Abstract(s)
Previous studies have been shown that musicians are exposed to high sound levels in the course of rehearsals and performances (Rodrigues et al .,2014), which can be the source of hearing damages (Jansen et al ., 2009). However, other musical groups can also be exposed to high sound levels, as is the case of the garage rock bands musicians. This particular group of musicians, due to the style of the music played, can be exposed to dangerous sound levels. This situation can be even worse if considered the conditions of the rooms where the rehearsals and performances are being done. In fact, in most of cases, rock musicians play in rooms with small dimensions and with poor acoustic conditions. Despite the importance of this issue, few studies analyzed this issue, particularly integrating two important issues, the sound exposure and to hearing damages.
