[Hearing disorders in peripheral arterial vascular diseases. A contribution on XXXX in the aged].

@entity1 @entity64 @entity455 @entity1650 @entity393
Otologic-audiologic examination was carried out in 171 @entity1 (aged between 37-86; average age 64) with confirmed internal angiologic peripheral @entity455 . Additional findings were observed in 94 of these @entity1 who revealed an obliteration of the internal carotid artery or cerebral @entity64 . Diseases of the ear were excluded clinically and audiologically. The mean @entity393 shows a sensory-neural high-tone loss in the tone audiogram. The range of scatter increases proportionately to the increase in tone loss. If compared with the physiologic examination of geriatric @entity1 , the @entity1650 and minimal discrimination loss in the speech audiogram point towards a pathologic impairment of hearing in old age. The @entity1650 amounts to 251.20% in the 51-60 age group, 250.40% in the @entity1 61-70 years of age, 180.96% for the 71-80 age group and 131.67% for those over 80 years of age. The minimal discrimination loss comprises 4.00% for the 51-60 age group, 4.19% for the 61-70 group, 21.35% for 71-80 age bracket and 35.62% for those over 80. On the strength of these findings, an @entity455 should be considered as one of the multifactorial genesis of @entity393 in old age. Special attention should be focussed on decompensation of the @entity1650 and minimal discrimination loss before the age of eighty. This would contribute towards a differentiation of physiologic and pathologic @entity393 in old age.
