To estimate the prevalence of hearing impairment (HI) and evaluate the cross-sectional associations of environmental and cardiovascular disease risk factors and HI in middle-aged adults. Data were collected as part of the Beaver Dam Offspring Study (BOSS), an epidemiological cohort study of aging. HI was defined as a pure-tone average (PTA) 0.5,1,2,4kHz >25 db HL in either ear. Word recognition in competing message (WRCM) was measured using the Northwestern University #6 word list. Questionnaire information about behaviors, environmental factors and medical history was collected. Participants (n=3,285) were offspring of participants of the population-based Epidemiology of Hearing Loss Study, and ranged in age from 21–84 years (mean age=49 years). The prevalence of HI was 14.1%, and the median WRCM score was 64% (standard deviation=15%). In a multivariate model, controlling for age, sex, education, and occupational noise, a history of ear surgery (Odds Ratio (OR) = 4.11, 95%Confidence Interval (CI) = 2.37, 7.15), larger central retinal venular equivalent (CRVE) (OR = 1.77, 95%CI = 1.20, 2.60; 4th q vs. 1st q), and higher hematocrit percentage (OR = 0.77, 95% CI = 0.63, 0.95; per 5%) were independently associated with HI. Factors associated with lower WRCM scores were similar but also included mean intima-media thickness (mean difference= −0.63% (−1.06, −0.19) P= 0.005; per 0.1mm) and statin use (mean difference= −2.09% (−3.58, −0.60) P=0.005). HI is a common condition in middle-aged adults. CVD risk factors may be important correlates of age-related auditory dysfunction.
