Abstract
Disorders of the sensory systems (vision, hearing, etc.) in the elderly are often considered as a natural process of body changes over time (presbyopia, age-related hearing loss, presbiataxia, etc.) and remain untreated. However, nowadays reliable data show the connection of sensory system disorders with the onset of cognitive impairment. On the other hand there is the evidence that complaints about the functioning of individual sensory systems may be the first symptoms of the developing neurodegenerative disease ahead of its manifestation by several years. This suggests that early detection and development of measures for compensation and treatment of processes and diseases that cause disturbances in the work of sensory systems will both improve the quality of early diagnosis of neurodegenerative diseases and delay the clinical manifestation of neurodegenerative diseases. The data show the necessity of an integrated approach to diagnosis in patients with complaints of visual, hearing, balance and walking disorders in order to develop the set of measures for the correction and treatment of the identified disorders and diseases.
