Purpose: The aim of the present study was to evaluate hearing and assess the satisfaction provided by the use hearing protectors in pop-rock musicians. Background: Studies have shown evidences of the risk of pop-rock musicians to develop hearing loss and other symptoms related to amplified music, as well as to adopt preventive measurements to protect their hearing. Method: It was evaluated 24 pop-rock musicians, male gender and ages between 25 to 45 years old, with professional experience between 3 to 21 years. It was accomplished: anamnesis, audiometric evaluation, transient otoacoustic emission (TEOAE), distortion product otoacoustic emission (DPOAE) and also was applied an ear protective devices satisfaction assessment questionnaire. Results: The prevalence of noise-induced hearing loss was 20.8%. In normal audiograms, there was a notch in high-frequencies in 58.4%, in at least one ear. The responses of TEOAEs were absent in 45.8% of the musicians and DPOAEs were absent in 58.4%. Concerning to satisfaction with the ear protective devices usage, 75.0% of the musicians evaluated them above grade 7.0. Conclusions: There was a high prevalence of hearing losses as well as alterations in TEOAEs and DPOAEs responses. Therefore, it is fundamental to develop and implement hearing loss preventive programs for musicians. There was a positive tendency towards the use of the ear protective devices |
