Description
Summary:Objectives: This study examined the association between pure tone hearing sensitivity and music listening behaviors among traditional college-aged students and sought to determine factors that mediate hearing sensitivity, including health and fitness levels, gender, and personal listening device (PLD) use. Methods: A convenience sample of college students (N = 182; 133 females, 49 males, mean age = 19.8 ± 1.4 year, average PLD use = 1.52 ± 7.1 hours•day−1) completed hearing assessments, music listening behavior questionnaires, and health and fitness tests. Results: Most students listened to music at safe intensity levels (
