“…The frequencies generated by the instruments played is a key factor when assessing the risk of developing HL for PMs [ 27 ]; therefore, the musical genre may affect the characteristics of sounds PMs are exposed during practice [ 27 ]. Previous studies have shown that PR PMs are exposed to sounds of higher intensity compared to CL PMs, both during rehearsals and live performance [ 31 ], with an average exposure of 103 dB in PR versus 94 dB in CL PMs [ 27 ]; additionally, studies have described that PR PMs often play music without ear protection more commonly than CL PMs [ 28 , 29 ].…”

“…Music, at the both entertainment and professional level, can induce HL and other audiological symptoms such as tinnitus, hyperacusis, and diplacusis [ 9 , 26 ]; professional musicians (PMs) are exposed to high intensity sounds for a prolonged time during the day [ 27 ]. Many studies have focused on the prevalence of HL among PMs and the degree of hearing loss among them [ 28 , 29 , 30 ]; however, the extent to which the musical genre affects the risk of developing hearing loss in PM remains unclear [ 30 , 31 ]. Different music genres such as Pop/Rock (PR) or classical (CL) music entail different levels of noise exposure, which in turn depend on several factors including the type and number of instruments that are played at the same time and the intensity of the sound that is generated [ 27 , 28 , 29 , 30 , 31 ].…”

Professional musicians (PMs) are at high risk of developing hearing loss (HL) and other audiological symptoms such as tinnitus, hyperacusis, and diplacusis. The aim of this systematic review is to (A) assess the risk of developing HL and audiological symptoms in PMs and (B) evaluate if different music genres (Pop/Rock Music—PR; Classical Music—CL) expose PMs to different levels of risk of developing such conditions. Forty-one articles including 4618 PMs were included in the study. HL was found in 38.6% PMs; prevalence was significantly higher among PR (63.5%) than CL (32.8%) PMs; HL mainly affected the high frequencies in the 3000-6000 Hz range and was symmetric in 68% PR PMs and in 44.5% CL PMs. Tinnitus was the most common audiological symptom, followed by hyperacusis and diplacusis. Tinnitus was almost equally distributed between PR and CL PMs; diplacusis was more common in CL than in PR PMs, while prevalence of hyperacusis was higher among PR PMs. Our review showed that PR musicians have a higher risk of developing HL compared to CL PMs; exposure to sounds of high frequency and intensity and absence of ear protection may justify these results. Difference in HL symmetry could be explained by the type of instruments used and consequent single-sided exposure.

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.

Σκοπός της συγκεκριμένης μελέτης είναι να διερευνηθεί ο βαθμός ενημέρωσης των επαγγελματιών της μουσικής σχετικά με θέματα ακοής, να καταγραφεί η συμπτωματολογία και οι δυσκολίες που συναντούν στο επάγγελμά τους και να αξιολογηθεί η κατάσταση της ακοής τους τόσο με τις γνωστές ακοολογικές δοκιμασίες, όσο και με πληθώρα άλλων που περιγράφονται στη βιβλιογραφία σε κλινικό και ερευνητικό επίπεδο, ώστε να σχηματιστεί ένα λεπτομερέστατο ακοολογικό προφίλ των επαγγελματιών. Αρκετοί από τους επαγγελματίες παραπονούνται ότι δυσκολεύονται στην εργασία τους εξαιτίας της ακοής τους, παρόλο που αυτό δεν διαπιστώνεται με την κλασική ακοομετρία. Δεν υπάρχει μέχρι στιγμής σαφής τρόπος διάγνωσης της λειτουργικής επίπτωσης των διαταραχών ακοής σε επαγγελματίες μουσικούς. Από το παραπάνω προκύπτει η ανάγκη για τη δημιουργία αλληλουχίας και αξιολόγησης ακοολογικών δοκιμασιών, καθώς και η ποσοτικοποίηση της δυσκολίας που αντιμετωπίζουν στην απόδοση στην εργασία τους και την καθημερινότητά τους. Στο σημείο αυτό κρίνεται απαραίτητη η δημιουργία ενός ειδικού, αξιόπιστου και εγκύρου εργαλείου, ενός ερωτηματολογίου, ειδικού για τη συγκεκριμένη ομάδα. Απ’ όσο γνωρίζουμε δεν υπάρχει αντίστοιχο ερωτηματολόγιο καταγεγραμμένο στη βιβλιογραφία παγκοσμίως.Πρόκειται για την πρώτη εκτεταμένη μελέτη η οποία έχει διεξαχθεί στην Ελλάδα, και αποτελεί μια λεπτομερή καταγραφή τόσο των ποιοτικών όσο και ποσοτικών παραμέτρων που σχετίζονται με την ακοή των επαγγελματιών της μουσικής.

Transient evoked otoacoustic emissions in rock musicians

Abstract: Our results suggest an incipient hearing loss at 6 kHz in rock musicians. Loss of TEOAE SNR in the 4 kHz half-octave frequency band was observed, but it was related to higher mean 3-6 kHz hearing thresholds and age. A large proportion of rock musicians have permanent tinnitus.
