Rehearsal Sound Exposure and Choir Singers' Hearing: A Pilot Field Study.

Unlabelled: Exposure to high- and moderate-intensity sound is inevitable for professional singers during their working day, the majority of which is spent in rehearsal, preparing for a performance. The impact of self-produced sound exposure on singers' hearing within the rehearsal setting has not been examined.

Objectives: This original pilot field study investigates the feasibility of data collection and hypothesis testing of singers' hearing within the rehearsal environment.
