Abstract:
Presbycusis is the most common sensory impairment associated with ageing and presents a variability of symptoms. Otorhinolaryngologists and audiologists need to recognize early clinical and audiometric signs of presbycusis to render adequate and quality patient care and reduce associated morbidities. The current study focuses on the clinical modes of presentation and the typical audiometric tracings among patients with presbycusis. The records of patients with OPD cards and audiogram sheets were reviewed in the study. This descriptive health facility-based study had 73 patients with confirmed bilateral sensorineural hearing loss aged 50 years and above during the study period. Our study's findings showed that among 73 patients; tinnitus (79.7%) and vertigo 33.3% were the major clinical symptoms on presentation. The hearing loss increased with age, both in speech and at the higher frequencies of sounds. The most common type of hearing loss was strial.
