“…He further stated that the term deprivation is applicable since the underlying cause can be an inadequate output from the inner ear to the brain. Such deleterious consequences due to lack of output from inner ear to the brain can occur as the auditory pathways and areas in the brain are "starved" of sound, followed by atrophy which may occur after starvation of sound for several years [49,50]. Therefore, one of the causes of decreased speech discrimination may also be due to an inadequate output from the hearing organ to the brain, as agreed by [48].…”

Hearing is an important sensation to the elderly as it promotes their quality of life and maintains their safety and wellness. For example, healthy hearing lets the elderly catch alarm sounds, stay alert to danger whilst asleep, listen in the dark, detect sounds from behind, communicate efficiently with other people, and maintain links to the world via telephone and radio, especially after retirement. However, age-related hearing loss, i.e., presbycusis, seems to become a growing problem in our community. The purpose of this study is to demonstrate whether presbycusis is a critical issue in our community. To achieve this purpose, the data in the literature as well as in the websites sponsored by hearing-related professional associations and sponsored by related government's departments have been searched and reviewed. The data resulted from the review show a high prevalence of presbycusis, an ever-growing senior population, an incredible increase in hearing impairment and presbycusis population in the next two decades, a rank as high as at the third place for the prevalence of presbycusis among chronic health conditions in elderly resident facilities, and an alarmingly negative effect of presbycusis on mental health, social life, speech perception and hearing-related areas in the brain. These findings demonstrate that hearing loss in the elderly is a critical issue in our community. The etiology, clinical significance, management of presbycusis, prevention, and access of presbycusis population to assistive devices are also overviewed and discussed.

“…The bivariate plotting procedure is described in detail by Silman et al 5 The method was initially proposed by Popelka et al 6 and elaborated on by Popelka. 7 In this method two acoustic-reflex variables that increase as hearing loss increases are plotted as coordinates on a bivariate graph.…”

“…The selection of 44 years as the cutoff point was based on recent data that indicated that the ART for the BBN activator begins to become elevated during the fifth decade of life. 12,13 The elevation of BBN ARTs in the early 40s was slight, but became accelerated beyond 44 years of age. The results from Silman et al 10 indicate that for subjects up to age 44, 97 percent (34 of 35) of the normalhearing ears were correctly identified (Fig.…”

The utility of R. Keith's (1977) method of screening for hearing sensitivity using the contralateral acoustic-reflex threshold (ART) for broad-band noise (BBN) was tested in persons with cerebral palsy (CP). Three groups of participants were included in this prospective study. The first group comprised 20 normal-hearing individuals without CP whose results were used as normative data. The second group comprised 16 participants with normal hearing and CP. The third group comprised 22 participants with sensorineural hearing loss and CP. The results of this study indicate that Keith's screening method employing ART for BBN can be used successfully in a population with multiple handicaps where a quick, inexpensive, readily available, and accurate method is needed.
