Abstract
This study was designed to determine if there was a significant relationship among audiometric data, otoacoustic emissions, and cardiovascular fitness levels within a group of noise exposed individuals such as musicians versus a control group of non-musicians. Sixty-six volunteer participants were recruited from Miami University. Data was analyzed using Multivariate analyses to contrast and compare research variables as well as Pearson’s correlation coefficient and linear regression analyses to assess significance between and within groups. No difference in otoacoustic emissions, pure-tones or fitness level was found within and between the subject groups. One significant association was found within the group of musicians concerning the signal to noise ratios of the otoacoustic emissions. Significance was attributed to the absolute signal to noise ratio amplitudes between frequencies at 2000 and 4000 Hz within the musician subject group and the better results of the horn players in comparison to percussionists.
