With the increase in lifespan, presbyacusis is a common situation. It starts with the difficulty of understanding in noisy conditions and may extend to withdrawal of social activity because we do not face the unintelligibility during diners and meetings. But, with difficulty, the hearing impaired confesses his deafness and hardly recognizes "his" presbyacusis. It will last approximately 10 years, 10 years with lost of profit from his entourage. The practitioner who meets more frequently this range of 60-65 years people should be able to detect this beginning deafness, or set the stage of presbyacusis. The obstruction of the ear canal by wax, that is not one, requires an active approach. These are the semiological elements we need to know for these 2 quite common situations.
随着寿命的增加，老年性聋是一种常见情况。它始于在嘈杂环境中理解困难，可能会扩展到社交活动的减少，因为在就餐和会议期间我们会面临言语不清的问题。但是，听力受损者很难承认自己的耳聋，也很难意识到“自己的”老年性聋。这种情况将持续大约10年，这10年里其周围的人也会有所损失。更频繁接触60 - 65岁人群的从业者应该能够察觉到这种初期耳聋，或者确定老年性聋的阶段。耵聍堵塞耳道的情况并非仅此一种，需要积极应对。对于这两种相当常见的情况，这些就是我们需要了解的症状学要素。
