Abstract
The epidemiology of hearing loss in the elderly has been well documented in the UK by Davis and in the USA by Gates. Both studies confirm that presbyacusis is common. Hearing loss results in significant disability in social communication. Davis based his conclusions on a cohort of 2910 subjects while Gates looked at 1475 subjects six years apart. Both studies carried out detailed audiological examinations.
