520	3		_aThere are many conflicting reports about hearing loss among professional symphony orchestra musicians due to music. Foreign literature has shown prevalence rates ranging from 0 to 58 percent. Forty professional symphony orchestra musicians were surveyed and screened for hearing loss. Fifty percent of the musicians were determined to have hearing loss. Males were significantly more affected than females. Also, the musician's perceived hearing loss and his actual hearing sensitivity based on audiogram findings did not correspond. Additionally, factors such as the presence of tinnitus, length of time playing for the orchestra and type of instrument played were not able to determine whether or not the musician had hearing loss. The survey results and hearing screening test indicate that there is a need to educate the musician regarding noise, hearing protectors and the necessity to monitor their hearing.
