Abstract

The prevalence of noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL) in current motorcycle grand prix racers was investigated. A total of 44 riders was randomly recruited and underwent interview, otological examination and pure tone audiometry. The median age was 28 (range 18-37) years and median racing experience was 10 (range 2-21) years. Twenty riders (45%) had hearing losses greater than expected for age matched controls. Not surprisingly this hearing deficit tended to increase with racing experience (r = 0.5, t = 2.51, 19 d.f., P < 0.05). Only 17 riders (39%) were regular users of earplugs and only nine had used them for most of their racing careers. There is a need to raise awareness to this problem and increase the use of earplugs to avoid NIHL in grand prix motorcyclists.

摘要

对当前摩托车大奖赛赛车手噪声性听力损失（NIHL）的患病率进行了调查。共随机招募了44名车手，他们接受了访谈、耳科检查和纯音听力测定。中位年龄为28岁（范围18 - 37岁），中位赛车经验为10年（范围2 - 21年）。20名车手（45%）的听力损失大于年龄匹配对照组的预期。不出所料，这种听力缺陷往往随着赛车经验的增加而增加（r = 0.5，t = 2.51，自由度为19，P < 0.05）。只有17名车手（39%）经常使用耳塞，只有9名车手在其大部分赛车生涯中都使用耳塞。有必要提高对这个问题的认识，并增加耳塞的使用，以避免大奖赛摩托车手出现噪声性听力损失。
