Non-Hispanic blacks have best hearing in US, new study shows

on Examination Survey (NHANES). In this study, individuals fill out a survey and receive a comprehensive set of tests in a mobile examination center that travels around the U.S.

Hearing loss can be caused by a myriad of factors, such as age, noise exposure (occupational or recreational), developmental syndromes, infectious disease, physical trauma, ototoxic drugs and chemicals, all of which may be influenced by genetic susceptibility. However, it is estimated that at least one third of the cases of hearing impairment stem from overexposure to noise. Estimates of noise exposure in the United States vary, but range from 5 to 30 million persons exposed in the workplace and 16 to 66 million exposed recreationally. Effective prevention programs could therefore make a large impact in reducing then prevalence of hearing loss in the United States.
