Hearing loss and tinnitus are the 2 most prevalent service-connected disabilities among veterans in the United States. Veterans of Operations Enduring Freedom, Iraqi Freedom, and New Dawn have been exposed to multiple hazards associated with these conditions, such as blasts/explosions, ototoxic chemicals, and most notably high levels of noise. We conducted a systematic literature review of evidence on 1) prevalence of, 2) risk and protective factors for, and 3) functional and quality-of-life outcomes of hearing impairment and tinnitus in US Operations Enduring Freedom, Iraqi Freedom, and New Dawn veterans and military personnel. We identified studies published from 2001 through 2013 using PubMed, PsycINFO, REHABDATA, Cochrane Library, pearling, and expert recommendation. Peer-reviewed English language articles describing studies of 30 or more adults were included if they informed one or more key questions. A total of 839 titles/abstracts were reviewed for relevance by investigators trained in critical analysis of literature; 14 studies met inclusion criteria. Of these, 13 studies presented data on prevalence and 4 on risk/protective factors, respectively. There were no included studies reporting on outcomes. Findings from this systematic review will help inform clinicians, researchers, and policy makers on future resource and research needs pertaining to hearing impairment and tinnitus in this newest generation of veterans.

听力障碍和耳鸣:部署在伊拉克和阿富汗战争中的美国服务人员和退伍军人中的患病率,危险因素和结果。

听力损失和耳鸣是美国退伍军人中最常见的与服务相关的2种残疾。持久自由,伊拉克自由和新曙光行动的退伍军人暴露于与这些状况相关的多种危害,例如爆炸/爆炸,耳毒性化学物质,以及最显着的高水平噪音。我们对以下方面的证据进行了系统的文献综述:1)持久自由,伊拉克自由和新黎明美国行动中听力障碍和耳鸣的患病率,2)风险和保护因素以及3)功能和生活质量的结果退伍军人和军事人员。我们使用PubMed,PsycINFO,REHABDATA,Cochrane Library,Pearling和专家推荐,确定了2001年至2013年发表的研究。如果同行评议了一个或多个关键问题,则描述30位或更多成年人的英语经同行评议的文章也包括在内。接受过严格文献分析的研究者对总共839种书名/摘要进行了相关性审查;14项研究符合纳入标准。其中,有13项研究分别提供了患病率数据和4项关于风险/保护因素的数据。没有纳入报告结局的研究。这项系统评价的结果将帮助临床医生,研究人员和政策制定者了解与新一代退伍军人听力障碍和耳鸣有关的未来资源和研究需求。14项研究符合纳入标准。其中,有13项研究分别提供了患病率数据和4项关于风险/保护因素的数据。没有纳入报告结局的研究。这项系统评价的结果将有助于临床医生,研究人员和政策制定者了解与新一代退伍军人听力障碍和耳鸣有关的未来资源和研究需求。14项研究符合纳入标准。其中,有13项研究分别提供了患病率数据和4项关于风险/保护因素的数据。没有纳入报告结局的研究。这项系统评价的结果将有助于临床医生,研究人员和政策制定者了解与新一代退伍军人听力障碍和耳鸣有关的未来资源和研究需求。
