Safe Know Your Noise is a great non-commercial tool for people, especially DJs, looking to assess their hearing abilities. People only have two ear drums and those do not repair themselves. For DJ’s it is very important to your hearing. Whether that means turning down the volume on ear buds when casually listening to music or wearing ear plugs when playing a gig, it is important that you take the time to protect your hearing. Know Your Noise has been created by the National Acoustic Laboratories (NAL) and is funded by the Australian Government Department of Health. Source: DJ TechTools

Apple has unveiled a new set of Macbooks that are incredibly thin, come in three different metallic colors, but also only sport a single USB-C port that acts as a dual conduit for data and charging. Here’s a few reasons why DJs eyeing a Mac should hold out for upgrades to the Macbook Pro line and avoid this flashy line of notebooks altogether: SINGLE PORT FOR EVERYTHING – INCLUDING CHARGING Welcome to the single port life. Apple has merged all the I/O on the computer into one single USB-C port, which many tech blogs are claiming will become as ubiquitous as the current generation of USB is in the next few years. This port includes power to the laptop itself, so without an $80 dongle (more on that below) you’re limited to one hardware peripheral at a time. Also no USB Type A port (what most computers currently have) means that all of your USB DJ devices and flash drives will require an adapter just to get connected. NO REDUNDANCY: DONGLES FAIL + GET LOST Here’s the $79 adapter dongle that you’ll need to buy if you want to split the single USB-C port into more usable subdivisions – USB-C for power, HDMI for external monitors, and a single USB 3.0 port for everything else. So for typical digital DJ, this will mean at least one more layer before plugging into soundcards and controllers – a USB hub. This turns a beautiful laptop into a machine with a mess of dongles and hubs connected to one side – not appealing especially in a DJ booth situation. This also means there’s zero redundancy – something that no digital DJ should ever want. This style of dongles (specifically DisplayPort and Thunderbolt adapters) is notorious for fraying and eventually failing entirely under normal use. What happens if your only connection to controllers and audio is severed in one swoop, or you leave your dongle at the hotel? There’s no way to even just make do with a single USB 3.0 slot, because there isn’t one. The dongle is not a professional solution and feels fraught with danger for performers. STORAGE LIMITATIONS The new Apple Macbook also has limited onboard flash storage - and since there likely won’t be USB-C drives out of the gate, we can assume that any external drive will have to go through the same dongle adapter situation. The default Macbook will come with just 256 GB of storage, upgradable to 512 GB – which are PCIe based and flash, so it’ll be snappy, but anyone with a large DJ library will rapidly find themselves running out of space quickly. THUNDERBOLT: MISSING IN ACTION It seems relatively recently that we saw the introduction of Thunderbolt on Apple computers (we first saw it in 2011), but it hasn’t been until the last year or two that hardware manufacturers in the music industry have actually started incorporating the technology into production tools. If this is the sign of things to come, Thunderbolt might become the next Firewire – a technology of the past that almost never had a chance to take off in our industry. Note that there’s also no Thunderbolt on the adapter dongle – Apple opts for HDMI and USB 3.0 instead. SKIP THIS ROUND So the basic conclusion here is that despite the amazing battery life and great design on these new Apple machines, they’re just not suitable for DJ use. It seems like the Pro line will continue to be the best solution for most DJs and producers, which isn’t especially great considering the increased price points of that line. Apple certainly isn’t abandoning their Pro users, but it seems like they’ve figured out where they can make the most money: prosumer MacBooks. Source: DJ TechTools
