Abstract

Background: This paper presents the results of an interdisciplinary study at the Universidad de la República (Uruguay), in which hearing loss is assessed in a group of academic musicians, including lyric singers, choristers, and orchestral musicians.

Methods: Audiometric records from 137 academic musicians were analyzed. The Average Hearing Loss (PAM) methodology, based on Lafon and Duclos combined with the ISO 1999:2013 Standard, was used to convert all the registers to the hearing loss at the age of 35, which were then organized into a permanence curve and compared with reference curves from the ISO 1999:2013 Standard.

Results and conclusion: The results presented here are estimated to represent more than 27 % of the total population of adult academic musicians nationwide. The findings suggest that academic musicians in Uruguay are at a higher risk of noise-induced hearing loss than the general population in the ISO 1999:2013 Standard.

乌拉圭学术音乐家听觉测量数据库。

背景：本文介绍了乌拉圭República大学的一项跨学科研究的结果，该研究评估了一组学术音乐家的听力损失，包括抒情歌手、合唱团和管弦乐音乐家。方法：对137名学院派音乐家的听力测量记录进行分析。采用基于Lafon和Duclos的平均听力损失（PAM）方法，结合ISO 1999:2013标准，将所有注册表转换为35岁时的听力损失，然后将其组织成永久性曲线，并与ISO 1999:2013标准的参考曲线进行比较。结果和结论：这里给出的结果估计代表了全国成年学术音乐家总数的27%以上。研究结果表明，根据ISO 1999:2013标准，乌拉圭的学术音乐家患噪音性听力损失的风险高于普通人群。
