摘要结论：百岁老人听力状况较差，听力阈值较差，言语检测能力较差。目的：了解百岁老人的听力状况。方法：对山东省日照区和临沂区54名百岁老人进行调查，采用问卷调查、纯音测听、声阻抗、智力评价、语音检测评分等方法对百岁老人的听力状况进行综合评价。此外，还招募了135人作为对照，并根据年龄分为四组：45-59岁、60-69岁、70-79岁和80-89岁。结果：百岁老人的听力阈值显著高于对照组（p < 0.05），符合世界卫生组织（WHO）标准的百岁老人均为中度至重度听力损失。很少有百岁老人的语音检测得分正常。所有百岁老人的听力曲线均呈下降趋势，男性百岁老人的听力阈值高于女性（p = 0.047）。百岁老人气骨传导间隙明显（p < 0.05）。
Abstract Conclusion: The hearing conditions of the centenarians were quite poor as regards hearing thresholds and speech detection ability. Objective: To investigate hearing conditions of centenarians. Methods: A total of 54 centenarians in Rizhao and Linyi Districts in Shandong Province were investigated to assess hearing conditions of centenerians comprehensively by questionnaire investigation, pure-tone audiometry, acoustic immitance, intelligence evaluation, and speech detection scores. Also, 135 individuals were recruited as controls and divided into four groups according to their age: 45–59 years, 60–69 years, 70–79 years, and 80–89 years. Results: The hearing thresholds of the centenarians were dramatically higher than those of the control group (p < 0.05) and all centenarians suffered moderate to profound hearing loss according to the World Health Organization (WHO) criteria. Few centenarians had normal level of speech detection scores. All centenarians showed descending hearing curve, and the hearing threshold of the male centenarians at 8000 Hz was higher than that of the females (p = 0.047). There was a significant air–bone conduction gap in the centenarians (p < 0.05).
