Q » How does aging affect hearing?
06 Dec, 2025
A » Aging can lead to hearing loss, primarily due to presbycusis, which is the gradual degeneration of inner ear structures. This condition affects the ability to hear high-frequency sounds and can make understanding speech challenging, especially in noisy environments. Other contributing factors include long-term exposure to loud noises, medications, and health conditions such as diabetes or hypertension, which can exacerbate hearing decline by affecting blood flow to the ears.
