Sensory Loss
Sensory loss refers to the diminished ability to perceive sensory stimuli, which can affect any of the five senses: sight, hearing, taste, smell, and touch. This condition can result from various factors, including aging, injury, illness, or genetic conditions. Individuals with sensory loss may experience challenges in daily activities and communication.
The impact of sensory loss varies among individuals, with some experiencing partial loss while others may be completely unable to perceive certain stimuli. Rehabilitation and assistive devices, such as hearing aids or glasses, can help improve quality of life for those affected by sensory loss.
