Some of the most important features of ageing are hearing and vision impairments. Unrecognized these impairments have detrimental effects on the older individual’s welfare by interfering with communication, activities of daily life, and social engagement.

Hearing loss is the commonest sensory disability worldwide, and the World Health Organisation has estimated that 278 million people suffer a moderate to profound hearing loss in both ears, with 80 per cent of deaf and hearing-impaired people living in low- and middle-income countries (WHO 2006).

Disorders of hearing and balance
Reviews in Clinical Gerontology, 1993The cochleovestibular system is unique in that the peripheral labyrinth subserves two senses, hearing and balance, while the central auditory and vestibular connections diverge within the central nervous system and interact with a multiplicity of information from other sensory inputs.

Genes related to hearing disorders
Acta Oto-Laryngologica, 2004The inner ear is a highly specialized organ and the mechanisms of its function are complex and have not yet fully been elucidated. For example, there are questions such as how the stereocilia characteristics of hair cells are regularly arranged, how the reactions of stereocilia and ion channels of hair cells to sound are controlled, and how the ion ...

Hearing Loss in Mitochondrial Disorders
Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 2005Abstract: Hearing loss is a common clinical feature in mitochondria‐syndrome disorders. The underlining molecular etiology of hearing loss has not been fully investigated. In this study, 83 patients with mitochondrial syndromic hearing loss were evaluated clinically and their blood and tissue samples were examined molecularly.

Music exposure and hearing disorders: An overview [PDF]
International Journal of Audiology, 2009 It has been generally accepted that excessive exposure to loud music causes various hearing symptoms (e.g. tinnitus) and consequently leads to a risk of permanent hearing damage, known as noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL). Such potential risk of NIHL due to loud music exposure has been widely investigated in musicians and people working in music venues.

Screening of hearing disorders in schoolchildren
American Journal of Otolaryngology, 1982A program of screening hearing in schoolchildren based in part on the teacher's observations of behavioral, language, and learning problems has been initiated. Every child identified as suffering from "school pathology" is referred to the school nurse, who arranges for otolaryngologic evaluation, including a complete otologic examination and audiologic

The Immune System in Hearing Disorders
Acta Oto-Laryngologica, 1988Cellular and humoral immune reactions may play a role in the ethiopathogenesis of audiovestibular dysfunction. Immune-mediated inner ear disorders can be of cochlear and retrocochlear origin. Autoimmunity plays a certain role, but is certainly not obligatory. Anti-inflammatory treatment remains the mainstay of therapy.

Hearing and Speech Disorders in Childhood *
Developmental Medicine & Child Neurology, 1961Success in the training and education of deaf children largely depends on finding them young. This can be greatly facilitated by recognising which babies are ‘at risk’ because they or their mothers have been exposed to known causes of deafness. By analysing these causes it is possible to draw up a register of all babies in a community who are ‘at risk’.
