  • Music Performance Science

Background:

  • Hearing is critical for musicians' professional capabilities.
  • Musical performance can generate sound levels high enough to risk hearing damage.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the literature on occupational hearing loss in musicians.
  • To identify research gaps concerning hearing impairment in this population.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of studies on occupational hearing loss among musicians.

Main Results:

  • Musical performance-induced hearing loss may not meet criteria for compensation.
  • Such hearing impairment can still hinder a musician's daily professional tasks.
