Research Abstract |
We performed hearing tests in an epidemiological cohort study for the general population. Our results suggest that vascular sclerosis, osteoporosis and noise exposure were risk factors associated with age related hearing impairment. We analyzed the relationship with diabetes mellitus using HbA1c values, but no significant influence on hearing impairment was recognized. However, cognitive impairment associated with hearing impairment was seen in analysis of Mini-Mental State Examination.
