Abstract

This article presents a case study evaluating occupational noise exposure among musical conductors at a party center in Jeddah city. Using a calibrated noise dosimeter, personal exposure levels were measured during 8-hour rehearsals with 90 players over two days. Results showed noise levels significantly exceeded the NIOSH limit of 85 dBA, peaking at 91 dBA. Contributing factors included the number of musicians, instrument types, and rehearsal activities. This study highlights the critical importance of assessing noise exposure to protect the hearing health of conductors and musicians, ultimately fostering safer working environments in the music industry.
