Canadian family physician Medecin de famille canadien, 2013 Presbycusis is a progressive sensorineural hearing loss varying with age and affecting first the higher frequencies. The physical and social handicap is not fully appreciated by most people with normal hearing. Difficulties in diagnosis exist because of co-existing sensorineural hearing loss in older people.

Indian Journal of Otology, 2021 Presbycusis is aging deafness, progressive decrease in hearing, high frequency usually associated with tinnitus. This is due to the release of free radicals in cellular metabolism leading to cell death of cochlear hair cells, stria vascularis, and sensorineural degeneration.

Ossicular joint histopathology in cases of age‐related hearing loss
Laryngoscope Investigative OtolaryngologyObjectives Age‐related hearing loss (presbycusis) is a prevalent condition traditionally attributed to inner ear dysfunction. Little is known about age‐related changes in the ossicular joints or their contribution to presbycusis.

The role of mitochondrial DNA large deletion for the development of presbycusis in Fischer 344 rats
Neurobiology of Disease, 2007 Age-related hearing loss, or presbycusis, has been associated with large-scale mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) deletion in previous studies. However, the role of this mtDNA damage in presbycusis is still not clear because the deletion in inner ears has not ...

An Experimental Study on the Protective Effect of Memantine in Noise‐Induced Hearing Loss
World Journal of Otorhinolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Objective This study examined the potential protective effects of memantine, an N‐methyl‐D‐aspartate (NMDA) receptor antagonist, against acoustic trauma (AT) in guinea pigs, using electrophysiological and histopathological analyses. Methods Thirty guinea pigs with normal hearing were divided into six groups (n = 5 per group): Group 1 (control),

Brazilian Journal of Otorhinolaryngology, 2009 Presbycusis, or the aging ear, involves mainly the inner ear and the cochlear nerve, causing sensorineural hearing loss. Risk factors include systemic diseases and poor habits that cause inner ear damage and lead to presbycusis. Correct identification of

Speech Recognition Deficits in Presbyacusis: Links to Cortical Structural and Functional Alterations
World Journal of Otorhinolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Objective To characterize speech recognition in presbyacusis and its associated neurophysiological and cortical structural features, and to explore structure‐function‐behavior relationships within the presbyacusis phenotype. Methods Thirty elderly patients with presbyacusis(HI) and thirty‐three healthy young controls(NH) completed a behavioral

Hearing loss among the elderly at a geriatric centre in South-west Nigeria
Nigerian Journal of Medicine, 2023 Background: Aging is an unavoidable process that is connected with several health issues, including presbycusis, a degenerative disease of the cochlear hair cells and central auditory pathways with a resultant reduction in hearing acuity.
