Abstract(s)

It is broadly recognized that professional musicians are at risk of developing ear pathologies due to the exposition to loud music in the course of rehearsals and performances (MacDonald et al ., 2008; O’Brien et al ., 2008; Jansen et al ., 2009). However, while much has been published regarding the sound exposure of professional musicians, particularly of orchestral musicians, little is known of the sound exposure of the music students. In fact, it is important to recognize that the musicians’ noise exposure may start very early, in the course of their training as students, in the school classrooms and at homes.
