背景:中耳炎(OM)是一种常见的临床耳部疾病。噪声严重损害人的听力功能。本研究旨在研究各种噪声类型对轻度OM康复患者听力功能的影响。
方法:回顾性选择2020年5月至2023年5月在我院接受治疗的160例轻度OM患者进行本研究。根据临床数据,将患者分为非噪声组(n=80)和噪声组(n=80)。在500、1000和2000Hz的各种噪声类型中比较了两组的听力阈值。此外,在相同条件下比较噪声组的听力阈值。
结果:噪声组在500、1000和2000Hz的听阈明显高于非噪声组(P<0.05)。在交通状况下,城市建设,和工业噪音,噪声组的500、1000和2000Hz的听觉阈值明显高于家庭和语音噪声下的听觉阈值(P<0.05)。
结论:噪声与OM患者的听力功能密切相关。交通,城市建设,和工业噪声极大地影响了从轻度OM恢复的患者的听力功能。
BACKGROUND: Otitis media (OM) refers to a common clinical ear disease. Noise seriously damages human hearing function. This study aimed to investigate the effects of various noise types on the hearing function of patients who have recovered from mild OM.
METHODS: A total of 160 patients with mild OM treated at our hospital from May 2020 to May 2023 were retrospectively selected for this study. Based on clinical data, the patients were divided into the non-noise group (n = 80) and the noise (n = 80) group. The hearing thresholds of the two groups were compared across various noise types at 500, 1000, and 2000 Hz. In addition, the hearing thresholds of the noise group were compared under the same conditions.
RESULTS: The noise group exhibited significantly higher hearing thresholds at 500, 1000, and 2000 Hz than the non-noise group (P < 0.05). Under traffic, urban construction, and industrial noises, the auditory thresholds at 500, 1000, and 2000 Hz in the noise group were significantly higher than those observed under domestic and speech noises (P < 0.05).
CONCLUSIONS: Noise shows a close relationship with the hearing function of patients with OM. Traffic, urban construction, and industrial noises greatly influence the hearing function of patients who have recovered from mild OM.
