Characteristics of hearing aid users (HAU) and non-users (NU).
| HAU n = 223 | NU n = 215 | Total n = 438 | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Males, n (%) | 156 (70.0) | 116 (54.0) | 272 (62.1) |
| Females, n (%) | 67 (30.0) | 99 (46.0) | 166 (37.9) |
| Age in years, mean (SD) | 71.9 (6.2) | 70.2 (5.2) | 71.1 (5.8) |
| PTA in dB HL, mean (SD) | 43.5 (12.3) | 23.8 (9.6) | 33.8 (14.8) |
