Facing the music: Helping classical musicians comply with the Control of Noise at Work Regulations

Research output: Contribution to conference › Paper › peer-review

Abstract

© 2016, German Acoustical Society (DEGA). All rights reserved. Since the implementation and enforcement of the European Union Physical Agents Directive (Noise) the Acoustics Group has collaborated with the Royal Academy of Music. Over the past nine years more than 2600 students have had their hearing tested and all instrument groups have undergone dosimetry to establish typical sound dose over a working day. The paper will focus upon the hearing acuity of the musicians and solutions to help the classical music students comply with the regulations. The challenge was to allow these highly talented artists to practice, rehearse, and perform safely. Our job as acousticians is to ensure that they are able to.
