Abstract
Background: Several studies have indicated that dyslipidemia affects hearing; however, the results are not consistent. Here, we investigated average hearing, as well as the association between hearing loss and dyslipidemia prevalence and treatment.

Methods: We analyzed the data for 4,148 individuals aged 30?49 years from the fifth Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (2010? 2012). Dyslipidemia prevalence and treatment were defined using a questionnaire and blood test results. An average hearing threshold of 0.5, 1, or 2 kHz was used to define low-frequency pure tone average, while high-frequency pure tone average was defined as average hearing thresholds of 3, 4, or 6 kHz in the more impaired ear. Hearing loss was defined as pure tone averages ¡Ã26 dB.

Results: There was no significant difference in low-frequency and high-frequency pure tone averages between the dyslipidemia and control groups and between the dyslipidemia treatment and non-treatment groups. Dyslipidemia prevalence and treatment were not associated with hearing loss after adjusting for age, sex, body mass index, blood pressure, fasting glucose, glycated hemoglobin, total cholesterol, triglyceride, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, alcohol use, smoking, history of noise exposure, hypertension, diabetes, and coronary disease.

Conclusion: Dyslipidemia prevalence and treatment in men and women aged 30?49 years was not associated with hearing loss.
