Title: Factors Related to Hearing Loss in the Uninsured Population

ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: UC Davis IRB#2083097

Description of Research Study: There is currently no data describing the hearing loss rate among the uninsured population. By measuring the hearing loss rate among the uninsured population, we would be able to report the rate of hearing loss in this unique population, and shed light on contributing factors and associated disabilities that result from the hearing loss.  Data collection will occur at local Sacramento Student-run clinics.
