PurposeThe purpose of this article is to study the association between hearing loss（HL）and labor force participation in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey（NHANES）.MethodThis cross-sectional study used data from 1999-2000，2001 - 2002，2003-2004，2011-2012，and 2015-2016 cycles of the NHANES.样本仅限于25-65岁的成年人，具有完整的听力数据。听力较好的耳根据0.5-、1-、2-和4-kHz阈值的纯音平均值（PTA）定义HL，如下：无损失（PTA < 25 dB）、轻度HL（25 dB < PTA < 40 dB）和中度至重度HL（PTA > 40 dB）。HL和劳动力参与率之间的关联使用加权logistic回归进行估计，调整了年龄，性别，种族/民族，教育，生活安排和健康状况。（50.6%的女性，22.6%的黑人，27%的西班牙裔），我们发现与没有HL的成年人相比，中度至重度HL患者在劳动力之外的几率更大（比值比= 2.35; 95%置信区间：1.42-3.88）。然而，有没有差异HL状态被雇用或有一个完整的与兼职工作。ConclusionsModerate-to-severe HL，但不是轻度HL，与较高的几率不参加劳动力。然而，有没有被雇用或有全职与兼职工作的HL状态的差异。需要进一步的研究来更好地描述HL如何影响劳动力参与。补充材料https：doi.org/10.23641/asha.19858930
PurposeThe purpose of this article was to study the association between hearing loss (HL) and labor force participation in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES).MethodThis cross-sectional study used data from the 1999–2000, 2001–2002, 2003–2004, 2011–2012, and 2015–2016 cycles of the NHANES. The sample was restricted to adults aged 25–65 years with complete audiometric data. HL was defined based on the pure-tone average (PTA) of 0.5-, 1-, 2-, and 4-kHz thresholds in the better hearing ear as follows: no loss (PTA < 25 dB), mild HL (25 dB < PTA < 40 dB), and moderate-to-severe HL (PTA > 40 dB). The association between HL and labor force participation was estimated using weighted logistic regression adjusted for age, sex, race/ethnicity, education, living arrangements, and health status.ResultsIn a sample of 9,963 participants (50.6% women, 22.6% Black, 27% Hispanic), we found that compared with adults without HL, individuals with moderate-to-severe HL had greater odds of being outside of the labor force (odds ratio = 2.35; 95% confidence interval: 1.42–3.88). However, there were no differences by HL status in being employed or having a full- versus part-time job.ConclusionsModerate-to-severe HL, but not mild HL, was associated with higher odds of not participating in the labor force. However, there were no differences by HL status in being employed or having a full- versus part-time job. Further research is needed to better characterize how HL may affect labor force participation.Supplemental Materialhttps://doi.org/10.23641/asha.19858930
