Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the noise exposure of musicians in a symphonic orchestra to assess their risk of hearing loss, using the ISO 9612:2009 methodology.
- Musicians, especially those in brass, woodwind, and percussion, were found to encounter noise levels exceeding 85 dB (A), with percussionists experiencing peak levels up to 135 dB (C).
- The findings highlight the need for standardized guidelines across countries to better monitor and manage noise exposure for musicians, considering factors like instrument, repertoire, and position.
