概括
与年龄相关的听力损失 (ARHL) 影响了近一半的健康老年人,男性和受教育程度较低的人更容易受到影响. 客观性听力损失很常见,即使不是自我报告,强调需要听力健康教育.
科学领域:
- 老年学是一门学科.
- 听力学 听力学是指听力学.
- 公共卫生 公共卫生
背景情况:
- 与年龄相关的听力损失 (ARHL) 在老年人群中很普遍.
- 在健康的,居住在社区的老年人中调查ARHL至关重要.
- 这项研究研究了健康队列中的ARHL患病率和相关因素.
研究的目的:
- 为了确定ARHL在健康的,社区生活的老年人中的患病率.
- 确定与听力值相关的社会人口统计学,生活方式和健康因素.
- 将客观的听力测量测量与自我报告的听力损失和残疾进行比较.
主要方法:
- 分析了来自ASPREE-Hearing子研究的1,260名澳大利亚参与者 (平均年龄73岁).
- 排除包括认知障碍,心血管疾病和不受控制的高血压.
- 听力测量测量了听力值 (更好的耳朵PTA),按严重程度分类;问卷评估了自我报告的听力问题和噪音暴露.
主要成果:
- ARHL的患病率为49.7%,男性 (59%) 比女性 (41%) 高.
- 自我报告的听力问题在很大程度上与客观发现保持一致.
- 多变量分析确定年龄,男性性别和教育年数较少 (<12) 与听力损失显著相关 (p <0.05).
结论:

01:01Perception of Sound Waves
4.4K
The human ear is not equally sensitive to all frequencies in the audible range. It may perceive sound waves with the same pressure but different frequencies as having different loudness. Moreover, the perception of sound waves depends on the health of an individual's ears, which decays with age. The health of one's ears may also be affected by regular exposure to loud noises.
The pitch of a sound depends on the frequency and the pressure amplitude of the source. Two sounds of the same...

Sometimes we want to see how people change over time, as in studies of human development and lifespan. When we test the same group of individuals repeatedly over an extended period of time, we are conducting longitudinal research. Longitudinal research is a research design in which data-gathering is administered repeatedly over an extended period of time. For example, we may survey a group of individuals about their dietary habits at age 20, retest them a decade later at age 30, and then again...
