Summary

It has been stated that intense noise may affect the peripheral vestibular system and consequently cause problems in balance mechanisms. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of exposure to chronic noise on vestibular functions and balance in Edirne Band musicians.

Twenty-two individuals working in the Edirne Band for at least 5 years and over 18 years of age and a control group of 22 individuals working at Trakya University and with similar sociodemographic characteristics to the experimental group were included. The socio-demographic questionnaire was used to inquire about the demographic characteristics of individuals and alcohol-cigarette use, the Activity-Specific Balance Confidence Scale to assess how they felt about the balance, and the Dizziness Handicap Inventory to determine the quality of life-related to dizziness. A 3D ultrasonic system was used to assess the static and dynamic balance of the individuals.
