Hearing and Old Age
Presbycusis is the term used for the gradual loss of hearing associated with old age. As people grow older, their senses such as eyesight and hearing tend to weaken. Hearing loss is quite common to elders, but younger people can also lose their sense of hearing because of other factors such as genetics, environment and lifestyle. Many people have sought medical treatment to health conditions that can lead to the loss of hearing. Yet, unfortunately, a great number of individuals who experience the weakening and the loss of their hearing can only rely on hearingaids for the amplification of sounds their ears receive.
Usually caused by the gradual changes in the inner ear as one ages, presbycusis can also be caused by some other factors such as the insufficient or changing blood supply to the ears because of diabetes, high blood pressure and heart diseases. Frequent exposure to noise can also result to this condition. With the use of different varieties of hearing aids available in the market today, many senior citizens are able to spend old age actively. Some of them, although retired from employment, still opt for independent and productive living by residing in senior or retirement communities and participating in activities like hiking, education, fitness and exciting social gathering.
Many senior adults nowadays are able to enjoy dancing and listening to music thanks to the help of hearing and sound amplification devices. Grandparents are able to enjoy the sound of their grandchildren’s laughter. Better hearing also help them communicate with their family better.
