Notes

  1. 1.

    Presbycusis: Loss of hearing associated with aging; manifest as reduced ability to perceive or discriminate sounds; the pattern and age of onset vary (Stedman’s Electronic Medical Dictionary).

  2. 2.

    Phonemic regression: a decrease in intelligibility of speech out of proportion to the pure tone hearing loss associated with aging (Stedman’s Electronic Medical Dictionary).

  3. 3.

    Spontaneous hypertensive rats: Rats with genetic predisposition for greater increase in blood pressure with age than normal.

Abbreviations

ARHI:

Age-related hearing impairment

EPSP:

Excitatory postsynaptic potentials

GABA:

Gamma amino butyric acid
