The importance of hearing acuity for musicians cannot be overstated. Unfortunately, the levels of exposure during practice, rehearsal and performance are capable of damaging the hearing mechanism. The extended high frequency hearing of 66 subjects, aged 18-27 years was measured. Subjects were assigned to the musician group (n=33) or the nonmusician group (n=33). Comparisons between the extended high frequency thresholds (EHF), conventional pure tone thresholds and VO2 max measurements between musicians and nonmusicians were made. Though expected, due to the differing amounts of amounts of noise exposures between groups, no statistically significant differences were found. However, a slight trend in the EHF was noted with musicians thresholds improving as frequency increased. The results illustrated slightly better thresholds among the musicians than nonmusicians in the EHF, though not statistically significant.
