- Objective: Study groups from three age cohorts of 70-75 year-olds were investigated to search for possible correlations between dietary habits and auditory function.Design: A cross-sectional, epidemiological study.Study sample: A total number of 524 people (275 women, 249 men) were recruited from three age cohorts. The study sample was representative of the general population. All participants answered a diet history and were tested with pure-tone audiometry. Eleven categories of food consumption were related to pure-tone averages of low-mid frequency hearing, and high frequency hearing.Results: Two consistent correlations between diet and hearing were observed. One was a correlation between good hearing and a high consumption of fish in the male group. The other was a correlation between poor high frequency hearing and a high consumption of food rich in low molecular carbohydrates in both genders; a larger effect size was seen in females.Conclusions: The study indicates that diet is important for aural health in aging. According to this study fish is beneficial to hearing, whereas consumption of "junk food", rich in low molecular carbohydrates, is detrimental. Other correlations, e.g. between high consumption of antioxidants, were not demonstrated here, but cannot be excluded.

- This study is the Swedish part of a world-wide transcultural and interdisciplinary study in elderly populations which addresses food habits, health and life-style. The aim of this paper is to present the general design including an analysis of non-response, and to identify risk-groups for intervention programmes. The study comprised 217 noninstitutionalized males (n = 73) and females (n = 144), aged 70 and over (mean age 78 years) in a small urban area. Home visits and clinical examinations with standard methods were used. The participation rate was 76%. Significant differences between non-respondents and respondents could be seen, which may be important when planning health promotion. On the basis of experience during the examinations, a risk-group was identified for prospective and intervention study purpose, based on a multiple variable model and a clinical model.

The binaural interaction component in human ABR is stable within the 0- to 1-ms range of interaural time differences

- The effect of unilaterally delayed acoustic stimuli on binaural interaction was studied in 12 subjects with normal hearing. Auditory brainstem response (ABR) was obtained in the midline between the forehead and the neck, and click stimuli were unilaterally delayed at 0.2-ms intervals in the 0- to 1-ms range. Binaural interaction was evaluated by measuring the β wave in the binaural difference waveform, i.e. the remainder after subtracting the binaurally evoked registration from the sum of the two monaural registrations. Computation of the binaural difference waveform showed the β wave amplitude to be relatively stable throughout the 0- to 1-ms range of interaural time differences. This finding suggests stable binaural interaction within the range of interaural time differences where binaural click stimuli induce a binaurally fused intracranial image.
