title: [Hypoacusis and tinnitus: an overview].
abstract: An overview of hearing loss and tinnitus deals with the evaluation and measurement of auditory function and the factors which influence hearing. The change in the threshold of hearing with age shows a basic pattern, which is also observed in many auditory disorders. Characteristically, the audiogram is bisegmental, with change in threshold being a linear function of log frequency.
