Objective: To observe the effect differences among the comprehensive therapy, acupuncture and oral mecobalamine for senile sensorineural hearing loss.
Methods: A total of 126 senile sensorineural hearing loss patients were randomized into a comprehensive group, an acupuncture group and a western medication group, 42 cases in each group. After removing and discontinuing cases, 40 cases in each group were included in the analysis. Acupuncture, acupoint injection and auricular point pressing were used in the comprehensive group. Acupuncture for 2 courses was at the affected Tinggong (SI 19), Tinghui (GB 2), Yifeng (TE 17), etc, once every other day, 10 times as a course with one week rest between 2 courses, 3 times a week. Acupuncture as the comprehensive group was applied in the acupuncture group. Mecobalamin tablet was prescribed orally for 2 courses in the western medication group, 3 times a day, 0.5 mg a time, 3 weeks as a course, one week at the interval. Pure tone hearing threshold value and tinnitus grading were observed before and after intervention in the three groups. The clinical effects were compared.
Results: After treatment, pure tone hearing threshold value and tinnitus grading were better than those before treatment in the three groups (all <0.05), with better results in the comprehensive group than those in the other two groups (all <0.05). The total effective rate of pure tone hearing threshold value was 82.5% (33/40) in the comprehensive group, which was superior to 67.0% (27/40) in the acupuncture group and 62.5% (25/40) in the western medication group (both <0.05). The total effective rate of tinnitus was 83.3% (30/36) in the comprehensive group, which was superior to 69.7% (23/33) in the acupuncture group and 57.1% (20/35) in the western medication group (both <0.05).
Conclusion: The clinical effects of comprehensive therapy on senile sensorineural hearing loss are superior to those of simple acupuncture and oral administration of mecobalamin in terms of pure tone hearing threshold value and tinnitus grading.

Background: Presbycusis is characterized by sensorineural hearing loss in both ears at high frequencies, which affects more than half of the older adults by the age of 75 years and is often accompanied by tinnitus and cognitive deterioration. Unfortunately, there are no treatments available to restore hearing loss. Treatment mainly focuses on improving the quality of life and communication with hearing aids.

Senile deafness and hearing loss in adults over 50 are major public health issues as a result of the population's ageing demographic. Menopausal women tend to develop hearing loss, while no clear link has been found between the two. The purpose of this study was to determine how menopause and diabetes mellitus affects hearing loss.

Objective: The purpose of this study is to analyze the clinical prognosis of idiopathic sudden sensorineural hearing loss in patients with total deafness, and to check the differences in different age groups and hearing loss degrees.
Methods: From February 2021 to January 2022, 75 patients with complete deafness and idiopathic sudden sensorineural hearing loss were analyzed retrospectively. According to different age stages, they were divided into five groups: children's group, youth group, middle-aged group, pre-senile group and elderly group, with 15 cases in each group.

To explore the mechanism of cochlear hair cell damage and study the prevention and treatment of sensorineural hearing loss, the effect of NLRX1 gene expression on the functional damage of cochlear hair cells in presbycusis was comprehensively analyzed. In the in vivo detection, C57BL/6 mice of different ages were used as experimental subjects. Cochlear tissues were taken after the hearing test of mice, and the number of cells and protein changes in NLRX1 immunofluorescence staining were detected.

The aim of the study was a comparative analysis of subjective assessments and audiological parameters of patients with hearing loss obtained before and after the course of transcranial electrical stimulation (TES). The study group included 99 patients (45 men and 54 women) with chronic mono- (16%) and bilateral (76%) sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) aged 20 to 85 years. Groups of young and middle age (20-59 years old) amounted to 37 people; elderly (60-74 years old) - 48 and senile (75-90 years old) - 14 people.
