Here’s a summary of the study so far:

Title: Adverse childhood experiences and hearing loss: the mediating role of sleep disorders in a Chinese cohort
Source: BMC Psychiatry, Volume 25, Article 1098 (2025)

Introduction

  • Background: Adverse childhood experiences (ACE) are strongly linked to chronic diseases, but their connection to hearing loss (HL) and underlying mediators like sleep disorders is not well understood.
  • Objective: To investigate whether sleep disorders mediate the relationship between ACE and HL in middle-aged and older Chinese adults.

Methods

  • Participants: 7,534 individuals aged ≥45 years from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS).
  • Measures:
    • ACE assessed retrospectively by 12 items, score ranges 0–12, analyzed continuously and by quartiles.
    • Hearing loss (HL) defined by self-reported fair/poor hearing or hearing-aid use.
    • Sleep disorders indicated by restless sleep occurring ≥1 day per week.
  • Analysis: Logistic regression and causal mediation models were adjusted for socio-demographic, behavioral, and clinical factors.

Results

  • Mean ACE score was 3.6 ± 1.8.
  • 47.2% reported sleep disorders.
  • Participants with ≥5 ACEs had a 1.63-fold higher odds of HL compared to those with 0 ACEs (95% CI: 1.22–2.18; p = ???) — Unfortunately, the significance value and further results are cut off.
