Music students are not being taught that music is a sound source capable of harming hearing. Ensemble directors of public school and college bands, orchestras, and choirs, are unaware and unprepared to recognize and manage risk from excessive sound exposures. Schools of music and conservatories around the world, and the organizations that accredit them, need to embrace the idea that schools of music are best suited to facilitate change, conduct research, create and impart knowledge, institute competency, and most importantly, cultivate a culture of responsibility and accountability throughout the music discipline. By drawing attention to actions pursued at and through the College of Music at the University of North Texas, the purpose of this paper is to encourage change and to assist others in efforts to reach the best conditions for preventing irreversible hearing disorders associated with music.
音乐专业的学生并没有被教导音乐是一种能够损害听力的声源。公立学校和学院乐队、管弦乐队和合唱团的合奏指挥人员对此一无所知，也没有准备好识别和管理过度声音暴露的风险。世界各地的音乐学院和音乐学院，以及为它们提供认证的组织，需要接受这样一种观点，即音乐学院最适合促进变革、开展研究、创造和传授知识、制定能力标准，而最重要的是，在整个音乐学科中培养一种责任和问责制的文化。通过关注北德克萨斯大学音乐学院的行动和通过音乐学院的行动，本文旨在鼓励变革，并帮助他人努力达到最佳条件，以预防与音乐相关的不可逆转的听力障碍。
