Prevalence of presbycusis in an otologically normal population

Uncommon disease with unusual presentation: A case report of acute necrotizing otitis media

“…Also, age and comorbidities could have played a role in hearing loss, resulting in presbycusis. However, the fact that it developed in short period makes it unlikely [22] . In addition, it could be Idiopathic sudden sensorineural hearing loss, which is defined as “sensorineural hearing loss of 30 decibels (dB) or more over at least three contiguous audiometric frequencies with an onset of fewer than three days.” [23] .…”

Ageing and multisensory integration: A review of the evidence, and a computational perspective

“…For example, ageing is associated with a variety of physical changes to the eye, including presbyopia (Glasser & Campbell, 1998), miosis (Sloane et al, 1988), and loss of retinal photoreceptor and ganglion cells Curcio & Drucker, 1993). In terms of hearing, some degree of presbycusis is estimated to be present in at least 90% of humans by age 80 (Cruickshanks et al, 1998;Rodríguez-Valiente, 2020). The deleterious effects of these changes on sensory reliability are compounded by agerelated alterations in central processing of sensory stimuli (Elliott et al, 1990;Martin & Jerger, 2005;Simpson et al, 1985;Wang et al, 2006).…”
