in the 2000s, some bands and singers, typically touring professionals, began using small "in ear"-style headphone monitors. in-ear monitors allow musicians to hear their voice and the other instruments with a clearer, more intelligible sound, because the molded in-ear headphone design blocks out on-stage noise. while some in-ear monitors are "universal fit" designs, some companies also sell custom-made in-ear monitors, which require a fitting by an audiologist. custom-made in-ear monitors provide an exact fit for a performer's ear. in-ear monitors greatly reduce on-stage volume by eliminating the need for on-stage monitor wedges. this reduced on-stage volume makes it easier for the front of house audio engineer to get a good sound for the audience. in-ear monitors also make audio feedback "howls" much less likely, since there are no monitor speakers. the lower on-stage volume may lead to less hearing damage for performers. one drawback of in-ear monitors is that the singers and musicians cannot hear on-stage comments spoken away from a microphone (e.g., the bandleader turning away from the vocal mic and looking at the band and calling for an impromptu repetition of the chorus) or sounds from the audience. this issue can be rectified by placing microphones in front of the stage so that the band can hear the audience.
