Conference Paper

Authors: Chasin, Marshall

AES Conference: 2018 AES International Conference on Music Induced Hearing Disorders · Paper P-3 · June 2018

Abstract

Music exposure can pose a problem, especially with the advent of “portable” music. Despite the complexity of the human auditory system, it does not know the difference between industrial noise and music. Indeed, many of the factors can equally affect music exposure as well as industrial exposure. This talk is an overview of those factors affecting hearing for musicians as well as environmental strategies and hearing protection to minimize the potential damaging effects of music.
