Talk:presbycusis

IMO, defining "presbycusis" as "inability of the ears, due to aging, to focus on high-pitched sounds" is terrible, inaccurate, like somebody tried to take a literal translation from the source terms. Focus on? Also, although the effects are most pronounced at higher frequencies, presbycus affects lower frequencies too. IMO, a better defintion would be something like "hearing loss that occurs through the normal aging process, independent of injury, sickness, noise, or other causes". It is a sensorineural-type hearing loss. I'll try to find something more official. N'Awlins Contrarian 22:03, 28 January 2011 (UTC)
