Presbyacusis

Presbycusis is a disease that occurs in older people and leads to hearing loss. It is associated with age-related changes in the body and can be caused by various factors, such as a decrease in the elasticity of the eardrum, a decrease in the volume of the inner ear, a change in the shape of the auditory ossicles, etc.

Symptoms of presbycusis can vary and depend on the degree of hearing loss. Typically, people with this condition complain of decreased hearing of high-pitched sounds, especially in noisy environments. They may also have difficulty speaking and understanding speech.

To diagnose presbycusis, audiometry is used - a hearing test method that allows you to determine the degree of hearing loss. Treatment for this condition may include the use of hearing aids, lifestyle changes (such as limiting noise), and medications.

Presbycusis is a common condition that can cause significant limitations in daily life. However, with proper treatment and prevention, its symptoms can be significantly reduced and the quality of life of people with this disease can be improved.
