Presentation transcript:

Presbyacusis or age-related hearing loss Presbyacusis or age-related hearing loss. The audiogram shows a moderate to severe downsloping sensorineural hearing loss typical of presbyacusis. The loss of high-frequency hearing is associated with a decreased speech discrimination score; consequently, patients complain of lack of clarity of hearing, especially in a noisy background. HL, hearing threshold level; SRT, speech reception threshold. Source: DISORDERS OF HEARING, Harrison's Neurology in Clinical Medicine, 4e Citation: Hauser SL, Josephson S.
