摘要
We examined sociodemographic correlates of hearing loss and hearing aid use in adult Hispanics using data from the Hispanic Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. After adjustment for age and gender, odds ratios (ORs) of hearing impairment for nonmarried vs married participants were 1.6 [95% confidence interval (Cl) = 1.0-2.5] for Mexican-Americans and 2.2 (95% Cl = 1.2-4.2) for Puerto Ricans. ORs ranged from 1.6 to 3.2 for unemployed us employed, and from 1.7 to 2.1 for uninsured us insured Hispanics. For Mexican-Americans, the OR of hearing aid use for those living below us above the poverty line was 9.1 (95% CI = 1.1-100.0). These results are consistent with those reported for other ethnic groups.
