Old People & Hearing Loss & Deafness
Hearing loss is a common disorder in older people; it is thought that about 35% of people 65 to 75 years of age suffer from hearing loss to some degree and half of all people over the age of 75 will suffer from some form of hearing loss.
It is when older people suffer from a gradual loss of hearing that the hearing loss is referred to as Presbycusis, and the loss usually associated with Presbycusis is the range of higher pitched sounds.
When a person suffers from this type of hearing loss they find it extremely difficult to hear the ringing of a telephone but they can hear low rumbling sounds such as a truck going down the street clearly.
