Abstract
Since the introduction and enforcement of the Control of Noise at Work Regulations in 2008 continuing research has been undertaken on more than four thousand students at the Royal Academy of Music to understand their hearing acuity. Standard pure tone audiometric screening methods were employed for both entry and exit testing for the undergraduate students. Due to COVID standard audiometry was not possible, however it presented an opportunity to trial otoacoustic emission based hearing assessment. A feasibility study was undertaken in July 2021 involving 119 classical music students. The results showed very similar trends in hearing and thus provide reassurance that OAE can be used to assess the hearing of music students.
