Background This study aimed to determine the association between cardiometabolic diseases, including metabolic syndrome, hypertension, and diabetes, and the type and degree of hearing loss in noise-exposed workers. Methods A total of 237,028 workers underwent air conduction pure tone audiometry in 2015 to assess their health and diagnose cardiometabolic diseases. The study defined metabolic syndrome, hypertension, and diabetes using blood pressure, fasting blood sugar, cholesterol, and triglyceride levels. Mid-frequency hearing loss was defined as ≥ 30 dB at 2,000 Hz, whereas high-frequency hearing loss was ≥ 40 dB at 4,000 Hz. The average air conduction hearing thresholds at these frequencies were used to determine hearing loss degrees. Results The odds ratio (OR) of combined exposure to noise and night-shift work in all cardiometabolic diseases was higher than that of noise exposure alone. The risk of cardiometabolic diseases was dose-response, with higher hearing loss causing higher ORs. The ORs of hypertension compared with the normal group were 1.147 (1.098–1.198), 1.196 (1.127–1.270), and 1.212 (1.124–1.306), and those of diabetes were 1.177 (1.119–1.239), 1.234 (1.154–1.319), and 1.346 (1.241–1.459) for mild, moderate, and moderate-severe hearing loss, respectively. Conclusions Workers who are exposed to noise tend to demonstrate high risks of hearing loss and cardiometabolic diseases; thus, bio-monitoring of cardiometabolic diseases, as well as auditory observation, is necessary.

“…From 1995 to 2004, the number of people suffering from the hearing loss was significantly increased from 120 million to 275 million. 1) The World Health Organization reported that about one-third of people over the age of 65 suffer from hearing loss in 2018. 2,3) The increase in the number of hearing impairment is emerging as a social problem due to the increase in an aging society.…”

“…5,6) Recently, some studies have proposed that additional factors such as diabetes, hypertension (HTN), smoking, and decreased estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) are risks of developing a hearing impairment. 1,4,7) For a long time, questions have been raised about the relationship between hearing and kidney function. [8][9][10][11] Although cross-sectional studies have been conducted before, there are no large population-based studies because they are relatively small studies with thousands of subjects, and there are no studies on what level of kidney damage can exacerbate which level of hearing loss.…”

Background and Objectives A large-scale community-based study of the general population has not been conducted. There have been no studies on the relationship between decreased renal function and the degree of hearing loss. Thus, the purpose was to evaluate the relationship between hearing loss and impaired renal function with a large number of populations.Subjects and Method We performed a cross-sectional population-based cohort study by enrolling 470718 adults, 18 to 80 years old with pure tone audiometry tests who had regular health screening between 2013 and 2018. Hearing loss was defined as a pure-tone average of thresholds at 500, 1000, and 2000 Hz in both right and left ears. Kidney function was evaluated based on eGFR. Chronic kidney disease (CKD) was diagnosed as an eGFR<60 mL/ min/1.73 m². Other predictor variables including noise and age that can affect hearing were also used to evaluate correlation factors.Results Of Participants with CKD, 14.2% had any hearing loss (>25 dB) and 5.0% had above moderate hearing loss (>40 dB). But those with normal kidney function, 2.0% either had any hearing loss and 0.4% had above moderate hearing loss. The odds ratio (OR) of above moderate hearing loss for participants with CKD was 1.51 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.15-2.00, <i>p</i>=0.003) but the OR of mild hearing loss for participants with CKD was 0.82 (95% CI: 0.67- 1.02, <i>p</i>=0.073). The result suggested that CKD and above moderate hearing loss were related even after correcting for potential confounders, but had no statistical significance with mild hearing loss.Conclusion Decreased kidney function is associated with above moderate hearing loss.
