Abstract

Objective: Emerging reports show that personal listening device usage causes vestibular impairment. This study aims to investigate the effect of personal listening device usage on vestibular impairment.

Methods: Subjects between 13 and 25 years were recruited. Each subject underwent a personal listening device usage questionnaire and quantification of sound exposure level, followed by a series of vestibular tests. Statistical analyses were performed to identify the association between personal listening device characteristics, sound exposure level and vestibular function.

Results: A total of 131 participants were recruited, with a mean age of 20 ± 2.55 years. The mean duration of personal listening device usage per day was 5.53 ± 2.76 hours. Noise exposure from personal listening device usage was noted to cause more saccular damage in adolescents. A correlation was found between the preferred listening level, the 40-hour equivalent continuous exposure level (r = 0.406, p = 0.029) and the latency right p13 among adolescents.

Conclusion: Sound exposure levels among adolescents are higher than among young adults. Personal listening device usage resulted in saccular damage among adolescents.

健康青少年和青壮年使用个人听音设备对前庭功能的影响。

目的：越来越多的报告显示，使用个人听音设备会导致前庭功能损伤。本研究旨在探讨个人助听器使用对前庭功能损害的影响。方法：招募年龄在13 - 25岁之间的受试者。每个受试者都进行了个人听力设备使用问卷调查和声音暴露水平量化，随后进行了一系列前庭测试。通过统计分析确定个人听音设备特性、声音暴露水平和前庭功能之间的关系。结果：共招募131名参与者，平均年龄为20±2.55岁。每天使用个人听音设备的平均时间为5.53±2.76小时。在青少年中，使用个人听音设备产生的噪音暴露会造成更多的囊性损伤。青少年首选听力水平、40小时等效连续暴露水平与潜伏期权p13呈显著相关（r = 0.406, p = 0.029）。结论：青少年的声暴露水平高于青壮年。在青少年中，使用个人听音设备导致了囊性损伤。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Laryngology & Otology (JLO) is a leading, monthly journal containing original scientific articles and clinical records in otology, rhinology, laryngology and related specialties. Founded in 1887, JLO is absorbing reading for ENT specialists and trainees. The journal has an international outlook with contributions from around the world, relevant to all specialists in this area regardless of the country in which they practise. JLO contains main articles (original, review and historical), case reports and short reports as well as radiology, pathology or oncology in focus, a selection of abstracts, book reviews, letters to the editor, general notes and calendar, operative surgery techniques, and occasional supplements. It is fully illustrated and has become a definitive reference source in this fast-moving subject area. Published monthly an annual subscription is excellent value for money. Included in the subscription is access to the JLO interactive web site with searchable abstract database of the journal archive back to 1887.
