Resumo

Various studies show the close relationship between aging and decreased hearing sensitivity. Galicia occupies the third place in the ranking of Spanish regions with the highest percentage (21.6%) of elderly people (65 or over) and is the autonomous community that loses population more quickly. At the same time, in our community there is a high percentage of elderly people who report hearing problems (INEBase, 2010). However, despite this statistical evidence, no audiological study has been performed to date. Objective: To establish, through a pilot screening program developed in Galician Centers for the Third Age, the audiological bases that allow characterizing the hearing status of the elderly Galician population. Method: We evaluated 402 subjects (≥ 60 years). The audiological protocol consisted of an otoscopy, followed by a Liminar Tonal Audiometry and the Whisper Test. The diagnosis of hearing damage was made based on the international criteria of Ventry and Weinstein. Results: 58% of the residents presented hearing loss, its prevalence being higher in men (63.9% versus 54.7%). We found significant differences in the mean thresholds (p <0.05) and in the HFPTA (1-4KHz) (p <0.05) between genders, as well as in terms of age. Conclusion: Considering the demographic change experienced by Galician society, our results place hearing loss among the main public health problems of the future.
