摘要

目的

梳理年龄相关性听力损失（age-related hearing loss， ARHL）临床研究的演进逻辑，揭示研究热点动态变化及国际合作特征，预测未来研究趋势。

方法

基于web of science核心数据库，对2005～2024年的英文出版物进行检索。运用VOSviewer和citespace进行文献计量学分析。

结果

ARHL临床研究热度持续攀升，发表文献量年均增长率达28.8%。2014年、2017年和2023年先后出现增速跃升节点。研究热点从早期流行病学调查（2005～2010年）转向共病机制研究（2011～2016年），近年，聚焦于认知损害关联（2017～2024年）。

结论

近20年间ARHL的临床研究国际格局呈现一体化与多极化并行趋势。完成了从外周转向中枢、从单学科探索转向多学科及公共卫生领域、从观察性研究转向干预性实验的3大转变。当前研究热点集中于ARHL与认知功能减退的因果机制、干预效果异质性及多模态代偿机制。

Abstract

Objective

To investigate the evolutionary trajectory of clinical research on Age-Related Hearing Loss (ARHL)

reveal the dynamic shifts in research hotspots and patterns of international collaboration

and forecast future research trends.

Methods

English-language publications from 2005 to 2024 were retrieved from the Web of Science Core Collection. VOSviewer

CiteSpace

and Microsoft Excel 2021 were used for bibliometric analysis and visualization.

Results

The volume of clinical research on ARHL has increased steadily

with an average annual growth rate of 28.8%. Notable surges were observed in 2014

2017

and 2023. Research focus shifted from early epidemiological investigations (2005-2010)

to comorbidity mechanisms (2011-2016)

and recently

to associations with cognitive impairment (2017-2024).

Conclusion

Over the past two decades

the global research landscape of ARHL demonstrates both increasing integration and diversification. It has undergone three major paradigm shifts: from peripheral auditory mechanisms to central nervous system involvement

from single-discipline research to multidisciplinary integration involving clinical medicine and public health

and from observational studies to to interventional research and precision medicine approaches. Current research hotspots focus on the causal mechanisms linking ARHL and cognitive impairment

difference in intervention outcomes

and multisensory compensation strategies.
