Hearing levels of Children by Demographic and Socioeconomic Characteristics, United States
Abstract:
This is the second report on the hearing levels of children 6-11 years of age in the noninstitutionalized population of the United States based on data obtained by individual pure-tone air-conduction-audiometric testing in the Health Examination Survey of 1963-65. It contains these findings across selected demographic and socioeconomic variables. The Health Examination Survey is one of the major programs of the National Center for Health Statistics authorized under the National Health Survey Act of 1956 by the 84th Congress as a continuing Public Health Service function to determine the health status of the population.
