Introduction Several studies document the occurrence of hearing problems in musicians due to the constant exposure of loud sounds during activities such as group rehearsals, music performances and individual practices. Most of them reveal that many musicians are unaware of the risks faced in making music and are resistant to preventive actions. However, it seems reasonable to reverse this context based on the development of preventive actions during the graduation time of this public.

Objectives To suggest a protocol of educational actions regarding hearing health with professors from higher education institutions in music.

Methods The elaboration of the protocol of educational actions in hearing health was based on active learning and problematizing methodologies, to happen through activities developed in the academic environment.

Results The protocol was developed to be applied in six modules, with of 1 h 30 min each, and contemplates the following topics (1) notions of anatomy-physiology of hearing, effects of high sound intensity, control measures and means of prevention of hearing loss; (2) acoustic characteristics of the work environment and workload in practical music classes and/or supervising internships (3) workshops towards the use of sound pressure level measurement apps and hearing screening apps; (4) composition and recording of jingles and podcasts related to the risks of exposure to high intensity music to play for music students.

Conclusion The development of the activities planned in the protocol can lead professors to incorporate the concepts and attitudes related to hearing health, to act as promotion agents to positively influence new generations of musicians with regard to that matter. The results must be continuously evaluated to identify the weaknesses and potential of the protocol.
