这项研究向政策制定者和第三方支付者通报了美国严重至重度听力受损人群的患病率和特征。在与一个专家咨询小组协商后，使用了具有国家代表性的数据进行估算。美国人口中重度至极重度听力障碍的患病率从464，000到738，000不等，其中54%的人口年龄超过65岁。听力障碍者更有可能获得公共保险，不太可能获得私人保险，家庭收入较低，受教育程度较低，并且比一般人群更有可能失业。与美国人口相比，大约有50万美国人患有严重到严重的听力障碍，在经济和教育方面似乎更脆弱。因此，获得医疗和技术干预，可能会帮助他们的听力损失可能是有限的。
This study informs policy makers and third-party payers of the prevalence and characteristics of the severely to profoundly hearing-impaired population in the United States. Nationally representative data were used for estimations in consultation with an expert advisory panel. The prevalence of severe to profound hearing impairment among the US population ranges from 464,000 to 738,000, with 54 percent of this population over age 65 years. Persons with hearing impairment are more likely to be publicly insured, less likely to have private insurance, have lower family incomes, are less educated, and are more likely to be unemployed than the general population. Approximately half a million Americans are severely to profoundly hearing impaired and appear to be more vulnerable, both financially and educationally, as compared to the US population. As a result, access to medical and technological interventions that may assist their hearing loss may be limited.
