Material and Method: The hearing sensitivity of young adults was determined by using pure tone audiometry followed by CSOAEвЂ™s and distortion product otoacoustic emissions (DPOAE) before listening to music for one hour individually. Quantitative research was used to determine the relationship between the measurable variables to predict occurrence. Setting and Design: The research was conducted using a quantitative research design with a quasi-experimental repeated within the subject design to compare the CSOAE in subjects with different hair and eyes colour with TES after short-term noise exposure. Aim: The study aimed to determine the relationship between the contralateral suppression of otoacoustic emissions (CSOAE) in individuals with brown eyes and hair, and blue eyes and blond hair, and temporary emission shift (TES) after short-term noise exposure. The amount of melanin in the inner ear is said to modulate the endocochlear potential and provide an otoprotective effect. General pigmentation in turn, suspected to be related to the amount of pigmentation in the inner ear. It is postulated that melanin in the inner ear is related to individualвЂ™s susceptibility to noise induced hearing loss (NIHL). Genetics and environmental factors frequently influence individualвЂ™s susceptibility to hearing loss.
