1. 1. Hearing in advanced age. Epidemiological, pathophysiological and diagnostic perspectives from the Gothenburg H70 Birth Cohort Studies

   Författare :Hanna Göthberg; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Hearing Loss; Aged; Audiology; Age-related hearing loss; Hearing decline; Peripheral auditory function; Central auditory function; Audiological research;

   Sammanfattning : Globalt förväntas antalet personer över 80 år att öka i framtiden. Detta bidrar förmodligen till ett ökat vårdbehov av åldersrelaterade tillstånd och sjukdomar, varav åldersrelaterad hörselnedsättning (ARHL) rankas som den tredje vanligaste. LÄS MER

3. 2. On noise and hearing loss : Prevalence and reference data

   Författare :Magnus Johansson; Stig Arlinger; Einar Laukli; Linköpings universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; irreversible occupational disease; noise-induced hearing; noise-induced measurements OAE ; spontaneous otoacoustic emissions SOAE ; transient evoked otoacoustic emissions TEOAE ; distortion product otoacoustic emissions DPOAE ; Audiology; Audiologi;

   Sammanfattning : Noise exposure is one of the most prevalent causes of irreversible occupational disease in Sweden and in many other countries. In hearing conservation programs, aimed at preventing noise-induced hearing loss, audiometry is an important instrument to highlight the risks and to assess the effectiveness of the program. LÄS MER

4. 3. Effects of Specific Cochlear Pathologies on the Auditory Functions : Modelling, Simulations and Clinical Implications

   Författare :Amin G. Saremi; Stefan Stenfelt; Steve Elliott; Linköpings universitet; []
   Nyckelord :Auditory modeling; cochlear mechanics; sensorineural hearing impairment; age-related hearing loss; noise-induced hearing loss; inner ear pathologies;

   Sammanfattning : A hearing impairment is primarily diagnosed by measuring the hearing thresholds at a range of auditory frequencies (air-conduction audiometry). Although this clinical procedure is simple, affordable, reliable and fast, it does not offer differential information about origins of the hearing impairment. LÄS MER

5. 4. Hearing in advanced age Epidemiological, pathophysiological, and diagnostic perspectives from the Gothenburg H70 Birth Cohort Studies

   Författare :Hanna Göthberg; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Age-related hearing loss; Older adult; Hearing decline; Peripheral auditory function; Central auditory function; Audiological research;

   Sammanfattning : The population aged 80 and above is expected to increase in the future resulting in an anticipated rise in health care demands. Age-related hearing loss (ARHL) is described as the third most common health condition associated with ageing. ARHL often results in communication difficulties and social isolation and is associated with cognitive decline. LÄS MER

7. 5. Hearing in early old age: current perspectives

   Författare :Maria Hoff; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Age related hearing loss; Presbycusis; Prevalence; Cross-sectional; Secular trends; Cognitive function;

   Sammanfattning : Age related hearing loss is a public health concern that restricts the possibilities of older persons to lead a healthy, social and active life. The present thesis aims to provide contemporary perspectives on age related hearing function and hearing loss in the general population, in early old age. LÄS MER
