title: [Psychophysical and objective investigation of hearing in presbyacusis].
abstract: In 30 individuals aged 50 to 82 the following audiologic examinations were performed: tonal audiometry (air/bone conduction), impedance audiometry (tympanometry and registration of stapedius reflex to pure tone of 0.5-4 kHz and noises) and ERA tests after acoustic stimulation from different levels of the hearing pathway (BERA, MLR and SP). The assessment of the results showed:--1. the threshold values in the objective methods are proportional to those obtained in tonal audiometry;--2. in ERA an interpersonal lability of latencies at different levels of the hearing pathway was observed including shortening, elongation and normal values;--3. in 70% of the examined aged 50-82 SRT were below 70 dB SL and loudness sumation below 25 dB;--4. shortening of the SP latencies was in 100% correlated to the low values of the loudness summation and recruitment found in psychophysical examinations.
