Hearing ability with age in northern European women: a new web-based approach to genetic studies.
Age-related hearing impairment (ARHI) affects 25-40% of individuals over the age of 65. Despite the high prevalence of this complex trait, ARHI is still poorly understood. We hypothesized that variance in hearing ability with age is largely determined by genetic factors. We collected audiologic data...
