Presbyacousis and stress evaluation in urban settings

Published: 26 October 2011 Publication History

Abstract

For the elderly, altered audio/speech perception has serious impact on emotional, physical and social well-being. For instance, hearing loss is the third impairment of the elderly after arthritis and hypertension. As the progressive loss of high frequency perception changed the appreciation of distance and location of a sound source, the mobility-related security issues are very clear in presbyacoustic people who are involved in 40% of fatal injuries and 1500 accidents/day as pedestrian and drivers [1].
