In Europe, about 71 million people aged 18 to 80 suffer from hearing loss over 25 dB. In the United States, 30 million people are deaf. And the proportion of the population with hearing problems increases steadily for 30 years. To know the origin of this progression, researchers from Johns Hopkins Hospital and Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health studied the relationship between hearing loss, cardiovascular risk factors and exposure to noise. Their study involved over 3,500 people aged 20 to 69 years. Their smoking, diabetes and hypertension were taken into account, as well as exposure to noise, both in the workplace than at leisure.
Exposure to noise, both in professional activities than when use of firearms has been associated with hearing loss, just as smoking and diabetes. However, the impact of hypertension is more limited. The authors of this study indicate that exposure to noise causes hearing loss in high frequencies, whereas smoking and diabetes cause hearing loss in both the high and low frequencies. They also show that cardiovascular risk factors and those related to noise are more qu'additionner their misdeeds. They act in synergy.
Another study, presented recently by an Indian team at the Congress of the American Diabetes Association, New Orleans, says almost all diabetics suffer from hearing problems whose intensity is related to the severity of diabetes. Then takes place, September 29, World Day of deafness, experts stress the need to prevent, as much as possible, the hearing impairment. And propose suitable equipment to those who intend evil to avoid isolation. According to recent estimates, 45% of citizens over age 60 have hearing problems. But currently, only one in ten is hearing impaired sailed.
