I was curious about that figure - here's the breakdown: Percent of adults with hearing trouble: 16.2% Percent of adults with vision trouble: 9.4% Percent of adults unable (or very difficult) to walk a quarter mile: 7.3% Percent of adults with any physical functioning difficulty: 15.6% The hearing disability is described as: Overall, 16% of adults aged 18 years and over experienced some hearing difficulty without a hearing aid (defined as ‘‘a little trouble hearing,’’ ‘‘moderate trouble,’’ ‘‘a lot of trouble,’’ or ‘‘deaf’’). Men were more likely to have experienced hearing trouble than women. The report is interesting. http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/fastats/disable.htm http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/fastats/disable.htm
