The prevalence of hearing loss in the US population has been estimated from self-reported data1 or in age-restricted cohorts.2 These estimates may not accurately reflect the true burden of hearing loss in the United States. We estimated the overall prevalence of audiometric hearing loss among all individuals (age ≥12 years) in the United States using data from a nationally representative data set and with a definition of hearing loss recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO).
