Hearing Loss in Old Age: Causes, Symptoms, and Help
Examine common causes and symptoms of hearing loss that come with aging. Learn how early intervention and hearing aids can improve the quality of life for senior citizens.
As we age, changes in our body are natural—one of the most
common being a gradual decline in hearing. Often overlooked or ignored, hearing
loss in old age can affect communication, safety, and emotional well-being.
Understanding the causes, symptoms, and available help is the first step to
improving hearing health and overall quality of life.
What Causes Hearing Loss in Older Adults?
Presbycusis, another name for age-related hearing loss, typically results from:

·
Natural wear and tear of the inner ear over time
·
Exposure to loud sounds throughout life
·
Reduced blood flow to the inner ear
·
Side effects of medications like certain
antibiotics or chemotherapy drugs
· Chronic illnesses include heart disease, high blood pressure, or diabetes
