确定高血压和听力损失之间的可能联系。150例病例和124例对照，男女皆有，年龄45-64岁，经样本估计纳入研究。通过血压读数确认高血压，并根据血压读数分为1级、2级、3级高血压或无高血压。听力是通过测量250至8000赫兹不同频率的纯音阈值来评估的。高血压与听力阈值升高之间存在显著关联。在研究人群中的听力损失表明，高血压是加速老化导致的听力器官退化的因素。在这项研究中，听阈升高与高血压之间的关系，可以让心脏病学家、肾病学家、耳鼻喉学家、听力学家和其他关注高血压引起的改变的健康专业人员进行综合工作。
To determine the likely association between hypertension and hearing loss. 150 cases and 124 controls, both genders, aged 45-64, included in the research after sample estimation. Hypertension was verified through blood pressure readings and was classified as grade 1, grade 2 and grade 3 hypertension or no hypertension according to the blood pressure readings. Hearing was assessed by measuring pure tone threshold at various frequencies ranging between 250 and 8,000 Hz. There is a significant association between hypertension and increase in the hearing threshold. Hearing loss in the population under study suggests that hypertension is an accelerating factor of degeneration of the hearing apparatus due to aging. Association between Increased hearing threshold and hypertension in this research, can allow for an integrated work of cardiologists, nephrologists, otorhinolaryngologists, audiologists and other health professionals concerned with alterations caused by hypertension.
