Article Excerpts about Presbycusis
Presbycusis (prez-bee-KU-sis) is the most common
hearing problem in older people. In fact, people over age 50 are
likely to lose some hearing each year. Presbycusis is an ongoing
loss of hearing linked to changes in the inner ear. People with this
kind of hearing loss may have a hard time hearing what others are
saying or may be unable to stand loud sounds. The decline is slow.
Just as hair turns gray at different rates, presbycusis develops at
different rates. (Source: excerpt from Hearing and Older People - Age Page - Health Information: NIA)
Definitions of Presbycusis:
Progressive bilateral loss of hearing that occurs in the aged.
