Following is a response from DHS staff member, Tom Pullum:

Here is the distribution of hdis4, the question about difficulty hearing, in that data file.  About 3% of children are reported by the household respondent to have some degree of difficulty. The disability variables are under-used, as you say, and I encourage you to try to work with them. The table below gives weighted frequencies.
