Summary

One hundred forty-nine patients 65–94 years old had a high frequency loss in the pure tone audiogram corresponding to data in literature. There was no significant difference between left and right.

The SISI-score and Langenbeck-audiogram showed a cochlear type in 80%.

The tests for central speech perception showed correlation to age in the following sequence:

Dichotic discrimination, followed by discrimination of one — syllable — words, then hearing loss for words with four syllables, then binaural summation.

Other parameters like serum-cholesterin and cardio-vascular function had a correlation to age much less pronounced than the audiological tests.
