Abstract: The article discusses some aspects of professional training of Bachelors in the sphere of musical and computer technologies and sound engineering from the point of view of health care of the students of secondary schools and additional education institutions. The necessity to introduce training materials concerning modern sound amplifiers into the core subject programs is proved. Perception of music is viewed as a physiological and physical process. The results of the foreign and domestic medical research works are analyzed, which prove negative impact of loud sounds on the nervous system of a person. Characteristic of the sounds that influence a person is given from the point of view of their loudness and the risks for a person of being in the area with high sound pressure. The most frequent causes of hearing impairment are discussed. The problem of the influence of modern amplifiers on the organs of hearing is studied; the results of the survey among the students to find out their knowledge of hearing safety of children and young people are presented. The mechanism of the influence of the headphones on the organs of hearing is disclosed; the questions of reducing the damaging effect of the modern headphones are covered. The results of the research in the sphere of prophylaxis of hearing impairment and reducing the negative impact of the headphones on the organs of hearing of a person are touched upon in different subjects included in the educational program for Bachelors in “Pedagogical Education” – Artistic Education (Musical and Computer Technologies in Education), among them: “Information Technologies in Music”, “Digital Technologies in Playing and Singing”, “Sound Engineering”, “Acoustics”, “Psychoacoustics”, “Modern Audio and Visual Technologies”, “Multimedia Development”, “Sound Engineering in the Sphere of TV and Radio”, “The Bases of Studio Operation” and “The Bases of Musical Composition and Computer Adaptation”.
