[Prevalence of hearing loss in Northern and Southern Germany. German version].

CONCLUSION: Adjusted for gender and age to the European Standard Population (ESP), the prevalence of hearing impairment observed both in HÖRSTAT and the Aalen sample is considerably lower than reported for international studies. Since the analysis refers to cross-sectional data only, possible cohort effects are not considered in the prevalence projection. PMID: 28271167 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
