Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The overall genetic profile for noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL) remains elusive. Herein we proposed a novel machine learning (ML) based strategy to evaluate individual susceptibility to NIHL and identify the underlying genetic risk variants based on a subsample of participants with extreme phenotypes. METHODS: Five features (age, sex, cumulative noise exposure [CNE], smoking, and alcohol drinking...
