    Musicians

    Area of Science:

    • Audiology and Music Acoustics

    Background:

    • Musicians' occupational exposure to sound may impact hearing.
    • Understanding hearing sensitivity in musicians is crucial for occupational health.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To compare hearing sensitivity between orchestral musicians and non-musicians.
    • To investigate hearing thresholds in conventional and extended high frequencies.
    • To develop a model for age-specific extended high frequency hearing thresholds.

    Main Methods:

    • Hearing sensitivity was assessed in 60 musicians and 30 non-musicians.
    • Audiometric testing covered conventional (0.25–8 kHz) and extended high frequencies (9–20 kHz).
    • Data were analyzed based on age, sex, and musician status, and compared to existing literature.

    Main Results:

    • Musician hearing sensitivity was comparable to non-musician hearing.
    • No significant hearing loss was detected due to orchestral noise exposure.
    • Hearing acuity varied when compared to different definitions of 'normal hearing'.

    Conclusions:

    • Orchestral musicians do not exhibit poorer hearing than non-musicians.
    • The study provides a mathematical model for predicting age-specific extended high frequency hearing thresholds.
    • Clarification on the definition of 'normal hearing' is warranted.
