- Adolescents in Western society often expose themselves to high levels of sound at gyms, rock concerts, discotheques etc. Since these behaviours are as threatening to young peoples’ health as more traditional risk behaviours, our aim in the present study was to analyse the relationship between self-exposure to noise, risk behaviours and risk judgements among 310 Swedish adolescents aged 15-20 (167 men/143 women). Adolescents’ behaviour in different traditional risk situations correlated with behaviour in noisy environments, whilst judgements about traditional risks correlated with judgements regarding noise exposure. It is an interesting finding that, although young women judge risk situations as generally more dangerous than young men, they nevertheless behave in the same way. We suggest that this difference is a social and cultural based phenomenon which underscores the importance of adopting a gender perspective in the analysis of risk factors. Adolescents reporting permanent tinnitus judged loud music as more risky than adolescents with no symptoms and they did not listen to loud music as often as those with occasional tinnitus. Research on hearing prevention for young people needs to acknowledge and make use of theories on risk behaviour, especially due to the existence of a relationship between adolescents’ risk-taking in noisy environments and other types of risk-taking. Similarly, theories on risk behaviour should acknowledge noise as a risk factor.

Licentiatavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Adolescents in Western society often expose themselves to high levels of sound at gyms, rock concerts, discotheques etc. These behaviours are as threatening to young peoples’ health as more traditional risk behaviours. Testing boundaries and risk-taking are fundamental aspects of young people’s lives and the processes of developing their identities. There is, however, a need to balance reasonable risk-taking and risks that can damage health. The aim of study 1 was to analyse the relationship between self-exposure to noise, risk behaviours and risk judgements among 310 Swedish adolescents aged 15-20 (167 men/143 women). Adolescents’ behaviour in different traditional risk situations correlated with behaviour in noisy environments and judgements about traditional risks correlated with judgement regarding noise exposure. Another finding was that young women judge risk situations as generally more dangerous than young men, although they behave in the same way as the men. We suggest that this difference is a social- and culture based phenomenon which underlines the importance of adopting a gender perspective in the analysis of risk factors. Adolescents reporting permanent tinnitus judged loud music as more risky than adolescents with no symptoms and they did not listen to loud music as often as those with occasional tinnitus. The aims of study 2 were to illuminate the complexity of risk behaviour, the meaning and purpose of adolescent risk-taking in both a traditional sense (e.g. smoking and drug use) and in noisy environments (e.g. discotheques and rock concerts), in relationship to norms and gender roles in contemporary society. In total, 16 adolescents (8 men/8 women, aged 16-19) were interview wed individually and in focus groups. The interviewees’ responses revealed the social reproduction of gender and class. A main theme of the phenomena for both genders emerged: Social identity and Existential identity of risk taking. The descriptive sub themes, however, which together comprised the main themes, were rather diverse for men and women. The incorporation of social and existential theories on gender as basic factors in the analysis of attitudes towards risk-taking behaviours is considered to be of utmost importance. Likewise, research on hearing prevention for young people needs to acknowledge and make use of theories on risk behaviour and similarly, the theories on risk behaviour should acknowledge noise as a risk factor.

Tidskriftsartikel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The purpose of the present study was to investigate possible associations between college students' attitudes, risk-taking behaviour related to noisy activities, and hearing problems such as threshold shifts or self-experienced hearing symptoms. The sample included 258 students aged between 17 and 21 enrolled at the University of Pennsylvania, USA. A questionnaire measuring attitudes towards noise, use of hearing protection, and self-reported hearing symptoms was distributed among the students. After completing the questionnaire a hearing screening, including pure-tone audiometry and tympanometry, was conducted. The result revealed that 26% had thresholds poorer than the screening level of 20 dBHL. Attitudes were significantly related to self-experienced hearing symptoms, but not to threshold shifts. Attitudes and noise sensitivity was, significantly related to use of hearing protection. Hearing protection use was found in activities such as using firearms, mowing lawns, and when using noisy tools but was less reported for concerts and discotheques. It can be concluded that the young adults in this study expose themselves to hearing risks, since the use of hearing protection is in general very low. © 2009 Informa UK Ltd All rights reserved.
