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.
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 Survey. 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 multivariable logistic regression after adjusting for covariates.
The prevalence of presbycusis in South Korean adults was 62.1%, of which 61.4% showed moderate to severe presbycusis. The incidence of moderate-to-severe, but not mild, presbycusis showed a significant positive correlation with sleep duration.
Our findings suggest that sleep duration is associated with the prevalence of presbycusis.
睡眠时间与听力损失有关，尤其是与最常见的听力损失类型老年性聋有关；然而，在韩国人群中，关于这种关联的证据有限。我们旨在确定40岁及以上韩国成年人的睡眠时间与高频听力损失之间的关系。
我们对5547名40岁及以上的韩国成年人进行了检查，这些人在韩国国家健康与营养检查调查2010 - 2012周期中完成了听力测试和关于睡眠时间的问卷调查。轻度老年性聋定义为双耳高频（3000、4000和6000赫兹）纯音平均听阈>25分贝（dB）且<40 dB，而中度至重度老年性聋定义为双耳高频纯音平均听阈>40 dB。此外，睡眠时间分为四分位数。在调整协变量后，使用多变量逻辑回归估计比值比和95%置信区间。
韩国成年人中老年性聋的患病率为62.1%，其中61.4%为中度至重度老年性聋。中度至重度而非轻度老年性聋的发病率与睡眠时间呈显著正相关。
我们的研究结果表明，睡眠时间与老年性聋的患病率有关。
