AIM
to review the literature on aging-related hearing loss and its current impacts.
LITERATURE REVIEW
In studies carried out in Brazil, presbycusis has been blamed for being the most frequent cause of hearing loss in the elderly, causing verbal communication impairment. International studies also show the high prevalence of hearing loss in the elderly.
DISCUSSION
According to recent investigations, as the number of elderly people increase, the prevalence of presbycusis interfering in the life quality of this population also increases. Even among health care professionals, there is a huge lack of knowledge about the advantages and gains a specific hearing reeducation can bring about for the elderly with hearing impairment.
CONCLUSIONS
the papers hereby analyzed showed that the public health care centers with physicians and speech and hearing therapists, should establish the guidelines for the development of diagnostic programs, purchase of hearing aids and, most specially, hearing reeducation for the elderly with presbycusis, so that they may enjoy their social relations, and thus enhance their life quality. However, in Brazil, studies and research in this area only beginning.
目的
回顾与衰老相关的听力损失及其当前影响的文献。
文献综述
在巴西进行的研究中，老年性耳聋被认为是老年人听力损失最常见的原因，会导致言语交流障碍。国际研究也表明老年人听力损失的高患病率。
讨论
根据最近的调查，随着老年人数量的增加，干扰该人群生活质量的老年性耳聋患病率也在上升。即使在医疗保健专业人员中，对于特定的听力再教育能给听力受损老年人带来的益处也严重缺乏了解。
结论
本文分析的论文表明，配备医生以及言语和听力治疗师的公共卫生保健中心，应该制定诊断项目、购买助听器，尤其是为老年性耳聋老年人进行听力再教育的指导方针，以便他们能够享受社交关系，从而提高生活质量。然而，在巴西，这一领域的研究才刚刚起步。
