Longitudinal Insights into Sensorineural and Noise‐Induced Hearing Loss in Adolescents Aged 13‐18 Years
At age 18, 6.2% of adolescents had SNHL, and 12.9% had signs of probable NIHL. While overall prevalence remained stable from 13 to 18 years, hearing deteriorated in severity, and selective drop-out may have masked an increase. These findings emphasize the importance of continued monitoring and early prevention. Future research should explore the role of recreational noise exposure.
