On Aging: Age-Related Hearing Loss By Jennifer WolffAge-related hearing loss (also called presby-cusis, pronounced prez-buh-KYOO-sis) is hearing loss that occurs gradually for many of us as we grow older. It is one of the most common conditions affect-ing adults as we age. About one in three people in the U.S. between the ages of 65 and 74 has hearing loss. Having trouble hearing can make it hard to understand and follow a doctor’s advice, respond to warnings, and hear phones, doorbells, and smoke alarms. Hearing loss can also make it hard to en-joy talking with family and friends, leading to feelings of isolation. Hearing loss typically occurs in both ears as we age. Because the loss is gradual, you may not re-alize that you’ve lost some of your ability to hear.Many things affect our hearing as we age. For ex-ample, changes in the inner ear that can affect hearing are common. Age-related changes in the middle ear and complex changes along the nerve pathways from the ear to the brain can also affect hearing. Long-term exposure to noise and some medical conditions can also play a role. New research suggests that certain genes make some people more susceptible to hearing loss as they age. Conditions that are more common in older people, such as high blood pressure and dia-betes, are associated with hearing loss. Medications that are toxic to the sen-sory cells in your ears (i.e. some chemotherapy drugs) can cause hearing loss. Less commonly, abnormalities of the middle ear, such as oto-sclerosis can worsen hear-ing with age.Scientists don’t yet know how to prevent age-related hearing loss, but you can protect yourself from noise induced hearing loss. Po-tential sources of damaging noises include loud music, headphones/earbuds used at high volume, farm & construction equipment, ﬁreworks, guns, lawn mow-ers, leaf blowers, and mo-torcycles. To help safeguard your hearing as you age, avoid loud noises, reduce the amount of time you’re exposed to loud sounds, and protect your ears with earplugs or protective ear-muffs. Treatment will de-pend on the severity of your hearing loss, so some treat-ments or devices will work better for you than others. Most common treatments: hearing aids, cochlear im-plants & assistive listening devices for ampliﬁcation & closed captioning. (ref NIH.gov)Join us at Tuesdays To-gether 6/18 11:30 at the Patterson Health Center meeting room to hear more from Hearing Life on age related hearing loss & solu-tions. Hearing Life will be offering free hearing tests by appointment before & after the meeting. Contact Jennifer at 620-842-5104 to schedule your appointment.
