In 2005, Mats Hagberg et al carried out a study with the aim of determining the incidence of tinnitus, impaired hearing and musculoskeletal disorders among musicians. For the purpose of this research project, the incidence of tinnitus and impaired hearing found in the 2005 study was interesting. Hagberg et al’s study examined 655 musicians; the mean age for the men examined was 35, and the women, 34. The main result from the study was that a high amount of practicing hours was a risk factor for the incidence of hearing problems.
