Prevalence of hearing loss clearly increases with age, to as high as 50% of persons older than 70 years. Less recognised is an often-related problem, tinnitus. We are concerned here about pathological tinnitus: that which lasts more than five minutes more than once a week. In this article we review the prevalence of tinnitus as a function of age, and its causes and mechanisms. We also describe problems commonly associated with chronic tinnitus and some treatment options. We conclude with some special considerations for the elderly patient. | Publication Type: | Journal Article | Source of Publication: | Geriatrics and Aging, 6(6), p. 22-28 | Publisher: | Ribosome Communications | Place of Publication: | Canada | ISSN: | 1488-8416 1488-8408 |
