“…A meta analysis study which was conducted in Japan also came with similar conclusions. This study had 15 observational studies, out of which the quality scores of 9 studies showed positive associations between smoking and hearing loss [23]. In contrast to the findings of this study, no correlation was found between hearing loss and smoking in the Framingham [24] and Baltimore studies [25].…”

“…The Framingham 33 and Baltimore studies 34 didn't find any connection between hearing loss and smoking. Smoking may accelerate the age related hearing loss (presbycusis), as was demonstrated in various studies [7,9].…”

“…This relationship remained for those without a history of occupational noise exposure and in analyses which excluded those with non-age-related hearing loss [6]. Meta analysis studies which were done in Japan and Korea also came with similar evidences of a positive association between smoking and hearing loss [7,8]. The Framingham 33 and Baltimore studies 34 didn't find any connection between hearing loss and smoking.…”

Background: Tobacco smoking has been known to affect the human physiology and among the various damaging effects of tobacco, it has been linked with its effect on the sense of hearing. Aim and Objective:This study was designed with the aim of finding the relationship between smoking and hearing loss in various age groups. Materials and Methods:This study included 148 subjects among which 108 were smokers and 40 were age matched non smokers. The smoking history of all the subjects whose ages ranged from 20 to 60 years was taken in detail and their audiometric thresholds were recorded in a sound proof room by a professional audiometrist. The data was analyzed by using appropriate statistical tests. Observation and Results:Smoking was found to be significantly associated with hearing loss. Also, the hearing loss was mainly of the sensorineural type, with the mild type (26-40 dB) of hearing loss being the most common among the smokers.

Association between stress and breast cancer in women: a meta-analysis

et al. 2009

The objective of the current meta-analysis was to verify the association between stressful life events and primary breast cancer incidence in women. A total of 618 studies from 1982-2007 were found in the PubMed, LILACS, and Cochrane Library databases. Methodological quality was evaluated according to the Downs & Black criteria. Eight studies were selected (six case-controls and two cohorts). The studies were grouped in three analyses, two of which based on the categories widowhood and divorce and the other based on self-rated intensity and frequency of stressful events. Relative risks were: widowhood 1.04 (95%CI: 0.75-1.44; p = 0.800); divorce 1.03 (95%: 0.72-1.48; p = 0.850); and intensity/frequency of stress 1.73 (95%CI: 0.98-3.05; p = 0.059). We conclude that stressful life events as a whole are not associated with risk of breast cancer in women. However, it is not possible to rule out high-intensity stress as a risk factor for breast cancer.

“…Further investigations on this issue are in need. Meanwhile, smoking habit has been characterized as an independent risk factor of hearing loss 3,11,13,22) , and does-response relation was found 7) . In current study, although not significant, the adjusted relative risk of NIHL for frequent smokers comparing to non-smokers was more than three folds, which should be noticeable.…”
