Hearing thresholds at conventional and extended high frequencies in young personal devices' users: A

Original language description

Introduction: The exposure to unsafe sound levels is considered a risk factor for developing noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL). Personal listening devices (PLDs) represent a common source of recreational noise among young adults. First changes of NIHL could be detected at extended high frequencies (EHFs). Aim: This pilotstudy aimed to analyze hearingthresholds at conventional frequencies (CFs) and EHFs in young adults due to the PLD use. Methods: Hearing thresholds of114 otologically normal adults aged 18 to 30years unexposed to occupational noise were assessed using conventional and extended high-frequency audiometry. Data on PLD use, leisure time noise exposure, health and lifestyle, were acquired using a questionnaire. Results: Differences in hearingthresholds were found at CFs but not at EHFs accordingto the listeningfrequency (daily vs less frequent listening); duration of one PLD use of more than 30 minutes; and total listeningtime &gt;= 7 hours/week. Onlythe highest frequency was affected by loud volume listening. Conclusions: Changes in hearing thresholds were found at CFs, whereby long duration, high volume and daily use were associated with lower hearing thresholds in otologically healthy adults.
