我们报告了 56 名大学生的纯音听力阈值调查结果。所有受试者在电话采访中均报告听力正常，但并非所有受试者都具有公认标准所定义的正常敏感性。在一个或多个测试频率 (0.25–8 kHz) 下，7% 的耳朵阈值≥25 dB HL，12% 的耳朵阈值≥20 dB HL。当使用三频纯音平均值时，出现异常结果的耳朵比例下降。 2.7% 的耳朵检测到低频 PTA 听力损失，7.1% 的耳朵检测到高频 PTA 听力损失；然而，几乎没有证据表明听力图存在“缺口”。在统计上存在可靠的关系，其中个人音乐播放器的使用与男性受试者的听力状况下降相关。有关听力损失风险因素的常规筛查和教育至关重要，因为大学生并不总是能够自我识别听力的早期变化。对大学生听力状况进行大规模系统调查似乎是有必要的；目前的样本量不足以精确测量不同声源对某些受试者测量的升高阈值的潜在贡献。
We report pure-tone hearing threshold findings in 56 college students. All subjects reported normal hearing during telephone interviews, yet not all subjects had normal sensitivity as defined by well-accepted criteria. At one or more test frequencies (0.25–8 kHz), 7% of ears had thresholds ≥25 dB HL and 12% had thresholds ≥20 dB HL. The proportion of ears with abnormal findings decreased when three-frequency pure-tone-averages were used. Low-frequency PTA hearing loss was detected in 2.7% of ears and high-frequency PTA hearing loss was detected in 7.1% of ears; however, there was little evidence for “notched” audiograms. There was a statistically reliable relationship in which personal music player use was correlated with decreased hearing status in male subjects. Routine screening and education regarding hearing loss risk factors are critical as college students do not always self-identify early changes in hearing. Large-scale systematic investigations of college students’ hearing status appear to be warranted; the current sample size was not adequate to precisely measure potential contributions of different sound sources to the elevated thresholds measured in some subjects.
