Noise Exposure in Music and Entertainment Sector. Possibilities for Control
Journal Title: Romanian Journal of Acoustics and Vibration - Year 2011, Vol 8, Issue 1
Abstract
In order to determine potential causes for professional diseases and accidents is frequently used in specialized analysis regarding safety and health at work the term so called ,,risk factor”. The safety and health at work specialists are oriented to deepen studies of the risk factors in order to establish prevention measures, starting with potential risks of professional diseases and accidents. One of the risk factors permanently present in souding ambiance corporate in the musical and entertainment sector is exposure to noise. Specific to music and entertainment industry is noise with high levels and special effects with extreme intesities. Higher noise levels and sound frequency can damage hearing and that could be reversible for short periods of exposure and ireversible when noise exposure increases for long periods and all that finally can cause hearing loss. Noise exposure can induce hearing deficiencies such as hiperacusia and diplacusia. Noise exposure with high levels, arised in short periods, in places like discoteques, clubs, pubs or when music is produced by a band orchestra may induce temporarly hearing loss. Noise exposure control in music and entertainment sector is a requirement of noise Directive 10/2003/CE but also is a exigency and an obligation arrised from concerning for developing of a health and safety for the workers environment even this area is characterized by an enjoyable sound ambiance for entertainment consumers.
