are overwhelmingly open to informing and to educating themselves about sound
intensity levels generated during their own EBIAs.
In addition, conductors are open to informing and to educating their students
about hearing health during their EBIAs. However, the majority of conductors fall short
when they indicate they are only personally informing and personally educating their
students about sound intensity levels "occasionally, but not routinely." Again this
confirms that conductors rank informing and educating students higher than they rank
their personal commitment to inform and to educate their students themselves.
Nevertheless, a positive attitude toward the role of someone to inform and to educate
students about sound intensity levels is present because just a small portion of
conductors indicated students should "never" be informed or be educated.
A definitive number of conductors indicate they are open to changing their
teaching practices if sounds prove to exceed intensity levels known to be harmful to
human hearing and an even greater number indicate they are open to learning
alternative teaching practices that prevent sounds from exceeding intensity levels that
are harmful to human hearing. Overall, conductors display a positive attitude toward
learning and sharing knowledge of sound intensity levels generated during EBIAs.
Since a majority of conductors are open to "learn alternative teaching practices"
and "change current teaching practices," it is noteworthy that only about half of
surveyed conductors, as mentioned above, are currently informing and even less are
currently educating their students about sound intensity levels generated during their
EBIAs. While not distinctly within the scope of the study, the reason conductors have a
strong openness to change but only an "occasional" sense of personal responsibility, or48
