The inevitable deterioration in hearing ability that occurs with age--presbycusis--is a multifactorial process that can vary in severity from mild to substantial. Left untreated, presbycusis of a moderate or greater degree affects communication and can contribute to isolation, depression, and, possibly, dementia. These psychological effects are largely

Journal of the American Geriatrics Society, 1970
AbstractPresbycusis is the insidious bilateral loss of hearing for high tones that occurs in the aged. The differential diagnosis should include deafness based on factors such as heredity, trauma, vascular disease and neoplasia. The pathologic changes involve the organ of Corti, the cochlear nerve, the central nuclei and the auditory cortex. No form of

Journal of General Internal Medicine, 1986
Impaired hearing, so common among older people, often has disastrous consequences. The infirmity, too frequently concealed or unknown by the patient, is invisible to others. Disability and frustration can be lessened considerably by greater awareness on the part of medical and lay people about various helpful measures, which are currently under ...

Presbycusis and Fitness to Fly
Aerospace Medicine and Human Performance, 2020BACKGROUND: When a pilot is referred for presbycusis, his flight fitness may be questionable. The objective of this retrospective study was to describe a case series of presbycusis in a pilot population and to discuss the decisions about their flight waivers.METHODS: There were 19 pilots who were referred to the ENT-Head and Neck Surgery Department of

The Laryngoscope, 1985
AbstractThe phenomenon of central presbycusis has been investigated employing a central auditory battery in elderly individuals with essentially normul hearing. The studies indicate a progressive loss in central auditory competence measured by simultaneous binaural challenges and frequency and temporal distortion tests.

A Novel Therapy for Presbycusis
Rejuvenation Research, 2021Hearing amplification is the mainstay of treatment for presbycusis, but adherence with this therapy remains abysmally low, necessitating the exploration of other treatment modalities. Mineralocorticoids represent one such novel treatment modality. Although research on mineralocorticoids to prevent and retard presbycusis in humans shows promise and the ...

Advances in understanding of presbycusis
Journal of Neuroscience Research, 2019AbstractThe pathophysiology of age‐related hearing loss (ARHL), or presbycusis, involves a complex interplay between environmental and genetic factors. The fundamental biomolecular mechanisms of ARHL have been well described, including the roles of membrane transport, reactive oxygen species, cochlear synaptopathy, vascular insults, hormones, and ...

Audiometric shape and presbycusis
International Journal of Audiology, 2009The aim of this study was to describe the prevalence of specific audiogram configurations in a healthy, otologically screened population between 55 and 65 years old. The audiograms of 1147 subjects (549 males and 598 females between 55 and 65 years old) were collected through population registries and classified according to the configuration of ...

Is There a Conductive Type of Presbycusis?
Otolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery, 1989Many ears that manifest hearing losses caused by aging show combinations of atrophic change in the sensory cells, cochlear neurons, and stria vascularis. When it occurs in pure form, the loss of sensory cells produces an abruptly sloping high‐tone threshold loss, the loss of cochlear neurons decreases the capability for speech discrimination, and the ...
