Cochlear Pathology in Presbycusis

Annals of Otology, Rhinology & Laryngology, 1993
A survey of the temporal bone collection at the Massachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary reveals 21 cases that meet the criterion for the clinical diagnosis of presbycusis. It is evident that the previously advanced concept of four predominant pathologic types of presbycusis is valid, these being sensory, neural, strial, and cochlear conductive.

Histopathological Observations of Presbycusis

Annals of Otology, Rhinology & Laryngology, 1976
Temporal bone histopathology of 17 aged patients who had spontaneous and gradually progressive bilateral sensorineural hearing losses associated with aging was studied. Six cases in the present material showed the gradually sloping audiometric curve; nine cases, abrupt high tone hearing loss; and two cases, the flat audiometric curve.

Challenges and Opportunities in Presbycusis

Otolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery, 2011
The population aged 65 years and older is increasing at a faster rate than the total population, with predictions that by 2030, 20% of the population will be 65 years or older. In 2006, between 35% and 50% of those aged 65 years or older reportedly had presbycusis, a sensory impairment that contributes to social isolation and loss of autonomy and is ...

Presbycusis and its management

British Journal of Nursing, 2010
Age-related hearing loss, or presbycusis, is becoming a public health issue. With the large number of ageing baby boomers, primary care providers can expect to see an increase in older adults suffering from chronic health problems such as presbycusis.

Cochlear changes in presbycusis with tinnitus

American Journal of Otolaryngology, 2011
The pathophysiology of tinnitus is obscure and its treatment is therefore elusive. Significant progress in this field can only be achieved by determining the mechanisms of tinnitus generation, and thus, histopathologic findings of the cochlea in presbycusis with tinnitus become crucial.

Critical Bandwidth in Presbycusis

Scandinavian Audiology, 1979
Twenty patients with presbycusis and a rather flat audiometric pattern had critical band estimation performed by the method of loudness summation, using noise bands centred around 1 kHz. The pooled data indicated a normal critical band both in patients with a hearing loss less than 50 dB HL and in patients with a hearing loss greater than or equal to ...

Helping clients with presbycusis

Home Care Provider, 1998
Hearing impairment is the most common chronic disability in the United States. The National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD) reports that more than 28 million Americans have impaired hearing. Hearing loss can be temporary or permanent, depending on what function of the auditory system is not working right.

Audiometric profile in presbycusis

Acta Oto-Laryngologica, 1991
A group of 40 elderly subjects were evaluated using a variety of audiological tests. Their mean age was 68 years. They had all come to the clinic because of hearing problems. The subjects were selected for this study because no cause of their hearing loss could be found other than presbycusis.

PRESBYCUSIS

Otology & Neurotology, 1982
The term presbycusis is vague and needs specific signs and symptoms for its definition. Several types of presbycusis, depending on the type of lesion, have been proposed. This article suggests a working definition of "classic presbycusis," which may be defined as a syndrome involving (1) a bilaterally symmetric sensorineural hearing loss, (2) absent or
