                QuickStats: Percentage of Adults Aged ≥18 Years with Trouble Hearing,* by Sex and Race/Ethnicity † — National Health Interview Survey, United States, 2012 §
                Weekly
                October 3, 2014 / 63(39);876-876
                * Based on responses to the following question: "Without the use of hearing aids or other listening devices, is your hearing excellent, good, a little trouble hearing, moderate trouble, a lot of trouble, or are you deaf?" For this figure, "a little trouble hearing," "moderate trouble," "a lot of trouble, " and "deaf" are combined into a single category, "trouble hearing." Unknowns were not included in the denominators when calculating percentages of "trouble hearing."
                † Refers to persons who are of Hispanic ethnicity and might be of any race or combination of races. "Non-Hispanic" refers to all persons who are not of Hispanic ethnicity, regardless of race.
                § Estimates are based on household interviews of a sample of the noninstitutionalized U.S. civilian population and are age adjusted to the projected 2000 U.S. population as the standard population using four age groups: 18–44, 45–64, 65–74, and ≥75 years.
                ¶ 95% confidence interval.
                ** Includes other races/ethnicities not shown separately.
                Overall, in 2012, non-Hispanic white adults were more likely to report having trouble hearing compared with Hispanic adults and non-Hispanic black adults. Men (18%) were more likely to report having trouble hearing than women (12%). Among Hispanic and non-Hispanic white adults, men were more likely to report having trouble hearing; however, this pattern was not observed for non-Hispanic black adults, among whom no statistically significant difference was observed between men and women.
