The characteristic of conventional and extended high-frequency audiometry in older adults - a community-based investigation in South China.
Objectives: To define extended high-frequency hearing threshold ranges in normal hearing elderly (aged 55 years and above) and identify associated risk factors for extended high-frequency hearing loss.
Methods: Pure-tone thresholds (0.25-16 kHz) and word recognition scores were measured using portable audiometric equipment. Lifestyle and medical histories were collected, and generalised linear models analysed risk factors for extended high-frequency hearing (10-12 kHz).
Results: In normal hearing elderly (28 ears, 18 subjects), 95 per cent confidence intervals for 10 and 12 kHz were 34.770-49.301 and 56.976-65.809, respectively. Among 342 ears (200 subjects), hypertension emerged as a leading risk factor for extended high-frequency hearing loss, while lipid-lowering medications showed potential protective effects.
Conclusion: Preliminary extended high-frequency hearing thresholds were established, with hypertension identified as a key risk factor and lipid-lowering medications as a potential protective factor.
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.
