Age-Related Hearing Loss, also known as presbycusis, is a common condition that affects many older adults. It typically involves a gradual decline in the ability to hear high-frequency sounds, making it harder to understand speech, especially in noisy environments. This type of hearing loss is often caused by changes in the inner ear or auditory nerve as people age. Factors contributing to presbycusis include genetic predisposition, prolonged exposure to loud noises, and health conditions like diabetes or hypertension. Regular hearing check-ups can help detect this condition early, allowing for potential interventions such as hearing aids or assistive listening devices.
