老年性耳聋,又称年龄相关性听力下降(AHL)。随着社会老年化的发展,老年性耳聋的发病率逐年升高,已成为老年人群常见病和多发病。老年性耳聋不仅影响老年人的身心健康,还严重导致老年人的生活质量、认知水平、社交沟通能力下降等不良后果。由于属于听觉系统感音神经性退变,一直以来防治相当困难,系学界研究重点和难点。当今研究发现中医中药治疗AHL基础研究方面已取得可观成果,研究进展令人瞩目,本文就此进行回顾性总结,希望能为今后相关研究提供参考信息。Presbycusis, also known as age-related hearing loss (AHL). With the development of aging society, the incidence of senile deafness is increasing year by year, and it has become a common and frequent disease in the elderly population. Age-related deafness not only affects the physical and mental health of the elderly, but also seriously leads to the quality of life, cognitive level, social communication ability of the elderly decline and other adverse consequences. Due to the sensorineural degeneration of the auditory system, it has been difficult to prevent and treat, and has been the focus of research in the academic community and difficult. Today, researchers have found that Chinese medicine has achieved considerable results in basic research on the treatment of AHL, and the progress of research has been remarkable. This article provides a retrospective summary of this topic, and we hope that it can provide reference information for future research.
