Hearing loss is a leading cause of disability in China. However, the research status in the field of hearing among Chinese individuals in the three major regions of China: Mainland (ML), Hong Kong (HK) and Taiwan (TW), are unknown. The output of hearing articles published in international otorhinolaryngology journals from these three regions were compared in this study. Articles published in 31 international otorhinolaryngology journals related to hearing originating from the ML, TW and HK from 2000 to 2011 were retrieved from the PubMed database search. The number of total articles, clinical trials, randomized controlled trials, case reports, and articles published in the top 5 international otorhinolaryngology journals were assessed in terms of quantity and quality comparisons. The total number of articles from the three regions increased significantly from 2000 to 2011. There were 379 articles from ML (143), TW (180) and HK (56) in the past 10 years. The number of articles published per year from the ML has exceeded those from TW in 2009 and HK in 2003. TW had the most articles (46) published in the top 5 international otorhinolaryngology journals among the three regions. The total number of articles from the three major regions of China increased significantly from 2000 to 2011. The numbers of articles published per year from the ML have exceeded those from TW and HK. However, the quality of articles from TW is better than that from ML.
听力损失是中国残疾的主要原因之一。然而，中国三个主要地区：中国大陆（ML）、香港（HK）和台湾（TW）人群听力领域的研究现状尚不清楚。本研究比较了这三个地区在国际耳鼻咽喉科学期刊上发表的听力相关文章的产出情况。通过检索PubMed数据库，获取了2000年至2011年期间在31种国际耳鼻咽喉科学期刊上发表的来自中国大陆、台湾和香港的与听力相关的文章。从数量和质量比较方面评估了文章总数、临床试验、随机对照试验、病例报告以及在排名前5的国际耳鼻咽喉科学期刊上发表的文章数量。从2000年到2011年，这三个地区的文章总数显著增加。过去10年中，来自中国大陆的文章有379篇（143篇），台湾的文章有180篇，香港的文章有56篇。中国大陆每年发表的文章数量在2009年超过了台湾，在2003年超过了香港。在这三个地区中，台湾在排名前5的国际耳鼻咽喉科学期刊上发表的文章最多（46篇）。从2000年到2011年，中国三个主要地区的文章总数显著增加。中国大陆每年发表的文章数量超过了台湾和香港。然而，台湾文章的质量优于中国大陆。
