Summary

Description

[This data](https://s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/londondatastore-upload/registered-deaf-or-hard-of-hearing-by-age-group.xls) shows the number of people registered with Councils with Social Services Responsibilities (CSSRs) as being deaf or hard of hearing by age group. Age groups are: 0-17, 18-64, 65-74, 75 and over. Numbers are rounded to nearest five. The data are compiled from the triennial return SSDA 910 which is submitted to The Information Centre (The IC). People who are registered as deaf or hard of hearing that are also blind or partially sighted are recorded on the Register of Blind and Partially Sighted Persons (SSDA 902 form), unless stated these are excluded from this report. Data on these by category of disability is available here: http://data.london.gov.uk/dataset/number-registered-blind-and-partially-sighted-people-additional-disability-categor and by age here: http://data.london.gov.uk/dataset/number-registered-blind-and-partially-sighted-people-age-group-borough. All ages total includes some cases where the age was not known. Therefore the age groups may not add to the total. Regional totals are estimated to take account of missing data. Dash ("-") means a local authority was unable to submit details on the number of people registered as being deaf and hard of hearing.
