✦ Synopsis

This study examines the relationship between hearing loss and psychiatric diagnosis in a geriatric population attending a hearing clinic. Major depression was the most frequent psychiatric disorder and was diagnosed in 30% of subjects. A sensorineural type hearing loss was diagnosed in 85% of the depressed subjects. More hearing loss was seen in subjects with onset of depression after age 55 years, in comparison to geriatric patients with depression onset before age 55 years, subjects with other psychiatric disorders and subjects without a psychiatric diagnosis (p < 0,001). The audiogram and speech audiometry suggest involvement of auditory nerve and central auditory pathways in late onset depression.

## Communicated by Peter Byers Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is caused by mutations in COL1A1 and COL1A2 that code for the a1 and a2 chains of type I collagen. Phenotypes correlate with the mutation types in that COL1A1 null mutations lead to OI type I, and structural mutations in a1(I) or a2(I) lea
