Abstract

Background and objectives: In this study, we investigated the effects of hearing loss on mental health and quality of life (QoL) using survey data in adults aged >40 years. Subjects and.

Methods: We obtained data from 10,921 individuals who responded to the fifth Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. Primary outcomes were measured using questionnaires that recorded stress perception, depressive mood, and suicidal ideation to evaluate mental health and motor ability, self-management, activities of daily living, pain or discomfort, and anxiety or depression to evaluate QoL.

Results: On multivariate analysis, suicidal ideation was more prevalent among older adults with hearing loss than in older adults without hearing loss. Motor ability was lower in individuals with hearing loss of >20 dB than in older adults with normal hearing. Categorization of the EuroQol-5 Dimension (EQ-5D) health state into upper and lower groups showed that the EQ-5D values were lower in the moderate-tosevere hearing loss group than in the mild hearing loss group.

Conclusions: Among adults aged >40 years, those with hearing loss experienced more suicidal ideation, had lower motor ability, and lower overall QoL compared with these variables in older adults with normal hearing. Additionally, QoL scores were low in individuals with poor hearing.

40岁成人听力水平与心理健康及生活质量的关系

背景与目的:在本研究中，我们使用调查数据调查听力损失对心理健康和生活质量(QoL)的影响。研究对象和方法:我们获得了参加第五次韩国国家健康和营养检查调查的10,921人的数据。主要结果通过记录压力感知、抑郁情绪和自杀意念的问卷来评估心理健康和运动能力、自我管理、日常生活活动、疼痛或不适以及焦虑或抑郁来评估生活质量。结果:在多变量分析中，有听力损失的老年人的自杀意念比无听力损失的老年人更普遍。与听力正常的老年人相比，听力损失在100 ~ 20分贝的个体运动能力较低。EuroQol-5维度(EQ-5D)健康状态分为上、下两组，中重度听力损失组EQ-5D值低于轻度听力损失组。结论:与听力正常的老年人相比，听力损失患者有更多的自杀意念、更低的运动能力和更低的总体生活质量。此外，听力差的个体的生活质量得分也较低。

期刊介绍： Journal of Audiology and Otology (JAO) (formerly known as Korean Journal of Audiology) aims to publish the most advanced findings for all aspects of the auditory and vestibular system and diseases of the ear using state-of-the-art techniques and analyses. The journal covers recent trends related to the topics of audiology, otology, and neurotology conducted by professionals, with the goal of providing better possible treatment to people of all ages, from infants to the elderly, who suffer from auditory and/or vestibular disorders and thus, improving their quality of life. This journal encourages the submission of review papers about current professional issues, research papers presenting a scientific base and clinical application, and case papers with unique reports or clinical trials. We also invite letters to the editor and papers related to the manufacture and distribution of medical devices. This journal provides integrated views from otologists, audiologists, and other healthcare practitioners, offering readers high quality scientific and clinical information. This peer-reviewed and open access journal has been the official journal of the Korean Audiological Society since 1997 and of both the Korean Audiological Society and the Korean Otological Society since 2017. It is published in English four times a year in January, April, July, and October.
