目的听力损失是世界上最大的健康问题之一，职业性噪声听力损失是公认的最常见的职业病。然而，导致听力损失的因素很多，很难确定引起噪声性听力损失的具体因素。为了了解职业性噪声暴露对听力的确切影响，我们对在噪声环境中工作的50岁日本自卫队（JSDF）男性人员进行了噪声暴露与听力损害之间关系的横断面队列研究。由于遗传和社会背景的同质性，这一人群是检测噪声性听力障碍的理想人群。方法本研究使用的数据收集自2013年7月至2015年10月的JSDF“50岁里程碑健康检查”。1667名男性工作人员参加了这项研究。用听力图进行纯音测听。一份调查问卷要求参与者自我报告职业噪音暴露情况。结果噪声暴露人群在1)4个频率的平均阈值（500 + 1000 + 2000 + 4000 Hz / 4）、2)高3个频率的平均阈值（2000 + 4000 + 8000 Hz / 3）和3)4 kHz的阈值与无噪声暴露对照人群相比具有更高的听力阈值和优势比。噪音暴露组的耳鸣患病率也明显较高。结论本研究为噪声暴露与噪声性听力损伤之间的关系提供了具体证据。
ObjectivesHearing loss is one of the biggest health problems in the world and occupational noise-induced hearing loss is recognized as the most common work-related illness. However, many factors that result in hearing loss make it difficult to define the specific factor that induces noise-induced hearing loss. To access the exact effect of occupational noise exposure on hearing, we conducted a cross-sectional cohort study of the relationship between noise exposure and hearing impairment in 50-year-old male Japanese Self-Defense Force (JSDF) personnel who work in a noisy environment. This population is ideal for the detection of noise-induced hearing impairments due to the homogeneity of genetic and social backgrounds.MethodsThe data utilized in this study were collected from a “50-year-old milestone health examination” of the JSDF from July 2013 to October 2015. One thousand sixty-seven male personnel were enrolled in the study. Pure-tone audiometry was conducted with an audiometer. A survey questionnaire asked participants to self-report occupational noise exposure.ResultsThis cohort revealed that noise-exposed personnel had a higher hearing threshold and a higher odds ratio in 1) the average threshold of 4 frequencies (500 + 1000 + 2000 + 4000 Hz / 4), 2) the average threshold of higher 3 frequencies (2000 + 4000 + 8000 Hz / 3), and 3) the threshold of 4 kHz compared to no noise-exposed control personnel. The prevalence of tinnitus was also significantly higher in the noise-exposed group.ConclusionsThis study provides specific evidence for the relationship between noise exposure and noise-induced hearing impairments.
