About Age-Related Hearing Loss in Mumbai
Age-Related Hearing Loss, also known as presbycusis, is a gradual, progressive decline in hearing ability that occurs as a natural part of the aging process, typically affecting both ears symmetrically. It results from cumulative degeneration of the delicate sensory hair cells within the inner ear along with changes in the auditory nerve pathways, most notably affecting the ability to hear high-pitched sounds first. The condition develops slowly over years, often making it difficult for individuals to notice, while family members may recognize the change first. Left unaddressed, hearing loss can contribute to social isolation and has been linked to increased risk of cognitive decline.
