Impact of Blood Group on Contralateral Suppression of Otoacoustic Emissions, Speech Perception in Noise, and Binaural Integration

Understanding the relationship between blood groups (A, B, AB, and O) and auditory functioning can provide valuable insights into individual differences in hearing ability and potential risks for hearing loss. OBJECTIVE: To assess the impact of blood group on auditory functions....

✦ Clinical Takeaway ✦

No actionable change — findings are exploratory and no clinical guidance should be altered based on blood-group associations with auditory function until replicated in larger, well-controlled studies.

✦ Why It Matters ✦

If blood group is confirmed as a biological variable affecting auditory processing, it could inform personalised risk stratification for hearing difficulties, though this remains speculative at present.

✦ Key Points ✦

01Study tested whether ABO blood type is associated with contralateral suppression of otoacoustic emissions (OAEs).
