Ages were > 50 years, except for the ELHS data which ranged from 48 to 89 years. PTA4 is the pure-tone average for 500, 1000, 2000, and 4000 Hz in the better ear.
HHIE/A-S refers to the 10-item screening version of either the HHIE or HHIA, whichever was used in that study. Only the Mayo dataset is exclusively from the HHIA-S.
The EHLS HHIE-S data were extracted from Figure 9 of Wilson et al. (2010) and only partial demographic information was available in that article for this subset of male Veterans and non-Veterans of the EHLS1 cohort.
