[Hearing in old age. Hearing loss is never physiologic].

The common form of hardness of hearing seen in old age is not, in the first instance, due to physiological age-related changes as is, for example, presbyopia, but rather to a complex sensorineural pattern of injury. The underlying causes are not yet fully understood. Typical medical risk factors such as hypertension, diabetes mellitus, etc. apparently play a smaller role than increasing environmental noise and modern life styles. The various forms of presbyacusis and their presentation in the pure tone audiogram are discussed.

[Analysis of motility disturbances due to a combination of different orbital lesions by means of the synoptometer (author's transl)].

There is no clear cut symptomatology of the ocular motility in blow-out fractures. It is essentially dependant on the number of muscles involved, what muscle in particular and where the muscle in incarcerated. Besides the blow-out fracture an additional impairment of motility can occur, for example central nerve palsy or Brown's syndrome of traumatic origin. For the exact analysis of the deviation measurement from 10 to 10 degrees is essential which can best be achieved with the synoptometer of Cüppers.

[The postoperative management of the alcoholic (author's transl)].

The paper deals with observations on alcoholics suffering from withdrawal symptoms after surgery. Apart from differential diagnostic comment suggestions are made concerning the immediate treeatment of these patients. A therapeutic scheme is proposed which has proved valuable in relevant cases. Chlormethiazol (Distraneurin) appears to be the treatment of choice.
