The presence of tinnitus in pregnancy was investigated by a postal questionnaire survey. A group of pregnant women attending the ante-natal clinic and a control group of non-pregnant members of the nursing staff at the Royal United Hospital in Bath were studied. The prevalence of tinnitus in the pregnant and non-pregnant women was compared. Both groups were similar in age, previous noise exposure and the presence of ear disease or operations. Twenty-five per cent of the pregnant women reported tinnitus compared with 11% of the control group. Chi-square analysis of this data gives a value of chi 2 = 4.07, d.f. = 1, P < 0.05. The result of our survey shows that there is significantly increased prevalence of tinnitus in pregnant women compared with a similar non-pregnant control group. This association has not been previously reported.
通过邮寄问卷调查对孕期耳鸣的情况进行了调查。研究了一组在巴斯皇家联合医院产前诊所就诊的孕妇以及该医院护理人员中未怀孕成员组成的对照组。比较了孕妇和非孕妇中耳鸣的患病率。两组在年龄、既往噪声暴露情况以及耳部疾病或手术史方面相似。25%的孕妇报告有耳鸣，而对照组为11%。对该数据进行卡方分析，卡方值为χ² = 4.07，自由度为1，P < 0.05。我们的调查结果表明，与类似的非怀孕对照组相比，孕妇中耳鸣的患病率显著增加。此前尚未有关于这种关联的报道。
