However, the association of coffee with hearing and tinnitus has not been well studied. The aim of this study was to investigate the association of coffee with hearing and tinnitus based on a national population-based survey. We evaluated hearing and tinnitus data from the 2009\u20132012 Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey and their relationship with a coffee consumption survey. All patients underwent a medical interview, physical examination, hearing test, tinnitus questionnaire and nutrition examination. Multivariable logistic regression models were used to examine the associations between coffee and hearing loss or tinnitus. We evaluated 13,448 participants (\u226519 years) participants. The frequency of coffee consumption had a statistically significant inverse correlation with bilateral hearing loss in the 40\u201364 years age group. Daily coffee consumers had 50\u201370% less hearing loss than rare coffee consumers, which tended to be a dose-dependent relationship. In addition, the frequency of coffee consumption had an inverse correlation with tinnitus in the 19\u201364 years age group but its association was related with hearing. Brewed coffee had more of an association than instant or canned coffee in the 40\u201364 years age group. These results suggest a protective effect of coffee on hearing loss and tinnitus.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/nu10101429","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,10,4]],"date-time":"2018-10-04T12:29:57Z","timestamp":1538656197000},"page":"1429","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":29,"title":["Association of Coffee Consumption with Hearing and Tinnitus Based on a National Population-Based Survey"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"10","author":[{"given":"Sang-Youp","family":"Lee","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otorhinolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery, Seoul National University College of Medicine, Seoul 03080, Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Gucheol","family":"Jung","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Medical Research Collaborating Center, Seoul National University Hospital, Seoul 03080, Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Myoung-jin","family":"Jang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Medical Research Collaborating Center, Seoul National University Hospital, Seoul 03080, Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Myung-Whan","family":"Suh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otorhinolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery, Seoul National University College of Medicine, Seoul 03080, Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jun Ho","family":"Lee","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otorhinolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery, Seoul National University College of Medicine, Seoul 03080, Korea"},{"name":"Sensory Organ Research Institute, Seoul National University Medical Research Center Seoul, Seoul 03080, Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Seung Ha","family":"Oh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otorhinolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery, Seoul National University College of Medicine, Seoul 03080, Korea"},{"name":"Sensory Organ Research Institute, Seoul National University Medical Research Center Seoul, Seoul 03080, Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Moo Kyun","family":"Park","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otorhinolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery, Seoul National University College of Medicine, Seoul 03080, Korea"},{"name":"Sensory Organ Research Institute, Seoul National University Medical Research Center Seoul, Seoul 03080, Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2018,10,4]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1695","DOI":"10.1039\/C4FO00042K","article-title":"Coffee: Biochemistry and potential impact on health","volume":"5","author":"Ludwig","year":"2014","journal-title":"Food Funct."},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"363","DOI":"10.1080\/10408390903586412","article-title":"Coffee and its consumption: Benefits and risks","volume":"51","author":"Butt","year":"2011","journal-title":"Crit.
