Hearing Loss in Adults: Relation to Age, Sex, Exposure to Loud Noise, and Cigarette Smoking
Abstract
Auditory sensitivity was studied in 33, 146 white men and women age 30 to 59 years in relation to age, sex, noise exposure, and cigarette smoking to assess the possible contribution of each of these factors to hearing loss. Significant hearing loss (40 dB or more at 4,000 hertz) was more frequent in men than in women, increased with age, and was greater in those reporting exposure to loud noise, and slightly greater in male cigarette smokers than in male non-smokers.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
