Abstract

Objectives: To investigate whether a possible association of mobile phone use with hearing impairment was conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Content: This is a systematic review and meta-analysis. A comprehensive literature search was carried out based on the Meta-analysis of Observational Studies in Epidemiology (MOOSE) methodology using PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, OVID, and Cochrane. The Robins-I tool was used for quality assessment and risk of bias. Two investigators independently reviewed all articles. Pooled effect size was calculated and meta-analysis was performed to compute an overall effect size.

Summary: Overall, five relevant studies (two cross-sectional and three cohort studies) with 92,978 participants were included in the analysis. The studies were stratified by design, there was no significant association between mobile phone use and hearing impairment in cross-sectional studies (OR=0.94, 95% CI=0.57-1.31) and cohort studies (OR=1.09, 95% CI=0.93-1.25). In addition, the effect estimates did not differ significantly between cross-sectional and cohort studies (Q=0.50, p=0.48). Overall, the pooled odds ratio (OR) of hearing impairment was 1.07 (95% CI: 0.94-1.20), which indicates no significant association between mobile phone use and hearing impairment.

Outlook: Our findings indicate no association between mobile phone use and hearing impairment. However, these findings must be interpreted with caution.

手机使用与听力损害之间的关系:一项系统回顾和荟萃分析。

目的:通过系统回顾和荟萃分析，调查手机使用与听力障碍之间是否存在可能的联系。内容:这是一篇系统综述和荟萃分析。利用PubMed、Scopus、Web of Science、OVID和Cochrane，基于Meta-analysis of Observational Studies in Epidemiology (MOOSE)方法学进行了全面的文献检索。采用Robins-I工具进行质量评估和偏倚风险评估。两名调查人员独立审查了所有文章。计算综合效应量，并进行荟萃分析以计算总体效应量。总结:总体而言，分析纳入了5项相关研究(2项横断面研究和3项队列研究)，共92978名受试者。这些研究按照设计进行分层，在横断面研究(OR=0.94, 95% CI=0.57-1.31)和队列研究(OR=1.09, 95% CI=0.93-1.25)中，手机使用与听力损害之间没有显著关联。此外，横断面研究和队列研究的效果估计没有显著差异(Q=0.50, p=0.48)。总体而言，听力障碍的合并优势比(OR)为1.07 (95% CI: 0.94-1.20)，表明手机使用与听力障碍之间无显著关联。展望:我们的发现表明手机使用和听力损伤之间没有关联。然而，这些发现必须谨慎解读。

期刊介绍： Reviews on Environmental Health (REVEH) is an international peer-reviewed journal that aims to fill the need for publication of review articles on hot topics in the field of environmental health. Reviews on Environmental Health aims to be an inspiring forum for scientists, environmentalists, physicians, engineers, and students who are concerned with aspects of human health, including quality of life, that are determined by physiological and psychosociological interactions between man and physical, chemical, biological, and social factors in the environment. Reviews on Environmental Health is an important niche served by no other journal, that’s being a site where thoughtful reviews can be published on a variety of subjects related to both health and environment. One challenge is to bridge the research on environmental causes of disease with the clinical practice of medicine. Reviews on Environmental Health is a source of integrated information on environment and health subjects that will be of value to the broad scientific community, whether students, junior and senior professionals, or clinicians.
