Abstract

Objectives: We aimed to estimate the global prevalence of hearing loss among adults and to explore its associated factors.

Methods: Our systematic review was conducted following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis statement (PRISMA). We retrieved corresponding documents published up to Sep 24, 2021 in PubMed and Web of Science. Random-effects models were used to calculate the pooled prevalence of hearing loss. Subgroup analyses were conducted to explore potential heterogeneity.

Results: The pooled prevalence of any hearing loss across 100 studies was 31.0% (95% CI: 26.9-35.1, P < .001, I² = 99.9%), and the pooled prevalence of disabling hearing loss across 34 studies was 15.9% (95% CI: 11.1-20.7, P < .001, I² = 99.9%). The prevalence of hearing loss was higher in the year range of 2000 to 2009, among the elder (≥70) or males, in studies using either ear side of hearing loss definition or in the region of the Americas. Ear disease or surgery, job noise exposure, current smoking, off-work noise exposure, males, cardiovascular disease, past drinking, diabetes mellitus, hypertension, older age, and past smoking are risk factors of hearing loss while education level surpasses high school acts as a protect factor for hearing.

Conclusion: Our results demonstrate high prevalence of hearing loss among adults worldwide and verify several related factors of the disease. Prevention and intervention measures should be implemented.

成人听力损失的患病率和相关因素：系统回顾和荟萃分析。

目的：我们旨在估计全球成年人听力损失的患病率，并探讨其相关因素。方法：我们的系统评价是按照系统评价和meta分析声明的首选报告项目（PRISMA）进行的。我们检索了截止到2021年9月24日在PubMed和Web of Science上发表的相应文献。随机效应模型用于计算听力损失的总患病率。进行亚组分析以探索潜在的异质性。结果：100项研究中任何听力损失的总患病率为31.0% (95% CI: 26.9-35.1, p2 = 99.9%)， 34项研究中致残性听力损失的总患病率为15.9% （95% CI: 11.1-20.7, p2 = 99.9%）。在2000年至2009年期间，在老年人（≥70岁）或男性中，在使用听力损失定义的耳侧或美洲地区的研究中，听力损失的患病率较高。耳部疾病或手术、工作噪声暴露、目前吸烟、工作外噪声暴露、男性、心血管疾病、既往饮酒、糖尿病、高血压、年龄较大、既往吸烟是听力损失的危险因素，而高中以上文化程度是听力损失的保护因素。结论：我们的研究结果表明，听力损失在全球成年人中普遍存在，并证实了该疾病的几个相关因素。应采取预防和干预措施。

期刊介绍： The Annals of Otology, Rhinology & Laryngology publishes original manuscripts of clinical and research importance in otolaryngology–head and neck medicine and surgery, otology, neurotology, bronchoesophagology, laryngology, rhinology, head and neck oncology and surgery, plastic and reconstructive surgery, pediatric otolaryngology, audiology, and speech pathology. In-depth studies (supplements), papers of historical interest, and reviews of computer software and applications in otolaryngology are also published, as well as imaging, pathology, and clinicopathology studies, book reviews, and letters to the editor. AOR is the official journal of the American Broncho-Esophagological Association.
