Aging impacts the vestibular system, leading to dizziness and hearing loss in the elderly. Vestibular disorders are common, affecting balance and overall well-being in older adults.

Area of Science:

Gerontology
Otolaryngology
Neuroscience

Context:

Natural aging affects human functional and structural integrity.
The aging process significantly impacts the elderly's corporal balance system.
Age-related changes in the vestibular system can lead to significant health issues.

Purpose:

To investigate the vestibular function in elderly individuals experiencing dizziness, tinnitus, and hearing impairment.
To compare vestibular function between a general elderly group and those with balance disorder complaints.

Summary:

A transversal cohort study evaluated 80 elderly individuals using vecto-electronystagmography.
While most diagnoses appeared normal, peripheral vestibular syndromes were prevalent.
Dizziness and tinnitus complaints were significantly higher in the group with balance disorders.
