Declarations

: The HUNT data collection was approved by the Norwegian Data Protection Authority. Participation was based on an informed written consent. When a participant’s ability to consent was reduced, based on the judgment of health personnel in nursing homes and assessors, informed written consent was provided by the closest proxy. The HUNT participants have consented to linkage to the many high-quality health and administrative registries in Norway, including Statistics Norway (Statistisk sentralbyrå) used in this project. The study received ethical approval from the Regional Committees for Medical and Health Research Ethics (‘23178 HUNT hørsel’) in accordance with the Norwegian Act on Medical and Health Research (“Helseforskningsloven”).
