Title

HAIR COLOR AND HEARING LOSS: A SURVEY IN A GROUP OF MILITARY MEN

Pages

  155-160

Abstract

 Introduction:It has been shown that low levels of PIGMENTATION increase susceptibility to NOISE-INDUCED HEARING LOSS in humans. For this reason, white populations develop more pronounced noise- induced HEARING LOSS in comparison to black populations. Similarly, blue-eyed individuals exhibit greater temporary threshold shift than brown-eyed subjects; still, no strong correlation has been verified between the lightness of HAIR COLOR and susceptibility to NOISE-INDUCED HEARING LOSS. This study was performed with the purpose of investigating a possible association between HAIR COLOR and the degree of HEARING LOSS due to firing noise. Study Design: Prospective observational study. Setting: A tertiary referral center with an accredited otorhinolaryngology-head & neck surgery department.Materials and Methods:A total of 57 military recruits were divided into two groups; light-colored (blond and light brown) and dark-colored hair (dark brown and black). The two groups were matched based on history of firing noise exposure (number of rounds; type of weapon) and the level of HEARING LOSS at 2, 3, 4, 6 and 8 kHz sound frequencies was compared between them.Results:The results showed that the mean level of HEARING LOSS of light-colored hair individuals (20.5±17dB) was significantly greater than that of dark-haired subjects (13.5±11dB), (P=0.023).Conclusion:The results indicate that HAIR COLOR (blond versus black) can be used as an index for predicting susceptibility to NOISE-INDUCED HEARING LOSS in military environments. Therefore, based on the individual's HAIR COLOR, upgraded hearing conservation programs are highly recommended.
