Previous studies demonstrate that many high school band directors show signs of
noise-induced hearing loss. The present study measured the noise doses of high school band
directors. Five high school band directors located in northeast Illinois wore an Etymotic
Research ER-200D noise dosimeter throughout a normal day of teaching, including
extracurricular ensembles. This study explored how the overall noise dose of the director was
influenced by the acoustical environment, class schedule, teaching style, musicians, and the
music literature selected. These doses were compared to the National Institute for
Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) guidelines for noise exposure in industry. The
noise doses of all five directors were found to surpass NIOSH guidelines. The extent to
which they exceeded the guidelines varied greatly (3.4x, 7.3x, 11x, 14x, 20x), as did the
variables that influence noise dose. Hearing conservation recommendations and strategies are
