Sensaphonics: Winner of the Inaugural Safe-in-Sound Award

When the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) and the National Hearing Conservation Association (NHCA) awarded their first Safe-in-Sound Awards in 2009, the winner in the category of Innovation in Hearing Loss Prevention was Sensaphonics. We were proud to earn this prestigious award, a testament to our decades-long dedication to preventing noise-related hearing loss.

Sensaphonics was selected to receive the Innovation Award for being a pioneer in combining products, audiology services, and education to reach our hearing loss prevention goals; for our culture of innovation and educational outreach; and for our efforts in raising awareness of the importance of hearing loss prevention among audiologists, the music industry and the general public.

This is an incredible honor,” said Michael Santucci. “To be recognized by NIOSH and the NHCA for our work in high-risk, unregulated environments like the music industry is incredible. It’s an affirmation that we’ve been doing the right thing by developing new products and technologies, educating our customers, and mentoring audiologists in how to help musicians achieve longer, healthier careers by preserving their hearing.”

To this day, Sensaphonics remains the only custom IEM manufacturer to win this prestigious award. We work to continue living up to this honor every day - to help make our world Safe-in-Sound.
