Background: The association between occupational titles and lung function has mostly been examined through cross-sectional studies. Preventive measures are expected to mitigate adverse effects; hence, updated estimates are necessary.
Aims: To study change in lung function measured by spirometry across occupations.
Objectives: The association between hearing loss and income has only been examined in cross-sectional studies. We aim to study annual increase in earnings over 20 years, comparing people with and without hearing loss.
Design: We used data from a population-based hearing study in Norway (The Trøndelag Health Study, 1996-1998), including 14,825 persons (46.

Background: Knowledge on hearing aid use and benefit is important to ensure appropriate and effective treatment. We aimed to assess prevalence and predictors of hearing aid use and benefit in Norway, as well as possible birth cohort changes.
Methods: We analyzed two large cross-sectional, population-based hearing surveys of 63,182 adults in 1996-1998 and 2017-2019 (the HUNT study).
Purpose: To evaluate the associations between hearing status and hearing aid use and performance on the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) in older adults in a cross-sectional study in Norway.
Methods: This study utilized data from the fourth wave of the Trøndelag Health Study (HUNT4, 2017-2019). Hearing thresholds at frequencies of 0.
Objectives: It has been suggested that noise exposure can accelerate hearing decline after the noise exposure has ceased. We aimed to assess long-term hearing decline in persons with and without prior occupational noise exposure.
Methods: We conducted a population-based longitudinal study in Norway using the Trøndelag Health Study (HUNT) from 1996 to 1998 (baseline) and from 2017 to 2019 (follow-up).
