No dramatic age-related loss of hair cells and spiral ganglion neurons in Bcl-2 over-expression mice or Bax null mice [PDF]

, 2010
Age-related decline of neuronal function is associated with age-related structural changes. In the central nervous system, age-related decline of cognitive performance is thought to be caused by synaptic loss instead of neuronal loss.

Sudden hearing loss as an early detector of multiple sclerosis: a systematic review [PDF]

, 2018
To evaluate whether Sudden Sensorineural Hearing Loss (S-SNHL) may be an early symptom of Multiple Sclerosis (MS). A systematic review was conducted using the following keywords: "Multiple sclerosis, hearing loss, sudden hearing loss, vertigo, tinnitus ...

Ossicular joint histopathology in cases of age‐related hearing loss

Laryngoscope Investigative Otolaryngology
Objectives 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 tympanic covering layer contributes to basilar membrane elasticity potentially influencing human frequency resolution and speech perception

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
In this study we show for the first time that the human basilar membrane contains elastin produced by the so‐called tympanic covering layer. It is believed to play an important functional role in human cochlear tuning, particularly low frequencies linked to our remarkable speech and music perception.

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 ...

Differences of Gradient Connectivity and Ventricle Volumes in Long‐Term Sensorineural Hearing Loss Related Cognitive Impairment Correlate With Transcriptional Signatures

Human Brain Mapping, Volume 47, Issue 5, 1 April 2026.
Long‐term hearing loss with cognitive decline shows altered brain gradients, enlarged choroid plexus, and ventricles. These are linked to transcriptomic changes in synaptic, metabolic, and neurodegenerative pathways. ABSTRACT Long‐term sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) is a prevalent condition associated with an increased risk of cognitive impairment ...

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.

A Call for Screening: Hearing Loss and Chronic Otitis Media in Immigrants to Sweden

Laryngoscope Investigative Otolaryngology, Volume 11, Issue 2, April 2026.
The prevalence of chronic otitis media was 2.3% and hearing impairment was found in 15.2% in this cohort of adult immigrants to Sweden attending Swedish language classes. As learning a new language is crucial to integration into society, we advocate for the inclusion of screening audiometry in the general health check‐up for immigrants.
