Thank you.

Epidemiological studies on the global prevalence of hearing disorders are difficult to discuss without getting into the details of population subsets like occupation and age and gender.

But if we look very grossly at results from systematic reviews, and I've included specifically a twenty twenty-five review in Frontiers in Public Health, we'll see that the music exposed population reports about three times more tinnitus, and they experience hyperacusis more than twice compared to the general population.

Hearing loss is really difficult to assess because results from studies vary so greatly.

This particular review stated that hearing loss prevalence in musicians cannot, and you'll see here on the quote, cannot be, uh, as-assessed from the available data.

Now, keep in mind that a lot of these studies rely on participants' self-report.

A study led by Heather Malyuk and Mark Fagelson investigated survey results of over a thousand music industry professionals who signed up for tele-audiology hearing consultations with music audiologists.

Yeah.
