Noise exposure of opera musicians
Bibliographic record
Abstract
A previous noise exposure survey involving the Canadian Opera Company (COC) orchestra followed several musicians over the course of two operas (Lee, Behar, Wong, and Kunov, 2005) and found that the musicians were not at risk.Since then, the COC has moved to a new building.Thus, a new study was conducted to examine whether the new venue would have an effect on noise exposure.Measurements were taken during three performances of five different operas using five dosimeters attached to music stands located throughout the orchestra pit.While the exposure levels were found to be different across operas and instrument sections, these effects were independent.In general, the exposure levels were slightly lower in the new building for all musicians with woodwinds showing a large decrease.These decreases are likely due to a larger and less enclosed orchestra pit along with fewer brass musicians playing under the pit roof.While the present study did not find evidence for a risk of hearing loss for work performed in the new venue, the musicians engage in a variety of activities outside the COC that when added to their COC work may pose a risk of noise induced hearing loss. r s u m Une prcdente tude sur l 'exposition sonore des musiciens de l 'orchestre du Canadian Opera Company (COC) avait suivi plusieurs musiciens pendant deux opras (Lee, Behar, Wong et Kunov, 2005).Elle avait conclue que les musiciens ne couraient aucun danger.Depuis, le COC a dmnag dans un nouvel immeuble.Une nouvelle tude a donc t effectue pour examiner si la nouvelle salle avait une incidence sur l 'exposition sonore des musiciens.Les donnes ont t captures pendant trois performances de cinq opras diffrents en utilisant cinq dosimtres fixs des lutrins disperss dans la fosse d 'orchestre.Il a t trouv que les niveaux d 'exposition calculs diffraient d 'un opra l 'autre et d 'un endroit l 'autre dans la fosse; ces effets restaient indpendants.En gnral, le niveau d 'exposition tait plus bas dans le nouvel immeuble pour tous les musiciens.Une diminution significative a t remarque pour les instruments vent en bois.Cette diminution est principalement attribue une fosse plus grande et plus ouverte en plus d'avoir moins de cuivres jouant sous la vote de la fosse.Mme si cette tude n 'a pas trouv d 'vidence de risque de perte auditive pour tout travail effectu dans la nouvelle salle, il est noter que les musiciens du COC jouent aussi dans d 'autres salles et que l 'ajout des ces activits en plus de leur travail au COC peut crer un risque d 'une perte auditive.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
