It is well recognized that professional musicians are at risk of hearing damage due to the exposure to high sound pressure levels during music playing. However, it is important to recognize that the musicians' exposure may start early in the course of their training as students in the classroom and at home. Studies regarding sound exposure of music students and their hearing disorders are scarce and do not take into account important influencing variables.

Objectives: An investigation of the hearing status of musicians of professional symphony orchestras. Main questions are: (1) Should musicians be treated as a special group with regard to hearing, noise, and noise related hearing problems (2) Do patterns of hearing damage differ for different instrument types (3) Do OAE have an added value in the diagnosis of noise induced hearing loss (NIHL) in musicians.
Methods: 241 professional musicians, aged between 23-64 participated.
Modified binaural pitch-matching test for the assessment of diplacusis.

Diplacusis is defined as the phenomenon of hearing the same tone at different pitches in the two ears. Although binaural pitch-matching using method-of-adjustment has been employed in most studies, it is sometimes hard for subjects with impaired hearing to judge 'equal pitch' as one frequency. To resolve this problem.

The system of analyzing the periodicity of spike sequence in axons of neurons innervating the internal auditory hair cells excited by the running wave is less precise, but it provides the estimation of the frequency of any periodical sounds. Exact measurement of the frequency of the sinusoidal sound occurs from the spikes in axons of neurones innervating the internal hair cells of the auditory reception field, which uses the entire train of waves excited by this sound in the critical layer of the waveguide of the internal ear cochlea, which corresponds to the frequency of the sound.

A narrow region characterized by rapid threshold adaptation was also mapped between approximately 2 590 and 2 690 Hz. In the procedure used to localize the internally generated tones, which were interacting with the externally presented single tones to produce beats, the listener adjusted the frequency of a signal presented to this right ear so that the beat rate heard there was the same as a criterion beat rate produced by two external tones in his left ear.
