摘要

背景:美国最近批准销售非处方(OTC)助听器。研究表明,消费者更喜欢与自己肤色相匹配的助听器,因为这些助听器不太引人注目。肤色歧视是对肤色相对较深的人的歧视,表现为 "肤色 "产品主要以相对较浅的颜色提供:这项研究将美国食品和药物管理局(FDA)注册的非处方助听器图像与一系列人类肤色进行了比较:结果:大多数非处方助听器只提供相对较浅的米色。很少有肤色较深的非处方助听器:这些发现可能代表了结构性偏差,阻碍了肤色较深的人公平地获得深肤色的非处方助听器。

Over-the-Counter (OTC) Hearing Aid Availability across the Spectrum of Human Skin Colors.

Background: Over-the-counter (OTC) hearing aids were recently approved for sale in the United States. Research has shown that consumers prefer hearing devices that match their skin color because these devices are less noticeable. Colorism is discrimination against individuals with relatively darker skin that manifests in "skin-color" product offerings as products being offered primarily in relatively lighter colors.

Methods: This study compared images of U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-registered over-the-counter hearing aids to a range of human skin colors.

Results: Most over-the-counter hearing aids are only offered in relatively lighter beige colors. Few over-the-counter hearing aids are available in darker skin colors.

Conclusions: These findings may represent structural bias, preventing equitable access to darker skin-color OTC hearing aids for individuals with darker skin.
