Adults 65+ with a Hearing Difficulty

County: Christian

Measurement Period: 2018-2022

This indicator shows the percentage of the population aged 65 and over who are deaf or have some serious difficulty hearing.

Why is this important?

Hearing loss is one of the most common conditions affecting older adults. Hearing impairment can impose a social and economic burden on individuals and families. In adults, hearing impairment often makes it difficult to obtain, perform, and maintain employment. It also makes it difficult to respond to warnings or hear doorbells/alarms, and to understand and follow a doctor's advice. Hearing impairment can lead to depression, withdrawal, or isolation, as it can be hard to make conversation with friends and family and lead to frustration or embarrassment.

Technical note: The U.S. Census Bureau calculates 90% confidence intervals for American Community Survey estimates. Use caution when interpreting values with wide confidence intervals. Confidence intervals that are farther away from estimates in either direction indicate uncertainty due to small survey sample sizes. The U.S. Census Bureau does not recommend comparing overlapping 5-year periods since much of the data in each estimate are the same. Use caution when comparing estimates for census tracts over time as these geographies are redefined with each decennial census according to population changes.
