  1. ESCAP/WHO Field Results on Hearing Wei Liu liuw@un.org Session 3, Sixth Meeting of the Washington Group on Disability Statistics, Kampala, Oct 10-13, 2006

  2. Questions • W2 Do you have difficulty hearing, even if using a hearing aid? • B1.8 How much difficulty did you have in hearing someone talking on the other side of the room in a normal voice? (take into account hearing aids, if you use them) • B1.9 How much difficulty did you have in hearing what is said in a conversation with one other person in a quiet room? (take into account hearing aids, if you use them)

  3. Sensitivity and Specificity

  4. Sensitivity by Age

  5. Specificity by Age

  6. Sensitivity by Country

  7. Specificity by Country

  8. Endorsement Rates (any difficulty with hearing)

  9. Endorsement rates by Country

  10. Spearman Rank Correlation

  11. Correlation between Hearing Questions and Life Activities Questions

  12. Correspondence Analysis between W2 and B1.8

  13. Correspondence Analysis between W2 and B1.8 (cont.)

  14. Correspondence Analysis between W2 and B1.9

  15. Correspondence Analysis between W2 and B1.9 (cont.)

  16. Results Summary • World Health Survey Questions on hearing that included thresholds were more sensitive. • In general, WG Q showed good specificity but low sensitivity. • WG Q indicated higher sensitivity and lower specificity among older age groups

  17. Results Summary (cont.) • Fiji and Philippines have much lower sensitivity scores • W2 is significantly and moderately correlated with B1.8 and B1.9 • B1.8 and B1.9 are significantly and highly correlated with each other
