“…To evaluate the hearing screening accuracy with ANC technology, the number of measurements that passed each test condition with the ANC function switched on (ANC-ON) was compared with the audiometric results from the standard audiometric soundtreated booth. Note that the accuracy was defined as the ratio of the number of measurements that passed the test conditions to the total measurements performed under the same test conditions, as illustrated in formula (2).…”

“…A previous study showed that the global prevalence of hearing loss accounted for one in five people in 2019, and a 56.1% increase is expected by 2050 along with a corresponding increase in hearing-impairment-associated disability. [1][2][3] These numbers indicate that globally, the proportion of hearing-impaired people increases every year, and more research resources focused on this population are needed.There are many factors (e.g., noise-induced hearing loss, ototoxicity, and idiopathic sudden sensorineural hearing loss) that cause hearing loss in patients; 4-6 meanwhile, a World Health Organization report has shown that over 1 billion young adults are at risk of permanent hearing loss due to unsafe listening practices. Therefore, a device that could allow hearing screening to be performed at any time would be valuable because of its ability to effectively support early treatment.…”

Hearing is a critical function for human communication, and when hearing loss occurs, it directly affects the quality of life. A previous study showed that the global prevalence of hearing loss accounted for one in five people in 2019, and a 56.1% increase is expected by 2050 along with a corresponding increase in hearing-impairment-associated disability.

Therefore, a device that could allow hearing screening to be performed at any time would be valuable because of its ability to effectively support early treatment.

“…Hearing loss (HL) is the most common human sensory deficit. It is estimated that over five percent of the world’s population (~360 million people) are currently living with a disabling HL [ 1 ]. HL is associated with dementia, depression and social isolation, adversely affects educational attainment, and impairs the quality of life [ 2 – 5 ].…”

Hearing loss (HL) is a global health problem with a high prevalence and profound socioeconomic impact. Pyrethroids are one of the most commonly used insecticides. Although previous studies have reported the relationship between pyrethroids and neurotoxicity, little is known about the effect of pyrethroid exposure on the auditory system among the general population. This study is aimed to investigate the association of pyrethroid exposure with hearing threshold shifts of adults in the United States. A total of 726 adults, aged from 20 to 69 years from the 2011–2012 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) data were included in the study. Urinary 3-phenoxybenzoic acid (3-PBA), a general pyrethroid metabolite, was used as a biomarker for pyrethroid exposure. HL was defined as a pure-tone average (PTA) at 0.5, 1, 2, 4 kHz ≥ 20 dB in the better ear. Analyses by using multivariate linear regressions were conducted to explore the associations of urinary 3-PBA with PTA hearing threshold shifts. There were no statistically significant correlations between Ln-transformed 3-PBA and either low-frequency or high-frequency hearing thresholds after adjusting for age, gender, race/ethnicity, education level, firearm noise exposure, occupational noise exposure, recreational noise exposure, serum cotinine, BMI, hypertension, and diabetes. However, associations of 3-PBA with both low-frequency and high-frequency hearing thresholds depended on age (P interaction < 0.0396 and 0.0017, respectively). Positive associations between Ln-transformed 3-PBA and both low-frequency and high-frequency hearing thresholds were observed in participants aged 20–39 years after adjusting confounders (β = 1.53, 95% CI: 0.04–3.01, and β = 3.14, 95% CI: 0.99–5.29, respectively) with the highest tertile (≥ 0.884 μg/g creatinine) of 3-PBA compared with the lowest tertile (< 0.407 μg/g creatinine). The possibility of interaction between 3-PBA and age on the hearing threshold shifts indicated that pyrethroid insecticides were prone to be more toxic to auditory system in younger adults than in older ones. Further studies will be required to confirm these findings.

ObjectiveThe goal of the present study was to estimate the risk of hearing impairment in patients with COPD using huge nationwide population.MethodsA retrospective case–control study was performed using the National Health Insurance Database in South Korea from 2002 through 2019. Totally 614,370 COPD patients and matched 2,170,504 control participants were selected at a 1:4 ratio. Hearing impairment was defined based on the registered data in the Ministry of Health and Welfare of Korea with six levels of severity of hearing impairment. The propensity score was calculated, and overlap‐weighted multinomial logistic regression was used to calculate the odds ratios of COPD for hearing impairment.ResultsA total of 2.67% of COPD patients and 1.9% of control participants had hearing impairment. The COPD patients indicated 1.10–1.21 times higher odds for hearing impairment according to the severity of hearing impairment than the control group. In accordance with age and sex, the younger age group (<65 years old) and female group demonstrated higher odds for hearing impairment related to the presence of COPD. The high odds for hearing impairment in patients with COPD was consistent in all other subgroups, except for the underweight group.ConclusionsCOPD was associated with an increased risk of hearing impairment in the general population in Korea.Level of Evidence3 Laryngoscope, 2024
