Association between obstructive sleep apnea and hearing loss among a cohort of emergency responders
We report a significant association between OSA and HL among emergency responders. Our results underscore a need for an analysis of the longitudinal association between OSA and HL to identify potential causality and for integrated health interventions that target both conditions in this responder population.
