基于听力损失分级的老年人听阈参考值范围研究

Reference Interval of Hearing Threshold in Older Adults Based on Hearing Loss Grades:A Narrow Review

预防老年人听力损失是经济、有效、可行的。将听力检测纳入体检项目和常规监测是其中一个行之有效的方法,同时需要制定精准的符合目标人群的听阈参考值范围(reference interval,RI)。目前,国内外针对老年人听阈RI的研究很少,大多是从临床角度出发的听力分级标准。我们将从现存的代表性听力分级标准出发,综述国内外听力分级标准研究的现状和进展,总结听力分级标准中听阈范围特点,为老年人听阈RI的制定提供参考。

Preventing hearing loss in older adults is economical,effective and feasible.Incorporating hearing tests into physical examinations and daily monitoring is one of the effective methods,which requires the establishment of accurate hearing threshold reference intervals(RI)that match the target population.At present,few studies on hearing threshold reference intervals for older adults exist either at home or abroad,while most studies on hearing loss grades are from a clinical perspective.In this paper,we will review the current status and progress of studies on hearing loss grades in China and other countries based on existing representative hearing loss grades,summarize the characteristics of specific hearing threshold ranges in hearing loss grades,and make suggestions for the establishment of reference intervals for hearing thresholds in older adults.
