Presbycusis, sociocusis and nosocusis

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1983
Data and idealized curves are presented for a number of surveys on the threshold of hearing of persons who were not exposed, by and large, to intense workplace noise. From these results, and on the basis of certain assumptions, new generalized functions are presented to show pure presbycusis (aging) and sociocusis (non-work-noise-induced hearing loss);

Does Snoring Contribute to Presbycusis?

American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, 1999
It is well known that hearing acuity decreases with age. The precise mechanism responsible for this phenomenon, called presbycusis, is unknown. One hypothesis advanced to explain this loss of acuity implicates chronic exposure to snoring noise. Consequently, the purpose of this study was to investigate whether snoring is associated with hearing loss ...

Vibratory aid for presbycusis

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1983
The present invention comprises a frequency responsive tactile stimulator. Selected mid-frequency and high frequency components are extracted from an input audio signal by a bandpass filter (18) and a high-pass filter (20). The outputs of these filters are transmitted through precision rectifiers (22, 24) and provided to modulate power drivers (26, 28).

A New Concept of the Pathogenesis of Presbycusis

Archives of Otolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, 1971
In aging, a progressive apposition of dense connective tissue, osteoid, and bone respectively occurs in the bottom of the internal auditory meatus. It can be seen macroscopically as closure and disappearance of the holes for the nerve bundles in the region of the spiral tract and microscopically always starts in the region of the basal coil and ...

Presbycusis: Reversible with anesthesia drugs?

Medical Hypotheses, 2009
Age-related hearing impairment, or presbycusis, is a degenerative condition not currently treatable by medication. It is therefore significant that the author, as a patient, experienced a reversal of high-frequency hearing loss during a 2-day period following abdominal surgery with general anesthesia.

Central Presbycusis

Otolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery, 2012
Age‐related dysfunction of the central auditory system (central presbycusis) is common but rarely looked for by those who provide aural rehabilitation. Patients who complain of difficulty hearing in noise—the key symptom of central presbycusis—are generally disadvantaged with conventional rehabilitation.

Hearing Loss with Aging: Presbycusis

Clinics in Geriatric Medicine, 1999
Older adults with presbycusis have varied presentations. Early identification requires sensitivity to communication problems described by patients and their families. Early amplification may lead to better success in hearing aid use and may prevent social isolation.
