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 non-married vs married participants were 1.6 [95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.0-2.5] for Mexican-Americans and 2.2 (95% CI = 1.2-4.2) for Puerto Ricans. ORs ranged from 1.6 to 3.2 for unemployed vs employed, and from 1.7 to 2.1 for uninsured vs insured Hispanics. For Mexican-Americans, the OR of hearing aid use for those living below vs above the poverty line was 9.1 (95% CI = 1.1-100.0). These results are consistent with those reported for other ethnic groups.
我们利用西班牙裔健康与营养检查调查的数据，研究了成年西班牙裔中听力损失及助听器使用情况与社会人口统计学因素之间的关联。在对年龄和性别进行调整后，墨西哥裔美国人中未婚与已婚参与者相比，听力障碍的比值比（OR）为1.6[95%置信区间（CI）=1.0 - 2.5]，波多黎各人则为2.2（95%CI = 1.2 - 4.2）。失业与就业的西班牙裔相比，OR范围为1.6至3.2，未参保与参保的西班牙裔相比，OR范围为1.7至2.1。对于墨西哥裔美国人，生活在贫困线以下与以上的人群使用助听器的OR为9.1（95%CI = 1.1 - 100.0）。这些结果与其他种族群体报告的结果一致。
