Limited Competition for the Conservation of Hearing Study (CHEARS) (U01): The National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD) invites applications to renew an ongoing NIDCD-supported cooperative agreement, the Conservation of Hearing Study (CHEARS).This study will allow continued assessment of preventable risk factors for hearing loss in two large, ongoing, longitudinal cohort studies, the Nurses' Health Studies I and II. The continued assessment will utilize the questionnaires developed for the Hearing Supplemental Study and, also, will include repeat audiological exams at follow-up visits three years after the baseline hearing exams to assess incident hearing loss for a subsample (n=3,700) of eligible nurses without hearing loss or only minimal hearing loss initially.
