Music is considered a pleasant sound. However, when the exposure is continued and at high levels, it can have a negative effect on people's lives, especially musicians, professional category that is systematically exposed to it. Objective: The objective of this research was to study the auditory and non-auditory effects in young musicians of a philharmonic band. Method: The study was observational, cross-sectional of inquiry type. The survey was conducted with 22 musicians of a philharmonic band of the city of Lagarto/Sergipe. The procedures included Meatoscopy, Acoustic Immitance Measurements, Tone Audiometry, Transient Evoked Otoacustic Emission (TEOAE) and Distortion Product (DPOAE) and application of the Nuisance Questionnaire related to noise. Results: The study included 22 musicians, being 72.73% male and 27.27% female. The average age was 17.41 years old (± 3.20) and the average length of experience as a musician was 59.09 months (± 36.78). Regarding the time in the band, the average was 50.77 months (± 39.86). Most musicians believe that the rehearsal room is noisy and 72.73% classified the intensity as moderate. Among the respondents, 59.09% think that the noise in their rehearsal environment can harm the musicians. 72.73% of the musicians feel uncomfortable with the sound of an instrument, the most reported are trumpet and percussion. Most of them believe that environment noises hinder communication with others; the main complaints were intolerance to intense sounds (59.09%) and tinnitus (36.36%). All subjects presented auditory thresholds within normal patterns. However, in the right ear, it was observed 5 notches (22.72%) and 10 in the left (45.44%). In general, TEOAE and DPOAE were present, but, 2 musicians (9.09%) had absence of TEOAE in the right ear in at least one of the frequency bands and in the left, that fact occurred in 4 musicians (18.18%). In the DPOAE, it was found out an absence of emissions in 6 musicians (27.27%), in, at least, one frequency, in both ears. Conclusion: Despite the young sample and normal auditory thresholds, we observed significant hearing complaints and some changes in otoacoustic emissions tests, which demonstrate the importance of research with musicians in this age group
