AI Article Synopsis
- A study was conducted to assess the incidence of hearing loss among adults during health check-ups and identify influencing factors for prevention, utilizing tools like the Hearing Handicap Inventory for Adults-screening (HHIA-S) and hearing tests.* -
- Out of 3704 participants, only 0.8% reported hearing difficulties, while 1264 individuals failed the hearing screening, with a notable portion of those who self-rated as having normal hearing still failing the test.* -
- Factors such as gender, age, BMI, blood pressure, and plasma glucose levels significantly impacted screening success, with younger females and those with normal health indexes performing better, highlighting the importance of regular hearing screenings in adults.*
Article Abstract
To obtain incidence of hearing loss and the influence factors in adult health check-up population, and to provide supporting information for the prevention of hearing loss. Hearing Handicap Inventory for the Adult-screening（HHIA-S）, electro-otoscopy and pure tone test were used to evaluate subjects'hearing health condition. SPSS 25.0 software was used to perform one-way ANOVA on the results. ①HHIA-S questionnaire results: 3704 subjects completed the questionnaire, 29 subjects（0.8%） were reported hearing difficulties in daily life. ②Hearing screening results: 1264 subjects failed to pass the hearing screening, including 936 male and 328 female subjects. 33.5% subjects with noramlself-rated hearing failed to pass the hearing screening test, and all the patients with abnormal self-rated hearing did not pass the hearing screening.③The passing rate of hearing screening was significantly affected by gender, age, BMI, blood pressure and plasma glucose. The passing rate of hearing screening was higher in female than that in male, in younger than that in elder, in subjects with normal blood pressure, plasma glucose and BMI than those with abnormal above conditions. Aging, abnormal blood pressure, fasting plasma glucose and BMI may have potential risks on hearing health. Therefore, it is of practical significance to carry out hearing screening in adult population. For those adults with abnormal indexes, they should pay close attention to their hearing condition status and monitor their hearing regularly.

Objectives: Auditory brainstem response (ABR) is the gold standard to assess hearing loss in pediatric patients. Multiple widely accepted ABR protocols with varying parameters are accepted, difference in standards may lead to misdiagnosis or delay in diagnosis and treatment. This study investigates the quality of ABR testing in pediatric patients in addition to changes in diagnoses and management.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigated how swallowing difficulties (dysphagia) evolve in stroke patients by examining the relationship between muscle strength and swallowing outcomes over six months.
- Researchers tracked various data points, including diet level and swallowing quality, through multiple assessments after participants suffered their first stroke.
- Findings revealed that while muscle strength improved in the first month, swallowing precision was critical for overall quality of life and function at six months, suggesting a need for early diagnosis in at-risk patients.
