AGE-RELATED HEARING LOSS, TRADITIONAL COMPILATION

Abstract

The global population is gradually aging both domestically and abroad. Aging leads to a variety of anatomical and physiological changes occur in the auditory system. These changes cause hearing impairments that are called "age-related hearing loss.” Age-related hearing loss is a common chronic health condition that affects quality of life. There is no intervention available that prevents age-related hearing loss. However, there are intervention options that can improve daily life functions and well-being as well as decrease or compensate the negative effects of hearing loss. Thus, the importance of studies about age-related hearing loss has been progressively increasing.
