Abstract

BACKGROUND: Exposure to heavy metals has been implicated in adverse auditory health outcomes, yet the precise relationships between heavy metal biomarkers and hearing status remain underexplored. This study leverages a machine learning framework to investigate these associations, offering a novel approach to understanding the interplay between environmental exposures and hearing loss.
