Age Effect in Hearing - A Comparative Analysis of Published Threshold Data

Audiological assessment in patients with mitochondrial myopathy

“…However, after correction for presbyacusis (Robinson & Sutton 1979), an important element of pure high frequency hearing loss remained. In case 6, an acoustic trauma obtained from the patient's history should be considered.…”

Object–spatial imagery and verbal cognitive styles in children and adolescents: Developmental trajectories in relation to ability

“…Schneider also reports that younger children, while they do have some metacognitive ability, tend to overestimate their performance on ease-of-learning selfmonitoring judgments, which are similar to some of the C-OSIVQ questions. This tendency of children to exaggerate could also be related to the fact that children's perceptual systems are more sensitive to those of adults (e.g., kids can hear higher pitched sounds than adults, Robinson & Sutton, 1979). This could also be related to the model of learning as a process of successive approximation, in which initially grossly exaggerated responses are fine-tuned into more precise abilities with time and experience.…”

Auditory Processing in Aging Listeners

“…The characteristic presbycusic deficit seen in all normative data is a gradually sloping, high-frequency hearing loss. The loss increases gradually at first and then accelerates more rapidly with increasing age, especially for the higher frequencies (Berger et al, 1977;Corso, 1963;Glorig & Nixon, 1960;Glorig & Nixon, 1962;Glorig & Roberts, 1965;Robinson & Sutton, 1979;Spoor, 1967), and is bilaterally symmetrical (Dayal, Kane & Mendelsohn, 1970;Klotz & Kilbane, 1962;Sataloff & Menduke, 1957). However, not all presbycusic hearing losses follow the typical audiometric configuration.…”
