“…The overall effect size of the DPOAEs was 0.089 (CI −0.012 to 0.190; p 0.080, I 2 0%), indicating no significant amplitude change within 24 h after music exposure. In sum, the short-term result after music exposure did not show any meaningful changes for PTA thresholds or DPOAE amplitudes To identify the long-term hearing changes after music exposure [9,21,22,24,26,30,31,33,34], the pooled studies for analysis are shown in Figures 4 and 5 for PTA and DPOAE, respectively, in the same frequencies along with the short-term hearing changes. Similar to PTA outputs, the amplitude of DPOAEs showed the largest effect size also at 4 kHz (0.124, CI −0.047 to 0.296; p 0.155) (see Figure 3).…”

“…The authors confirmed that four [9,[20][21][22] of the selected studies had "good" quality (scored 7-9). The remaining studies were evaluated as having "fair" quality (score 4-6) [20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34] except for one study with a score of 3, evaluated as having "poor" quality [35]. Thus, 16 articles were included for systematic review and meta-analysis in this study.…”

“…Sixteen high-quality studies that reported hearing thresholds of PTA (4, 6, and 8 kHz testing frequencies) and amplitudes of the DPOAEs (2, 4, and 6 center frequencies) were pooled for analysis. As mentioned earlier, the studies were divided into two groups to see short-term hearing changes (pre/post-exposure with 24 hours; n = 7) [20,23,25,[27][28][29]32] and long-term hearing changes (PLDs users/non-users; n = 9) [9,21,22,24,26,30,31,33,34]. For short-term hearing changes within 24 h after music exposure [20,23,25,[27][28][29]32], the studies pooled for analysis showed PTA 4, 6, and 8 kHz changes at pre-and post-music exposure (see Figure 2).…”

The present study explores the scientific evidence on whether music exposure temporarily or permanently affects hearing sensitivity in young adults. Six electronic databases were searched using related keywords for the four categories of personal listening devices, listening habits, hearing outcomes, and age. The Hedges’ g and its 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were estimated. A Higgins I2 was also used to check for heterogeneity. To test for publication bias, funnel plots were drawn using Egger’s regression. Based on the inclusion criteria, 16 studies were divided into two groups to identify short-term hearing changes (n = 7) and long-term hearing changes (n = 9). In the short term, there was no significant immediate change in the thresholds or amplitudes after the music exposure, although pure-tone thresholds (PTAs) and distortion product otoacoustic emissions (DPOAEs) did show the highest effect size (−0.344, CI −0.727 to 0.038) and (0.124, CI −0.047 to 0.296) at 4 kHz. On the other hand, for long-term hearing changes, the PTA provided the highest effect size at 6 kHz (−0.525, CI −0.897 to −0.154) and 8 kHz (–0.486, CI −0.819 to −0.152), while also implying that habitual and repeated personal listening device (PLD) usage can act on some significant hearing changes in audiological tests. We conclude that the use of a PLD produces a few temporary hearing changes at 4 kHz after its use but that the changes are then reversed. However, it is important to note heavy PLD users’ experience regarding permanent changes in their hearing thresholds at high frequencies, and the public should be educated on this issue.

“…students, in particular, were found to listen to music with PlDs in excess of safe listening levels and durations that posed a risk of hearing loss. on the other hand, regarding the health belief model, it is expected that medical students engage in behaviors to reduce danger and rather enhance protective behaviors connected with listening to music [7,8].…”

Background. currently, significant changes have occurred in the character of sound exposure, along with the properties of the group affected by it. Thus, primary care physicians have to keep in mind that a sizable group of young adults comprises groups in which the prevalence of hearing loss is increasing. Objectives. The goal of the following study was to determine the auditory ability of the students attending the Medical university in Bialystok and to analyze their risky and protective behaviors relating to music consumption. Material and methods. in total, 230 students (age: 18-26 years) completed a questionnaire about general personal information and their music-listening habits. Thereafter, pure tone audiometry at standard frequencies (0.25 kHz-8 kHz) was performed. Results. Hearing loss was more frequent in subjects who listened to music at higher volumes ('very loud' -22.2%, 'loud' -3.9%, 'not very loud' -2.1%, 'quiet' -9.1%, p = 0.046). Hearing loss was more prevalent among those students who were living in a city with more than 50,000 inhabitants before starting higher education compared to the remaining subjects (7.95% vs. 0.97%, p = 0.025). Conclusions. The study demonstrated that surprisingly few medical students suffer from hearing loss or a noise induced threshold shift. There is no correlation between risky behavior such as a lengthy daily duration of listening to music or the type of headphone used and hearing loss. Hearing screening tests connected with education are indicated in the group of young adults due to the accumulative character of hearing damage. Key words: risky and protective behaviors, listening to music, mp3, hearing loss.

ObjectiveThis study aimed to determine the knowledge of first year health sciences students at a South African university regarding hearing loss and symptoms attributable to personal listening devices and their practices concerning the use of personal listening devices.MethodThis was a cross-sectional study carried out using an anonymous self-administered questionnaire.ResultsOf 336 students, 269 (80.1 per cent) completed the questionnaire. While most participants could identify symptoms that could be caused by extensive use of personal listening devices, almost 30 per cent did not know that it could cause permanent hearing loss. Personal listening devices were used by 90.7 per cent of participants, with 77.8 per cent having used them for more than five years. Use was at a high volume in 14.9 per cent of participants and for more than 2 hours per day in 52.7 per cent.ConclusionThe findings indicate the need for an educational programme to inform students as to safe listening practices when using personal listening devices.
