Abstract

Age-related hearing loss (ARHL), or presbycusis, is a complex degenerative sickness that influences a huge number of elderly individuals all through the world.ARHL leads to bilaterally symmetrical hearing loss resulting from the aging process. With the growing number of geriatric patients the problem of ARHL needs to be addressed. We herein present a detailed review of this disorder that is affecting the elderly population and is second only to arthritis.
