New Guidance to Protect the Hearing of Workers in Music Industry

Posted almost 9 years ago by Barbara Burgel

From NIOSH eNews, July 2015

"NIOSH has published new guidance to help musicians and those who work in the music industry protect their hearing. Professional musicians, such as orchestra, band members, music teachers, as well as others in the music industry, such as disc jockeys, audio engineers, and crew members, are all at risk for developing permanent hearing loss, ringing in the ears, and other hearing disorders from prolonged exposure to loud music.
