Just click once in the input level meter bars - clicking again will turn it off. Or you can click on the downward pointing triangle to the right of the mic icon in the input meter bar and use the dropdown.

This is a poorly documented feature of Audacity - and note that there is no visual cue to show you that monitoring is on or off - especially difficult if no signal is present and the meters don't bounce.
