Iโm pretty sure youโd genuinely perfect pitch to do this. When I used to sing in bands I used to shove cotton wool in one ear so I could hear myself! ๐
Zayn about using in-ears on his shows:
"I forgot what that sounds like when there's so many people. Before that (The Mexico show) I'd been pretty much doind theathers. So I didn't even want to use in-ears, because I don't like anything in my ear. And it was cool, in the theather, I could, like, get away with that a little bit, wasn't that loud. But in the arena, it was insane. Like, I had no headphones so I was just hearing the feedback from the crowd the whole time. My sound guy is always like: "I don't know how you doing this, bro". You know, we'll see what the long effects are of that on my ears. You know, i might be deaf in a few years. But the show went well. Got through it. They seemed to enjoy the vocals, even though I couldn't hear myself."
