“…In addition, several studies have demonstrated that maximum outputs of PLDs can exceed 125 dBA [8]. The preferred listening levels (PLLs) adopted by young users range from 71 to 105 dBA [5,9,10], but approximately 58% of adolescents and college students have exceeded that recommended maximum noise exposure [11], and the prevalence of increased hearing thresholds due to public music exposure via PLDs has not been overlooked [12]. Furthermore, various studies have reported an association between exposure to music at a high intensity and hearing deterioration, including temporary threshold shifts (TTS), tinnitus, hyperacusis, and recruitment, all of which eventually produce permanent hearing loss to the users [2,13,14].…”

“…Furthermore, various studies have reported an association between exposure to music at a high intensity and hearing deterioration, including temporary threshold shifts (TTS), tinnitus, hyperacusis, and recruitment, all of which eventually produce permanent hearing loss to the users [2,13,14]. In other words, such hearing deterioration seems to be temporary and quickly recovered at an early stage of music exposure; however, these temporary changes can naturally develop into a permanent hearing loss from habituated and accumulated exposure [12] and then accelerate into an age-related hearing loss [15].…”

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.

“…Jiang et al (2016) found that a large proportion of adolescents and young adults that use personal music players are at risk of noise-induced hearing loss, especially when they listen to music at volumes exceeding 65 dB for extended periods of time. In a recently published systematic review, hearing thresholds at higher frequencies (4-16 kHz) were significantly poorer in personal music player users when compared with control subjects (le Clercq et al 2016). In this way, noise-induced hearing loss is no longer limited to occupational exposure to sustained noise, but is becoming increasingly common in recreational settings.…”

Playing musical instruments can bring joy to people, but can also cause a wide variety of health issues that range from mild disorders to potentially fatal conditions. Although sports medicine is an established medical subspecialty, relatively few studies have investigated the health issues associated with musical instruments. Here we present an overview of these health issues. These include infections due to microorganisms, allergic reactions, as well as mechanical injuries from sustained high pressures within the oral, mediastinal, thoracic, and abdominal cavities. For example, wind instruments can potentially harbor thousands of pathogenic organisms. If several players share the same instrument, these instruments present potential hazards in the spread of infections. A fatal case of hypersensitivity pneumonitis in a bagpiper is particularly noteworthy. Similarly, a case of gastrointestinal anthrax in an animal-hide drummer is a reminder of this rare but highly fatal disease. Although not fatal, hearing-related disorders, neuromuscular issues, musculoskeletal problems, and contact dermatitis are also very common among instrumentalists. This review aims to illuminate these under-recognized health issues by highlighting both the common conditions and the rare but fatal cases.

RESUMO Objetivo Esta pesquisa teve como objetivo mensurar em um ambiente ruidoso o nível de pressão sonora dos estéreos pessoais de jovens do ensino médio, levantar suas queixas auditivas e extra-auditivas e seus hábitos de uso. Considerando-se ainda a preocupação com a saúde auditiva e as fontes utilizadas pelos jovens para obtenção de informações sobre o assunto. Método Trata-se de um estudo observacional, descritivo, quantitativo, de delineamento transversal, do qual participaram jovens do ensino médio. Inicialmente foi realizado o exame de emissões otoacústicas evocadas por estímulos transientes, seguido da resolução de um questionário e a mensuração do nível de pressão sonora dos reprodutores de música utilizados em situação ruidosa simulada. Resultados A partir da mensuração dos estéreos pessoais, foram encontradas as intensidades mínima, de 69 dB(A), e máxima, de 93 dB(A). Os resultados mostraram hábitos nocivos à saúde auditiva sendo realizados pelos jovens, tais como tempo de uso (horas, dias e anos) e intensidade utilizada nos estéreos pessoais, assim como sintomas que podem indicar suscetibilidade a perdas auditivas. Observou-se que os jovens, em sua maioria, afirmam preocupar-se com sua audição, no entanto não há mudança de atitude diante dessas situações. Conclusão O hábito do uso do estéreo pessoal é iniciado muito cedo dentro da população escolar e, em muitos casos, esse costume é praticado com o equipamento em intensidades elevadas, o que pode acarretar diversos prejuízos a esses alunos.
