| Objective: This study conducted a hearing loss questionnaire and listening test in a listening room of young people aged 18-28 in Hangzhou Occupational Diseases Prevention and Treatment Center in Zhejiang Province to study the current status of hearing loss among young people in Hangzhou and explore the risk factors of hearing loss among young people in Hangzhou And coping strategies to promote people to change bad behaviors and lifestyles and effectively control the occurrence of hearing loss.Methods: On-site survey: In 2017,the survey was conducted from Hangzhou Occupational Disease Prevention and Control Hospital to questionnaires and hearing tests for young people aged 18-28.The self-designed "Hangzhou Professionals Pre-employment Hearing Loss Survey Form" was used to conduct a questionnaire survey.Hearing room audiometry;professional technicians use unified instruments to detect binaural 125Hz-8000 Hz pure tone listening thresholds in 9 frequency bands.Results: An effective survey of 1049 persons included 807 males(76.9%)and 242 females(23.1%).The average age was 23.65 ± 2.95 years.The prevalence of left and right ear low frequencies was 6.8% and 3.8%,the prevalence of left and right ear intermediate frequencies was 4.4% and 3.1%,and the prevalence of left and right ear high frequencies were 12.2% and 11.1%,respectively.The univariate analysis showed that gender,education level,tinnitus,ear pain,ear tightness,maximum loud music,answering phone calls,attitude towards hearing protection,and self-perceived hearing status were the influencing factors of hearing loss.Multivariate logistic regression analysis results showed that medium volume(OR = 0.361,95% CI: 0.160 to 0.816),low volume(OR = 0.418,95% CI: 0.219-0.797),and above(OR = 0.466,95% CI : 0.235 to 0.924)and(OR = 0.323,95% CI: 0.140 to 747),women(OR = 0.478,95% CI: 0.277 to 0.827),answering calls with headphones(OR = 0.448,95% CI: 0.236 to 0.852)is a protective factor for hearing loss.I feel that my hearing is not good(OR = 2.050,95% CI: 1.067 ~ 3.940),negative attitude towards hearing protection(OR = 3.350,95% CI: 1.782 ~ 6.300),ear Pain(OR = 3.347,95% CI: 1.185 to 9.449)is a risk factor for hearing loss.Conclusion: The prevalence of hearing loss among young people in Hangzhou is relatively high.Music volume,education,gender,answering the phone,self-perceived hearing status,and attitude toward hearing protection are the factors that affect hearing loss.Comprehensive prevention and treatment should be targeted at the influencing factors of hearing loss. |
