Figures & data
Table 1. Sample description.
Figure 1. Hearing thresholds, firearm use, and sex. Regression coefficients are given in dB with 95% confidence intervals for log10(lifetime number of shots) as a function of sex, adjusted for age, education, occupational noise exposure, recurrent ear infections, and head injury. The regression coefficients represent mean differences in the worst ear hearing threshold for each increase in the number of lifetime shots by a factor of 10.
Figure 2. Hearing thresholds, firearm use, and age in men. Average marginal effects on the hearing threshold are given in dB with 95% confidence intervals for log10(lifetime number of shots) as a function of age in men, adjusted for education, occupational noise exposure, recurrent ear infections, and head injury. Average marginal effects represent mean differences in the worst ear hearing threshold for each increase in the number of lifetime shots by a factor of 10.
Figure 3. Hearing thresholds, firearm use, and cohort in men. Average marginal effects on the hearing threshold are given in dB with 95% confidence intervals for exposure to recreational firearm use as a function of cohort in men, adjusted for age, education, occupational noise exposure, recurrent ear infections, and head injury. Average marginal effects represent mean differences in the worst ear hearing threshold between exposed and non-exposed groups.
Figure 4. Hearing thresholds, firearm use, cohort, and age in men. Average marginal effects on the hearing threshold are given in dB with 95% confidence intervals for exposure to recreational firearm use as a function of cohort and age in men, adjusted for sex, education, occupational noise exposure, recurrent ear infections, and head injury. Average marginal effects represent mean differences in the worst ear hearing threshold between exposed and non-exposed groups.
