Abstract: ObjectivesPrevention of hearing impairment (HI) is important because recovery of hearing is typically difficult. Epidemiological studies have examined the risk factors for HI. However, the association between hypertension and HI remains unclear. We aimed to clarify the association between hypertension and HI.DesignCross-sectional study.SettingJapanese workers in an information and communication technologies company.ParticipantsOf 24 823 employees of the same company, we recruited 13 475 participants who underw… Show more

“…Individuals with longest noise exposure duration and hypertension got the highest risk in this study, which was reported in other studies. Umesawa et al 38 in Japan found hypertension was associated with moderate hearing loss in workers. Reed et al 39 in the United States found the longitudinal relationship between hypertension and hearing loss, Lin et al 40 in the United States also found that history of hypertension was associated with a small increased risk of hearing loss.…”

“…The second model was further adjusted for lifestyle variables, including smoking, BMI, physical activity, energy intake, alcohol intake (models for DASH and hPDI indexes), loud music exposure, and a noisy workplace. And the third model was additionally adjusted for the presence of tinnitus, aspirin or ibuprofen consumption, reaction time, hypercholesterolemia, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and cancer; all these variables have been previously associated with increased risk of hearing loss (Curhan et al 2010; Sun et al 2015; Theunissen et al 2015; Kim et al 2017; Hoff et al 2018; Wattamwar et al 2018; Bauer 2018; Umesawa et al 2019).…”
