Abstract:ObjectiveTo investigate the association between hearing function, as approached with the functional auditory capacity, and multimorbidity.Study DesignCross‐sectional study.SettingThe UK Biobank was established from 2006 to 2010 in the United Kingdom. This cross‐sectional analysis included 165,524 participants who provided baseline information on hearing function.MethodsFunctional auditory capacity was measured with a digit triplet test. Three categories were defined according to the speech reception threshold … Show more
