Logistic regression model: explaining the use of hearing protection (n.a.: not applicable).

Originally nineteen items were put into the equation: Gender, age, smoking, education level, education level of the mother, education level of the father, temporary tinnitus after loud music, NRS score temporary NIT and permanent tinnitus, persistence of NIT, fear of permanent tinnitus, subjective temporary hearing loss, score on the YANS, score on the BAHPHL, frequency discotheque visit, rating discotheque loudness, frequency music instrument playing, frequency use of PLD’s and volume settings of PLD’s. The current table shows the variables that yielded statistical significance. Nagelkerke R2 was 0.3 meaning 30% of the variance was explained by the current model.
