Introduction
Hearing loss is a common problem caused by noise, disease, aging, illness, and genetics. General signs of hearing loss occurs suddenly and develops gradually that includes asking people to repeat themselves, listening to music or television with a higher volume than required. There are two main types of hearing loss depending on where the problem lies they are conductive hearing loss, sensorineural hearing loss.
Treatment
Sensorineural is caused by damage to the auditory nerve that occurs naturally with age. There are several options that help to improve a person’s ability to hear and communicate which includes digital hearing aids, cochlear implants, middle ear implants, bone anchored implants, wireless devices, etc. The 35delG mutation was detected in 11/ 712 unrelated blood donors.
Statistics
The prevalence observed in calculation A was 43.7%, 51.1%, 71.4%, and 84.3% in men aged 65-69, 70-74, 75-79, and over 80 years old, respectively. In women, the prevalence for the same age groups was 27.7%, 41.8%, 67.3%, and 73.3%, respectively. The size of the hearing-impaired population older than 65 years old was estimated to be 16,553,000. The 10-year incidence rates of hearing impairment in the 60-64- and 70-74-year-old age groups were 32.5% and 62.5% (age at baseline), respectively. These rates rapidly increased with age, although a number of elderly people with good hearing were also observed.
