Music students can be exposed to high sound pressure levels (SPLs) during classes, which can result in hearing damage. However, individual study can also boost their exposure. This short presentation aims to describe the SPLs to which secondary school music students are exposed during individual study, as well as the circumstances in which practice is carried out. The study involved 16 young music students, aged 12-15 yrs old. SPLs were monitored during individual study at school and at the students' homes. Measurements were performed throughout rehearsals over a 3-week period. The results show that music students are exposed to high SPLs during the individual study, with potential for it to increase, depending on the type and features of the rooms used for practice. Students were not entirely aware of the health risks related to exposure to high SPLs during individual practice, and hearing protection was never used by them. These findings denote that hearing conservation programs targeting music students should also focus on the risks to which they are exposed during individual study in different settings.
音乐专业学生在课堂上可能会接触到高强度的声压水平(SPL),这可能会导致听力损伤。然而,个人练习也会增加他们接触高强度声压水平的机会。本简短报告旨在描述中学生在个人练习期间接触到的声压水平,以及进行练习的环境。该研究涉及16名年龄在12至15岁之间的年轻音乐专业学生。在学校和学生家中进行个人练习时监测声压水平。在为期3周的排练过程中进行测量。结果表明,音乐专业学生在个人练习期间接触到高强度声压水平,根据练习所用房间的类型和特点,声压水平有可能增加。学生们并未完全意识到个人练习期间接触高强度声压水平所带来的健康风险,而且他们从未使用过听力保护措施。这些研究结果表明,针对音乐专业学生的听力保护计划也应关注他们在不同环境下个人练习时所面临的风险。
