abstract: 'OBJECTIVE: To investigate the association between hearing status,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
socioeconomic status and work status.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
PARTICIPANTS: Cross-sectional data of 18 64 year old participants (N =
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
1888) from the National Longitudinal Study on Hearing (NL-SH) were used.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Both normal hearing and hearing impaired subjects participated.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
METHODS: Hearing ability in noise was measured with the National Hearing
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
test, an online speech-in-noise test. Educational level, monthly income,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
being primary income earner and working status (i.e., paid employment,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
unemployed and looking for work, unfit for work, voluntary work,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
household work, being a student, or taking early retirement, and the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
type of work contract) were assessed with a questionnaire. Logistic
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
regression analyses were applied.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
RESULTS: Participants with poorer hearing ability were less likely to be
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
found in the upper categories of educational level and income, having
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
paid work > 12 hours per week, being a student, or taking early
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
retirement. On the other hand they were more likely to look for work or
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
to be unfit for work. No associations were found with voluntary work and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
household work.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
DISCUSSION: Hearing ability seems to be related to both socioeconomic
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
status and being employed. Our findings underline the importance of
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
rehabilitation programs in audiology, aimed at supporting people with
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
hearing impairment to help them to successfully enter or re-enter the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
workforce.'
