“…Additionally, subjective hearing loss and bilateral tinnitus showed statistically significant associations with the frequency of tinnitus in a subgroup analysis (Table ). Sleep disturbance has been reported as a risk factor for tinnitus not only in adults, but also in adolescents in previous studies . Consistent with these studies, sleep problems were also associated with tinnitus in the present study.…”

“…In that study, the locus of control seemed to affect tinnitus severity only indirectly, as partial correlations indicated that this effect was mediated by the locus of control on anxiety and depression. Contrary to popular belief, abuse of alcohol has not been identified as a significant risk factor for tinnitus 17 . A negative association between physical activity and duration of tinnitus has been reported 18 .…”

Objective: Rock musicians are known to have an increased prevalence of hearing loss and tinnitus. The aims of the present study were to examine the distribution of anxiety and depression symptoms among rock musicians with or without tinnitus and how these mental health indicators and internal locus of control influenced upon their tinnitus symptom concerns and the degree to which the tinnitus affected their lives. Design: The study was a questionnairebased cross-sectional survey of subjects selected from a cohort of rock musicians. We recruited 111 active musicians from the Oslo region, and a control group of 40 non-musicians from the student population at the University of Tromso. Results: Among the rock musicians 19.8% reported permanent tinnitus vs. 0% among the controls. Musicians more often reported anxiety symptoms than controls (35.1% vs. 17.5%), however this prevalence was not different in musicians with and without tinnitus. Tinnitus-affected musicians reported depressive symptoms, significantly more than controls (13.6% vs. 5%). Rock musicians consumed more alcohol than controls, but alcohol consumption was unrelated to severity of tinnitus. Drug abuse was not more prevalent in rock musicians than in controls. Duration of tinnitus, internal locus of control, sleep disturbance and anxiety were significant predictors of how affected and how concerned musicians were about their tinnitus. Conclusion: Rock musicians are at risk for the development of chronic tinnitus, and they have an increased prevalence of anxiety. There is an association between chronic tinnitus and depressive symptoms in rock musicians, but our results are ambiguous. Although rock musicians have a chronic exposure to noise, noise-induced hearing loss is not the sole causative agent for the development of tinnitus.

“…Tinnitus, often associated with hearing loss, has been reported in community surveys of young people associated not only with occupational noise exposure but also with other sources of noise exposure [21]. For young people, the risks to hearing are more likely to result from leisure noise from clubs and rock concerts, and recently, there has been concern over sound levels from personal listening devices.…”

Health Effects of Noise Exposure in Children

Environmental noise exposure, such as road traffic noise and aircraft noise, is associated with a range of health outcomes in children. Children demonstrate annoyance responses to noise, and noise is also related to lower wellbeing and stress responses, such as increased levels of adrenaline and noradrenaline. Noise does not cause more serious mental health problems, but there is growing evidence for an association with increased hyperactivity symptoms. Studies also suggest that noise might cause changes in cardiovascular functioning, and there is some limited evidence for an effect on low birth weight. There is robust evidence for an effect of school noise exposure on children's cognitive skills such as reading and memory, as well as on standardised academic test scores. Environmental noise does not usually reach levels that are likely to affect children's hearing; however, increasing use of personal electronic devices may leave some children exposed to harmful levels of noise.
