Dr. Ronald Chin’s Explanation Of Presbycusis

Presbycusis is an age-related sensorineural hearing loss disease. This is more common in men than women. By the age of 75, more than half of the adult population is impacted by it.

This is generally caused by the degeneration of hair cells, spiral ganglion, and basilar membrane. Symptoms for it may include, progressive and symmetrical hearing loss at high frequencies, tinnitus, and poor speech recognition. This is usually investigated using an audiogram. There isn’t any specific medical or surgical treatment for this. Hearing aids and auditory rehabilitation are among the few available options.
