title: [Hearing function and hearing loss in the elderly].
abstract: Statistically, hearing function decreases with advancing age, but not all people are affected to the same extent. Environmental influences, such as noise exposure in particular, also play an important role in the development of hearing loss. Since the functional capacity of parts of the central auditory processing system can also diminish with age, these should also be evaluated in diagnostic procedures. Rehabilitative treatment of older people with hearing aids in particular, has to be improved. Audiotherapy can enhance the acceptance of hearing aids and optimize central auditory processing.
