title: [Topic problems of gerontology in otorhinolaryngology].
abstract: The paper characterizes age-specific involution of the ENT tissues, acoustic and vestibular analyzers, hearing and equilibrium defects. Original investigations of the authors give wider possibilities of early detection of age-related failure of the internal ear functions. Relevant tests are proposed.
