A dirty work around for one mix IEM is to leave one ear out to get the local sound (your own?). It''s far from ideal and defeats some of the benefits but can work a little better for some people.

This works but please be careful as it's pretty bad for your hearing as you don't get the isolation so end up turning the IEM volume up to levels that can cause damage. A decent amount of info about that if you google it.

Indeed, hence why I called it a 'Dirty' workaround. Full IEMs cost money but the benefits are worth getting it right. Just be careful it doesn't hide other issues, we have a heavy handed drummist with a very efficient well tuned kit. When we do small venues the snare alone will make your ears bleed if you don't have IEMs and can't be comfortable for the audience.
