[The advantage of multidisciplinary treatment of presbycusis]. / Intérêt d'une prise en charge pluridisciplinaire de la presbyacousie.

ABSTRACT

Attributable to the ageing of the hearing system, presbycusis presents a wide variability in the general population. Early detection is necessary in order to be able to provide the patient with a suitable hearing aid. Collaboration between otolaryngologists and geriatricians proves to be advantageous as a consultation for a memory complaint may be the opportunity to detect presbycusis and vice versa.
