Title: Geriatric hearing loss. Understanding the causes and providing appropriate treatment.
Abstract: Geriatric hearing loss may be caused by a variety of problems, some of which are amenable to treatment. Presbycusis may be the most common cause of diminished hearing in the older population, but it should not be diagnosed until other potential causes of hearing loss have been ruled out. In this article, we discuss the most common etiologies of geriatric hearing loss, suggest treatments for some types, and provide an overview of assistive devices that can be used to improve hearing.
