Genetic Associations in Age-Related Hearing Thresholds
Archives of Otolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery · 1999 · Vol. 125(6) · pp. 654–654
Abstract
A clear familial aggregation occurs for age-related hearing levels, sensory presbycusis phenotypes, and strial presbycusis phenotypes. The aggregations are stronger in women than in men. The heritability estimate was greater for the strial phenotypes than for the sensory phenotypes. The data support a genetic effect on the inheritance of presbycusis in women and a mixed, genetically acquired cause in men.
