Description
For sample adults who currently have a hearing aid, but have not used one in the past 12 months, or who have ever used a hearing aid (but not currently), or who have had a hearing aid recommended, HRANOHELP indicates that the reason why the respondent does not use the aid is because they feel it didn't help.
