<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\nThe study<\/a> was published in May of 2018 in the journal JAMA Otolaryngology \u2013 Head & Neck Surgery. <\/em>The research was conducted by experts at the Department of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery at the University of California, Irvine and the Department of Otolaryngology and Laryngology at Harvard Medical School.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Study Methods<\/h3>\n\n\n\nResearchers used data from the CDC collected for the National Health Interview Survey (NHIS) between 2007 and 2015. For the survey, participants ranked their hearing abilities as excellent, good, a little trouble hearing, moderate trouble hearing, a lot of trouble hearing of deaf. Types of injury were classified as driving-related, work-related or leisure\/sport-related.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Study Results<\/h3>\n\n\n\nOf the total number, 2.8% of participants reported an accidental injury at some point in the previous three months. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The types of injuries are broken down as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n- Driving-related injury: <\/strong>There was no statistical difference based on hearing status.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Work-related injury: <\/strong>The groups with good hearing and little trouble hearing were more likely to report an injury than those with excellent hearing or more severe hearing problems.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Leisure\/sport-related injury: <\/strong>0.8% of those with excellent hearing reported an injury compared to 1.4% of those who considered themselves deaf.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Overall, the rate of accidental injury increased from 2.4% for those with excellent hearing to 4.8% for those who reported a lot of trouble hearing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Preventing an Injury<\/h2>\n\n\n\nResearchers suggest that, \u201cIncreased awareness about hearing difficulty and its proper screening and management may assist in decreasing accidental injury.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This claim is backed by another study<\/a>, published in September 2019 in the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society. <\/em>This study found that use of hearing aids is associated with a delayed diagnosis of injurious falls.
