“…This result coincides with other studies. 5,9,10,11 In this study, a gradual increase in the severity of hearing loss was found with increasing age. In the 6th decade maximum 44.45% of the impaired people were found to have mild degree (26-40db) hearing loss.…”

“…This result is consistent with the findings of other studies, where sensorineural impairment 65.85% followed by conductive impairment 21.95%. 8,9,10,11 The majority of the person (69%) among the study population had no otological symptoms like hearing loss, tinnitus or vertigo on presentation. Hearing loss was the most frequent complain (96.77%) and vertigo was the least (9.68%) among those who had otological symptoms.…”

“…Many authors, from Rosen et al and his research with the Mabbans until more recent ones such as Huang, have investigated the interaction of cardiovascular diseases and other extrinsic factors with presbycusis [18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28]37 . The data from our study illustrates the need to control these disorders in order to properly manage elderly patients with labyrinthine and auditory complaints.…”

“…Rosen et al 19 carried out an audiometric evaluation in men from a Sudanese Tribe, the Mabaans, who were not affected by noise, arteriosclerosis, smoking and drugs. Results from such study revealed a minimum hearing loss as age increased, as well as few indications of hearing loss associated with age or gender.…”

The Brazilian elderly population is growing, and already represents 8,6% of our total population. Environmental factors, lifestyle, gender and genetics impact the development of presbycusis, which reduces quality of life. Aim: investigate audiologic and vestibular complaints in the elderly; perform tonal audiometry and check to see if there are differences between genders. Study: Cross-sectional clinical prospective study. Materials and Methods: 320 elderly patients (160 men and 160 women) were submitted to audiologic interview and tonal audiometry. The results were statistically analyzed by the following methods: ANOVA, Mann-Whitney and Chi-Squared. Results: audiologic and vestibular complaints (hearing loss, tinnitus, ear fullness, dizziness) were similar between the genders (except for dizziness: p<0,05); tonal audiometry showed a significant difference, with hearing loss in the high frequencies among men; and among women the curves were descending and flat. These results were statistically significant (P<0,001). Conclusion: our results lead us to conclude that, when the genders are compared, hearing loss in the elderly has similar symptoms; however, there are significant differences in tonal audiometry.

“…Rosen and hiL colleagues have published several articles (22)(23)(24)(25)(26) noting the relationship between hearing loss anu such measures as elevated cholesterol levels, hypertension, atherosclerosis, and coronary heart disease. Similarly, Cunningham and Goetzinger (27) found modest but significant hearing threshold differences at 14000 Hz between subjects with normal lipid levels and those with hyperlipidemia.…”
