During 2014-2015, adults aged ≥45 years were more likely to find it difficult or be unable to go shopping or go to movies or sporting events as hearing difficulties increased (even with the use of a hearing aid), from 8.1% among those with no difficulty hearing to 16.4% among those with some difficulty hearing, and to 24.3% among those with a lot of difficulty hearing or who were unable to hear. This relationship was found for both men and women. Women were more likely than men to report limitations in these activities at each level of hearing difficulty.
在2014年至2015年期间，45岁及以上的成年人随着听力困难程度的增加（即使使用助听器），更有可能觉得难以或无法去购物、看电影或参加体育赛事，听力无障碍者中这一比例为8.1%，有一定听力困难者中为16.4%，听力有很大困难或无法听见者中为24.3%。男性和女性均呈现这种关系。在每个听力困难程度级别上，女性比男性更有可能报告在这些活动中存在受限情况。
