4 Monday, April 24, 2000 Artists' Lifestyles Require Healthy Focus Dancers and singers enlist the help of specialists and trainers to safeguard their voices and bodies. By Erin Wynia Senior Writer When Limp Bizkit hits the road on tour, the band promises fans a loud, thrashing, grinding, pounding good time. For themselves, however, they prefer to keep their shows as quiet as possible. Prolonged exposure to sound levels that their concerts can reach - 105 deci bels and up - will damage band mem bers’ hearing, leading to hearing loss, ringing in the ears and deafness. And when professional musicians , lose their hearing, it’s a sure way to end : their careers. So bands like Limp Bizkit turn to .audiological professionals like Helena Solodar for help. Solodar, a hearing specialist with Audiological Consults of Atlanta, works .with rockers such as Limp Bizkit, Metallica and Madonna to outfit them with hearing protection devices. , r . “Metallica w r as the first band to pro .!mote hearing loss protection,” Solodar .said. H “Some bands stick cigarette butts and .cotton balls in their ears, and it may seem like they’re doing something, but jjetit and save!! /•“"v L VIV s>■ 7 -4IJSP you can earn sss and contribute gj to the future of medicine. t> Are You: l <■- A healthy individual •Willing to participate in medically supervised research studies. iv- ET*® B - .then you may be eligible to participate, i: You have to meet certain criteria to qualify for a study, i including our free medical exam and screening tests.

Gone are the days of stuffing tissues into the ears to drown out a loud amp. Now, musicians like Limp Bizkit buy custom-molded earplugs made especial ly to lower sound levels but not sacrifice sound quality. While those earplugs cost $l4O a pair, other devices run as high as SBSO a pair, Solodar said. Or, she said, some stars opt for head set monitors (like the ones Madonna wore on her Blonde Ambition tour) that will block all sound out except what comes through the headset’s channels. The devices not only protect hear ing, but voices, too. When singers cannot hear them selves over speak ers’ feedback, Solodar said, they’ll sing louder, “If they don’t take care of their bodies, they don’t have a lot to fall back on.” John Lavender Trainer, N.C. School of the Arts straining their vocal cords. But because the headset monitors provide a clear channel for vocals, singers can relax and sing in comfort able ranges. Solodar said she often received calls from clients as they came to Atlanta for concerts. She then goes to the concert site to conduct sound checks for the bands, placing miniature microphones in their ears to ensure that noise levels do not pose a danger of hearing loss. “While they’re playing, we can actu ally evaluate how much sound is being delivered to their ear,” she said. Exposure to noises above 85-90 deci bels will start to cause hearing loss, she said. If ears are musicians’ tools, than bod ies are dancers’ and actors’ lifelines. To keep their bodies and senses in working order, dancers and actors must take preemptive measures off-stage to avoid injuries during a stage perfor mance. For actors, guarding their voices and bodies takes on special significance as a show opening approaches. Adam Gertz, Studio 1 producer, said he made cast members stretch their bodies and vocal cords before every show. “It’s to be in tune with your instru ment, which is your body - it’s the tool actors use onstage to do their job," he said. Unfortunately, he said, staying healthy also means no loud cheering in the Smith Center, no smoking and no excessive alcohol drinking. Arts Not taking care of their vocal chords beforehand leads to voice loss. Dancers, too, must take extra care of their bodies to keep practicing their art. John Lavender, dance athletic train er at the N.C. School of the Arts, said the best way for dancers to prevent injuries and muscle strains was to warm up properly and strengthen their mus cles. “If they don’t take care of their bod ies, they don’t have a lot to fall back on,” Lavender said. Taking care of their bodies means that dancers eat properly, lift weights and do other stretching to strengthen lit de-used muscles. Areas that receive the most stress during exercise, like the foot, ankle, knees and hips, risk injury. Therefore, strengthening the muscles around these areas helps support them and can extend a dancer’s career by as much as 10 years. Proper nutrition will also extend a career, preventing the osteoporosis often suffered by dancers who starve themselves to maintain the thin image of professional ballet artists. Despite their precautions, sometimes dancers still get injuries, most common ly foot, ankle and hip tendinitis, bone chips, and lower back strains, Lavender said. “These things get to be problems because the core stabilization of the body is very weak in most dancers, and they have to utilize other muscles to compensate,” he said. To ensure that an injury does not pre maturely end a dancer’s career, Lavender continued, they must seek proper rehabilitation. Even visual artists must take care of their bodies, particularly guarding their eyesight. “Asa photographer, I feel like my eyes are my most important tool,” said I Back Pain Study TTicZlllmfti " y° u are between the ages of 18 and 55. have muscle pain in your lower back and otherwise are in good health, we invite you to call us at 881-0309 and find out more about a short research study that we are conducting.
