Figure 3. Neighborhood predictors of infant hearing loss.

Figure 3.

(A) The probability of infant hearing loss, here represented as contours, closely coincides with neighborhoods with high ADI values (more disadvantaged). Higher neighborhood ADI is a strong predictor of individual hearing loss. Adjustment for infant race, however, attenuated the influence of ADI on hearing loss. (B) Infant hearing loss is more common in neighborhoods with a high prevalence of CMV among pregnant women. Infant hearing loss is associated with higher numbers of CMV seropositive mothers and with lower numbers of CMV seronegative mothers within 1 km. Adjustment for infant race largely eliminated this effect.
