目的亚临床听力损失 (SCHL)（我们小组之前将其定义为四频纯音平均值 [PTA4]> 0 至≤ 25 dB）最近与抑郁症状和认知能力下降相关。这表明美国常见的成人正常听力 25 dB 临界点可能不够灵敏。我们的目标是通过助听器使用和自我报告的听力困难来衡量 SCHL 患者的现实世界听力困难特征。研究设计两年期横断面流行病学调查分析（国家健康和营养检查调查，1999-2012 年，2015-2016 年）。设置
ObjectiveSubclinical hearing loss (SCHL)(previously defined by our group as a four-frequency pure tone average [PTA4]> 0 to≤ 25 dB) has recently been associated with depressive symptoms and cognitive decline. This suggests that the common 25 dB adult cutpoint in the United States for normal hearing may not be sensitive enough. We aim to characterize real-world hearing difficulties, as measured by hearing aid use and self-reported hearing difficulty, among individuals with SCHL.Study DesignAnalysis of biennial cross-sectional epidemiologic survey (National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, 1999–2012, 2015–2016).Setting
