Student musicians are at increased risk for excessive sound exposures in comparison to their collegiate peers. Their dedication to their studies through long hours of rehearsal and performances increase their risk of Music Induced Hearing Disorders (MIHDs). The repercussions of MIHDs can negatively impact their physical, emotional, social, and occupational well-being. A partnership between the Michigan Medicine Audiology Department and the University of Michigan School of Music, Theatre, and Dance (SMTD) was developed to establish a prevention focused program for student musicians. This is facilitated through the SMTD’s Wellness Program with a concentration in education and prevention against MIHDs to encourage students to take proactive measures for their hearing health. Screening, outreach, and creative action taken during the COVID pandemic to support hearing conservation in this group will be discussed.
