Elderly Hearing Loss
Elderly
hearing loss is known as presbycusis, which is a type of hearing loss that is
caused by the natural aging process of the body. The older we get, the less
effective our ability to hear and see is. Hearing loss is a very common problem
in the elderly which is why hearing aid devices are always being tested and amended
throughout time.
Our hearing
starts to decline at the young age of twenty. Without noticing it, days creep
by affecting our hearing with the loud sounds of life. We enjoy concerts, ball
games, parties, blaring our music, and occasionally screaming with excitement.
And there’s no way around it, I have to mow the lawn with an iPod. We can
protect our ears from loud noises that we are expecting but we still have to
endure a certain amount of hearing damage from the noises that are less
predictable.
Aging causes
the inside nerves of the ear and other cells to die off after a period of time
from excessive loud noise over a lengthy period of time. Most times there is no
cure for hearing loss but with the help of a hearing aid, hearing lost is
improved significantly. All hearing aids contain the same key components in
order to help you hear better and maintain a certain level of wearing comfort.
