Abstract

Abstract

Objective To investigate the relationship between the use of earphone and hearing impairment and its influencing factors among students aged 14-28, so as to provide a reference for appropriate earphone usage and hearing impairment prevention. Methods A cross-sectional survey was conducted through the questionnaire star platform, and 983 students aged 14 to 28 were recruited across China by snowball-sampling during April 3 to May 1, 2022. The χ² test was used to identify indicators affecting hearing, the Logistic regression model was used to further selection. Results There were 366 students with hearing impairment, accounting for 37.23%. Univariate analysis showed significant differences in hearing impairment by gender, earphone usage duration and volume, wearing during sleep, and replacement frequency (χ²=6.03, 6.86, 14.87, 12.22, 11.15, P < 0.05). The Logistic regression model analysis showed that girls (OR=1.43, 95%CI=1.10-1.88), maximum earphone volume (OR=3.08, 95%CI=1.56-6.08), earphone usage for >1.5-3 h each time (OR=1.44, 95%CI=1.04-1.99), sleep with headphone (OR=1.53, 95%CI=1.11-2.11) were positively associated with hearing impairment (P < 0.05), earphone replacement every 4- < 6 months (OR=0.38, 95%CI=0.17-0.86) and earphone replacement every six months or longer (OR=0.39, 95%CI=0.18-0.85) were negatively associated with hearing impairment (P < 0.05). Conclusion Students aged 14 to 28 earphone usage shows adverse impact on hearing. When using earphone, it is recommended to limit time spent on earphone usage, low the volume of earphone, avoid sleeping with earphone and replace earphone frequently.
