Hearing loss in the elderly

Hearing loss in the elderly


Do you know old age is one of the risk factors for hearing loss?

Hearing loss is a common condition among the elderly.

As a person ages, the hair cells in the inner ear gradually wear down, 
leading to a decreased ability to hear high-frequency sounds.

Common causes include exposure to loud noise, certain medications 
and underlying medical conditions such as diabetes and heart diseases.
