Supplementary notes

"All hearing loss is defined as any hearing loss above 20 dB, ranging from mild to complete in severity"
* Rates are age-adjusted. Age-standardised rate (ASR) is a summary measure of the rate that a population would have if it had a standard age structure. Standardization is necessary when comparing several populations that differ with respect to age because age has a powerful influence on hearing loss.
