Abstract

This paper is the result of an epidemiologic study of HEARING LOSS based on 1/3 of a sample size of 59, 678 of people aged 5 years and older. Subjects were chosen by random systematic and cluster sampling (each cluster made up of 15 households).The data belongs to the "General Assessment of the Welfare Needs of the Society," undertaken by the University of Welfare and Rehabilitation Sciences.Prevalence of bilateral HEARING LOSS based on Pure-Tone Average (PTA) above 40 dB HL, was 2.6 percent in the country, which was more than 2/1 percent of the world prevalence for all ages, as announced by WHO. Prevalence of this HEARING LOSS was 2.5 percent in men and 2.0 percent in women. Prevalence in rural areas was 2.8 percent and in urban areas 2.2 percent. Prevalence of bilateral profound HEARING LOSS (more than 90 dB HL) was 2.3 per thousand. Fitting multivariate logistic regression to the data showed that HEARING LOSS increased with age. Gender and living environment had significant effect, with more bilateral profound HEARING LOSS in men than in women, and more in those from rural areas (p<0/04). In most of the cases, the cause of HEARING LOSS was congenital and the diseases were on the next step. Aging had increasing effect on HEARING LOSS.
