Numbers and proportions of persons are estimated according to hearing ability and speech comprehension groups by age, sex, race, years of completed education, family income, usual activity, geographic region, place of residence, limitation of activity due to chronic conditions, annual bed days, number of physician contacts, and respondent-assessed health status. Estimates are based on data collected in household interviews during 1990-91.
