Description
For sample adults and sample children who have been exposed to very loud leisure time noise in the past 12 months (HRISKFUNEV), HRLSPROT reports how often the individual wore ear protection (ear plugs or ear muffs) when exposed to loud noise or music, outside of work.
For a full list of hearing related variables available for all years, see HEARING.
Comparability
In addition to changes in universe, the NHIS questionnaire was substantially redesigned in 2019 to introduce a different data collection structure and new content. For more information on changes in terminology, universes, and data collection methods beginning in 2019, please see the user note.
