Abstract

|

Background: Sleep duration is associated with hearing loss, especially presbycusis, which is the most common type of hearing loss; however, there is limited evidence regarding this association among the Korean population. We aimed to determine the relationship between sleep duration and high-frequency hearing loss in Korean adults aged ≥40 years.
Methods: We examined 5,547 Korean adults aged ≥40 years who completed audiometric tests and questionnaires regarding sleep duration during the 2010?2012 cycle of the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Sur-vey. Mild presbycusis was defined as >25 decibels (dB) and <40 dB, whereas moderate-to-severe presbycusis was defined as >40 dB pure tone averages at high frequencies (3,000, 4,000, and 6,000 Hz) for both ears. Additionally, the sleep duration was divided into quartiles. Odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals were estimated using mul-tivariable logistic regression after adjusting for covariates.
Results: The prevalence of presbycusis in South Korean adults was 62.1%, of which 61.4% showed moderate to se-vere presbycusis. The incidence of moderate-to-severe, but not mild, presbycusis showed a significant positive cor-relation with sleep duration.
Conclusion: Our findings suggest that sleep duration is associated with the prevalence of presbycusis.
