TLDR
The finding of increased loss at 2 kHz suggests that the effects of noise damage may continue long after the noise exposure has stopped, and that the noise-damaged ear does not 'age' at the same rate as the non-noise damaged ear.About:

Acceleration of Age-Related Hearing Loss by Early Noise Exposure: Evidence of a Misspent Youth
TL;DR: Comparing noise-induced and age-related hearing loss in groups of CBA/CaJ mice exposed identically but at different ages and held with unexposed cohorts for different postexposure times suggests that pathologic but sublethal changes initiated by early noise exposure render the inner ears significantly more vulnerable to aging.

Cochlear synaptopathy in acquired sensorineural hearing loss:Manifestations and mechanisms
TL;DR: Work described here will review structural and functional manifestations of this cochlear synaptopathy and will consider possible mechanisms underlying its appearance and progression in ears with and without traditional 'hearing loss' arising from several common causes in humans.

Diabetes and Hearing Impairment in the United States: Audiometric Evidence from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, 1999 to 2004
TL;DR: Whether hearing impairment is more prevalent among U.s. adults who report a diagnosis of diabetes than those who report no diagnosis and whether differences in prevalence by diabetes status occur predominantly in specific U.S. population subgroups are examined.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ageing and hearing loss
TL;DR: The structure and function of the inner ear, pathophysiology associated with age‐related hearing loss (ARHL), heritability, allelism and modifier genes of ARHL, and genetic analyses for identification of genetic factors that are involved are reviewed.

Age-related hearing loss or presbycusis.
Qi Huang,Jianguo Tang +1 more
TL;DR: The pathophysiology; heritability, susceptibility genes and other risk factors including environmental, medical, especially free radical (ROS) and damage of mitochondrial DNA; and some strategies of treatment, as well as promising rehabilitations associating with presbycusis are reviewed.

The relation of hearing in the elderly to the presence of cardiovascular disease and cardiovascular risk factors.
TL;DR: Low-frequency hearing was related to cardiovascular disease events in both genders but more in the women, and five groups of risk factors were studied: hypertension and blood pressure; diabetes, glucose intolerance, and blood glucose level; smoking status and number of pack-years of cigarettes; relative weight; and serum lipid levels.

Cigarette Smoking and Hearing Loss The Epidemiology of Hearing Loss Study
Karen J. Cruickshanks,Ronald Klein,Barbara E.K. Klein,Terry L. Wiley,David M. Nondahl,Ted S. Tweed +5 more
TL;DR: The data suggest that environmental exposures may play a role in age-related hearing loss and modification of smoking habits may prevent or delay age- related declines in hearing sensitivity.
Speech Understanding and Aging
TL;DR: Standard tests of physical health should include tests of ability to hear and understand speech as well as the routine pure-tone audiogram, and speech tests should involve realistic conditions of noise and message redundancy.

Hearing loss in the elderly: an epidemiologic study of the Framingham Heart Study Cohort
TL;DR: This study used epidemiologic methods to examine hearing loss in the elderly and found that age was by far the most critical risk factor and women had significantly better hearing than men at 2 kHz and above.

Study of Noise and Hearing in Jute Weaving
TL;DR: A retrospective study of hearing in a female population exposed to weaving noise is described, finding an initial deterioration in the first 10–15 years of exposure, followed by a period of about 10– 15 years where deterioration attributable to noise is small.
