Abstrakt: Objective: To test the hypothesis that use of cigarettes or other products with either cigarette-like smoke profile or high nicotine content by young populations increases the odds of developing sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL).
Study Design: Retrospective cohort study.
Setting: TriNetX US Collaborative Network (2003-2022).
Patients: Approximately 3.6 million patients at least 18 years old.
Intervention: None.
Main Outcome Measures: The primary outcome of interest was diagnosis of SNHL, defined using medical billing codes ( International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision , Current Procedural Terminology , etc.). Cohort inclusion criteria included electronic health record entry after 2003, age 18 to 54 or 55+ years at index, and status of cigarette, noncigarette nicotine, or cannabis use. Covariates were controlled via 1:1 propensity score matching for SNHL-related conditions, including diabetes mellitus and ischemic diseases. Odds for developing SNHL were calculated against control subjects aged 18 to 54 years who have no record of nicotine/cannabis use.
Results: Odds for developing SNHL are higher for people 18 to 54 years old who use any nicotine product (odds ratio [95% confidence interval], 5.91 [5.71-6.13]), cigarettes only (4.00 [3.69-4.33]), chewing tobacco only (9.04 [7.09-11.63]), or cannabis only (3.99 [3.60-4.44]) compared with control. People 55+ years old who use no products also showed increased odds for SNHL (4.73 [4.63-4.85]).
Conclusions: Both nicotine and smoke exposure seem to be strongly associated with increased odds for developing SNHL, with chewing tobacco having the strongest association.
