Sound energy absorbance changes in the elderly with presbycusis with normal outer and middle ear

Conclusionit was determined that there was a decrease in RF and absorbances at 2000 and 4000  Hz in the elderly with presbycusis. Aging affects not only the inner ear but also the conduction mechanism of the middle ear. Our findings may be effective in a more accurate and reliable interpretation of WBT in the elderly with presbycusis.
