摘要

背景：探討交通噪音對交通警員聽力的影響。
方法：30歲以下台北市交通大隊警員中，篩選無耳疾既往歷的60名男性與15名女性，並分析他們的純音聽力閾值。
結果：在台北市工作未超過3年的男性警員中16.7%可能有噪音性聽障，工作3年以上的警員則有23.3%；而在台北市工作未超過3年的男性警員與工作3年以上者，在3000Hz以上的平均聽力閾值有顯著差異。所有女性警員各頻率的聽力閾值均在25dB HL以內。

Background: Study the effect of traffic noise on hearing ability of police offcers.
Method: Sixty male and 15 female traffic police officers were chosen. All of the officers chosen are under 30 years of age and have no previous history of otological diseases.
Result: Among the male officers who have worked for three years or less in Taipei, 16.7% are likely to have noiseinduced hearing loss, while 23.3% of the male officers worked for over three years in Taipei developed hearing loss. Between male officers who worked for less than 3 years and the ones who worked for over 3 years, there is a significant difference in the average pure tone hearing threshold above 3000 Hz. For all the female police officers, the hearing threshold in all frequencies are below 25 dB HL.
Conclusions: The longer the male traffic police officers work in Taipei, the worse their hearing ability are.
