Abstract

Musicians are at risk of developing music-induced hearing loss (MIHL) and also exhibit increased prevalence of depression, anxiety, and stress. However, the relationship between hearing loss and mental health issues in musicians has not yet been explored. This study conducted a cross-sectional analysis of 32 professional and 35 amateur musicians recruited from local bands and orchestras. KUDUwave software was used to obtain their overall hearing thresholds for both ears over three frequency ranges: 0.5 to 4, 6 to 8, and 9 to 16 kHz. Participants also completed a demographic questionnaire that contained questions related to musical exposure, type of music exposed, years of practice, and so on, and the DASS-21 questionnaire, which assesses the presence of depression, anxiety, and stress symptoms. Professional musicians had significantly greater music exposure compared with amateur musicians, but their hearing thresholds were not significantly different from amateur musicians in 0.5–4, 6–8, or 9–16 kHz frequency ranges. Professional musicians experienced greater symptoms of anxiety compared with amateur musicians, and this occurred independently of their hearing status. Further longitudinal studies are required to explore the causative factors resulting in increased mental health issues in professional musicians and what potential interventions may be implemented to address anxious symptomology in this population.

业余和专业音乐家的听力损失和心理健康问题

音乐家有患音乐诱发性听力损失(MIHL)的风险，而且抑郁、焦虑和压力的患病率也在增加。然而，音乐家的听力损失和心理健康问题之间的关系尚未被探索。本研究对32名专业音乐家和35名来自当地乐队和管弦乐队的业余音乐家进行了横断面分析。使用KUDUwave软件获得两耳在三个频率范围内的总体听力阈值:0.5至4,6至8,9至16 kHz。参与者还完成了一份人口调查问卷，其中包含与音乐接触、音乐接触类型、练习年限等相关的问题，以及评估抑郁、焦虑和压力症状的DASS-21问卷。专业音乐家的音乐接触量显著高于业余音乐家，但在0.5 ~ 4 kHz、6 ~ 8 kHz和9 ~ 16 kHz频率范围内，其听力阈值与业余音乐家差异不显著。与业余音乐家相比，专业音乐家经历了更多的焦虑症状，而这与他们的听力状况无关。需要进一步的纵向研究来探索导致专业音乐家心理健康问题增加的致病因素，以及可以实施哪些潜在的干预措施来解决这一人群的焦虑症状。

期刊介绍： Psychology of Music and SEMPRE provide an international forum for researchers working in the fields of psychology of music and music education, to encourage the exchange of ideas and to disseminate research findings. Psychology of Music publishes peer-reviewed papers directed at increasing the scientific understanding of any psychological aspect of music. These include studies on listening, performing, creating, memorising, analysing, describing, learning, and teaching, as well as applied social, developmental, attitudinal and therapeutic studies. Special emphasis is placed on studies carried out in naturalistic settings, especially those which address the interface between music psychology and music education.
