耳鸣与噪音暴露有关，一种常见的形式是把听音乐作为休闲活动。耳鸣与音乐接触的类型和持续时间之间的关系尚不清楚。我们进行了一项基于互联网的人口研究，向参与者询问了有关终身音乐接触和听力的问题，并包括一项听力测试，涉及噪音中的语音清晰度，高频数字三连音测试。4950名年龄在17-75岁之间的人完成了所有问题和听力测试。结果采用多项回归模型进行分析。大量接触休闲音乐、听力困难、年龄增长和工作场所噪音暴露与耳鸣的增加独立相关。三种形式的音乐暴露（酒吧/俱乐部，音乐会，个人音乐播放器）与耳鸣的关系没有差异。报告耳鸣的男性多于女性。语音接受阈值的客观测量与耳鸣的关系很小。自我报告的听力困难与耳鸣的联系更紧密，但76%的报告经常或持续耳鸣的人也报告很少或没有听力困难。总体而言，所有年龄段的参与者中约有40%的人报告从未经历过耳鸣，而29%的人报告有时，通常或持续经历耳鸣，持续时间超过5分钟。总之，结果表明耳鸣比听力损失更常见，但两者之间几乎没有联系，特别是在本研究中不成比例地抽样的年轻人中。(C) 2016年作者。Elsevier B.V.出版
Tinnitus has been linked to noise exposure, a common form of which is listening to music as a leisure activity. The relationship between tinnitus and type and duration of music exposure is not well understood. We conducted an internet-based population study that asked participants questions about lifetime music exposure and hearing, and included a hearing test involving speech intelligibility in noise, the High Frequency Digit Triplets Test. 4950 people aged 17-75 years completed all questions and the hearing test. Results were analyzed using multinomial regression models. High exposure to leisure music, hearing difficulty, increasing age and workplace noise exposure were independently associated with increased tinnitus. Three forms of music exposure (pubs/clubs, concerts, personal music players) did not differ in their relationship to tinnitus. More males than females reported tinnitus. The objective measure of speech reception threshold had only a minimal relationship with tinnitus. Self-reported hearing difficulty was more strongly associated with tinnitus, but 76% of people reporting usual or constant tinnitus also reported little or no hearing difficulty. Overall, around 40% of participants of all ages reported never experiencing tinnitus, while 29% reported sometimes, usually or constantly experiencing tinnitus that lasted more than 5 min. Together, the results suggest that tinnitus is much more common than hearing loss, but that there is little association between the two, especially among the younger adults disproportionately sampled in this study.
