Especially in the elderly, hearing loss can impair the exchange of information, thus significantly impacting everyday life, causing loneliness, isolation, dependence, and frustration, as well as communication disorders. Due to the aging of the population in the developed world, presbycusis is a growing problem that has been reported to reduce quality of life (QoL). Progression of presbycusis cannot be remediated; therefore, optimal management of this condition not only requires early recognition and rehabilitation, but it also should include an evaluation of QoL status and its assessment.Keywords: hearing loss, presbycusis, quality of life, elderlyCiorba ABianchini CPelucchi SPastore ADove Medical Pressarticlehearing losspresbycusiscochleaquality of lifeelderlyGeriatricsRC952-954.6ENClinical Interventions in Aging, Vol Volume 7, Pp 159-163 (2012)
