- W71979559 abstract "The purpose of this study was to determine the sound exposure levels of members of university jazz bands. Participants were 79 members of 5 university jazz bands across the Southeastern United States. Results indicated mean dose for participants across both days was 183%. Seventy-five percent of participants (n = 59) experienced a sound dose greater than 100% on day one and 58% (n = 46) of participants experienced a sound dose greater than 100% on day two. Data from this study suggest that the majority of members of jazz bands at the university level experienced sound overexposure while participating in typical jazz band rehearsals. As of 2010, over 475 university jazz programs were in existence worldwide and nearly 50% of those were in the United States (Jazz Times, 2010). Despite the existence of jazz bands at universities in the U. S. for more than 60 years, little is known about the intensity of sound levels jazz bands produce and whether ensemble members, may be at for noise-induced hearing loss. Noise-induced hearing loss is a change in normal auditory function that occurs as a consequence of exposure to intense sound levels across an extended period of time (Yost, 2000). In an effort to protect the hearing of industrial workers, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) have developed criteria designed to limit sound exposure. OSHA safety criteria state that a person should experience no more than 90 decibels averaged over eight hours and NIOSH safety criteria state that a person should experience no more than 85 decibels averaged over eight hours. Both are considered a 100% daily dose allowance by their respective agencies. OSHA's Hearing Conservation Amendment specifically includes the idea of acceptable risk; i.e., that 25% of the industrial workforce experiencing NIHL is an acceptable risk (Sriwattanatamma & Breysse, 2000). Because NIOSH criteria are more rigorous than those of OSHA, the NIOSH criteria are likely to better protect the hearing of musicians. Both OSHA and NIOSH criteria for 100% sound exposure are shown in Table 1 . For this reason, the NIOSH criteria will be used for comparison in the present study. Research studies designed to determine hearing acuity in musicians have produced equally conflicting results. Although Royster, Royster, and Killion (1991) and Obeling and Poulsen (1999) found that the musicians had either normal or better than normal hearing, they also found that musicians had minimal hearing losses at specific frequencies, which may indicate the beginnings of NIHL. Axelsson and Lindgren (1981), Ostri, Eller, Dahlin, and Skylv (1989), and Axelsson, Eliasson, and Israelsson (1995) found that a little more than 50% of the musicians tested had hearing losses. Zeigler (1997) found that musicians experienced tinnitus at a greater rate than nonmusicians, and Kahari, Zachau, Eklof, Sandsjo, and Moller (2003) found that 74% of musicians tested possessed at least one of four hearing disorders studied. Clearly, some musicians are at for developing NIHL. Several sound-level studies found that musicians experienced sound levels that exceeded OSHA and NIOSH standards and because of that exposure they may be at for NIHL (Camp & Hortsman, 1992; Early & Hortsman, 1996; Royster, et al., 1991). All researchers reported average sound levels greater than 100% as compared to the OSHA criteria. In addition, Sabesky and Korczynski (1995) reported average sound levels greater than 100%. as compared to the NIOSH criteria. Walter (2009) determined that 52% of wind band musicians measured during rehearsal experienced excessive sound exposure for at least one rehearsal during a typical week. Laitinen, Toppila, Olkinuora and Kuisma (2003) also reported similar findings - that Finnish National Opera members were exposed to excessive levels of sound during group rehearsals. …" @default.
