Notes
ACE touchscreen question "Do you use a hearing aid most of the time?"
Initially this information was collected from all participants answering Yes to either Field 2247 (Field 10793 in the pilot) or Field 2257. When the speech-in-noise hearing test was introduced (2009), program logic was altered so that the information was collected from all participants except those who indicated they were completely deaf, as defined by their answers to Field 2247.
