Résumé

Since the enforcement of the UK Control of Noise at Work Regulations in 2006 and over the last five years, the Acoustics Group of London South Bank University has been collaborating with the musicians and management of the Royal Academy of Music (RAM). The aim of the RAM noise project was to protect musicians from excessive sound exposure and the risk of noise-induced hearing loss and has been, from the very start, focused on the education of young and professional musicians. A series of seminars have been prepared for the musicians, explaining basic acoustic principles in more music related terms. Presentations are also enhanced by live musical demonstrations. This paper presents the approach taken in educating musicians in acoustics and audiology to help them understand the dangers and risks of excessive sound exposure and protect themselves from further/future hearing damage. The evolution of educational techniques during the RAM project, as a result of successes and failures, and their application on the professional musicians of the London Philharmonic Orchestra, is also discussed.
