Description
For sample adults who ever used an assistive listening device, this variable indicates whether the respondent used an amplified or vibrating alarm clock. When asking the question for this variable, interviewers handed respondents a card with eight devices and an "other" category listed on it. Respondents could reply yes or no to each of the devices. Neither the Field Representative's Manual nor the survey text provided any further definition of "amplified or vibrating alarm clock."

In 2007, this variable was part of a Sample Adult Hearing Supplement, (sponsored by the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD), which is part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH). The hearing supplement questions were included to address the Healthy People 2010 program initiatives, including increasing access by persons who have hearing impairments to hearing rehabilitation services and adaptive devices (such as cochlear implants), increasing the proportion of persons who have had a hearing examination on schedule, and reducing adult hearing loss in the noise-exposed public.
