Hearing loss in the elderly is an extremely common handicap which must be assessed together with multiple sensory handicaps. The handicap produced is more than a peripheral loss of hearing acuity; it is a complex amalgam of end organ and neurological deficits, including the inability to inhibit unwanted sound as well as the loss of ability to detect faint sound. Methods of managing it are described.
老年人听力损失是一种极其常见的障碍,必须与多种感官障碍一起评估。这种障碍产生的影响不仅仅是外围听力敏锐度的丧失,而是包括无法抑制不需要的声音以及丧失探测微弱声音的能力等在内的一系列末梢器官和神经功能缺陷的复杂混合体。本文描述了管理这种障碍的方法。
