Abstract

Screening audiometry was performed during the years 1973-1978 in a total of 11,744 subjects aged 35-50 years. The incidence of those persons having a mean hearing threshold of 30 dB or more at 0.5-2 kHz or of 50 dB or more at 2 kHz varied from 0.3% to 2.7% in males of different age subgroups. The results for females were about two-thirds of those for males. Overall, 1.5% of the Finnish population aged 35-54 years were found to be candidates for hearing rehabilitation.

摘要

1973年至1978年间，对总计11744名年龄在35至50岁的受试者进行了筛查听力测定。在不同年龄亚组的男性中，0.5至2千赫兹平均听力阈值为30分贝或更高、或2千赫兹时为50分贝或更高的人群发生率在0.3%至2.7%之间。女性的结果约为男性的三分之二。总体而言，发现芬兰35至54岁人口中有1.5%的人适合进行听力康复。
