摘要

背景：非職業性噪音對聽力的傷害在現代社會愈來愈受重視，其中又以娛樂活動之噪音發展最快，因而造成的聽力喪失也日益增加。
方法：本研究收集22名娛樂活動導致聽力喪失的病人，並檢測娛樂場所的噪音度。
結果：22名病人平均齡36歲，噪音源以隨聽最多（8名），其次為迪斯可舞廳（5名），KTV有4名，其餘如搖滾樂唱會、酒館（pub）、小綱珠（柏青哥）、音響、運動會起跑槍均各1名。聽力圖表現不一，但仍以高音急墜型聽力喪失最多（59%），單側（55%）略多於雙側（45%）。在台北市較流行之娛樂場所中，顧客所承受的噪音以流行樂演唱的酒館為最，其次依序為搖滾樂演唱會、迪斯可舞廳、KTV及小綱珠（柏青哥）店。
結論：由於這些娛樂場所的噪音值均甚高，有導致聽性外傷的潛在危險，宜多加宣導，不容忽視。

Background: There has been increasing concern about the role of non-occupational noise on hearing in modern society. At present, the recreational noise may be the most common non-occupational noise.
Methods: Twenty-two patients with recreational hearing loss were encountered in the past 5 years. This paper also records the noise levels of some popular but noisy place in Taiwan, including live band pub、rock concerts、discotheque、KTV、pachinko, and walkman personal listening device.
Reuslts: All cases were acute acoustic trauma from recreational noise exposure. Tinnitus, fullness sensational and dizziness were frequent associated symptoms. Their audiograms showed asymmetric and variable hearing loss, and were quite different from noise-induced hearing loss.
Conclusions: Part of recreational activities have the potential for dangerous levels of noise exposure. Therefore, overexposure should be prohibited to prevent hearing loss.
