从老年学和老年医学研究的70岁的人在哥德堡，瑞典，674人被选中参加调查耳鸣在老年。受试者属于两个队列，其中一个队列在75岁和79岁时进行纵向随访。大约8-15%的参与者有持续性耳鸣和20-42%偶尔耳鸣。耳鸣的发病率男性与女性大致相同。耳鸣与职业噪声暴露有显著相关性。平均而言，患有持续性耳鸣的男性暴露于噪声中20-30年，而没有耳鸣的男性平均暴露于噪声中11-15年。持续性耳鸣患者的纯音听阈比无耳鸣或偶尔性耳鸣者差。噪声引起的听力损失是一个重要的病因，特别是对于老年人，但其他类型的听力损失，如老年性聋，梅尼埃病，耳硬化症和慢性中耳炎也有助于耳鸣。
From the gerontological and geriatric study of 70-year-olds in Goteborg, Sweden, 674 persons were selected to participate in an investigation of tinnitus in old age. The subjects belonged to two cohorts, one of which was followed longitudinally at ages 75 and 79. Some 8-15% of the participants had continuous tinnitus and 20-42% occasional tinnitus. The prevalence of tinnitus was about the same for men as for women. There were significant correlations between tinnitus and exposure to occupational noise. Men with continuous tinnitus had, on average, been exposed to noise for 20-30 years, in contrast to men without tinnitus who had noise exposure of 11-15 years, on average. Those with continuous tinnitus had poorer pure-tone thresholds than those without tinnitus or with occasional tinnitus. Noise-induced hearing loss is an important etiological factor, especially for old men, but other types of hearing losses such as presbyacusis, Meniere's disease, otosclerosis and chronic otitis media also contribute to tinnitus.
