    As we age, the function of various organs in the body will gradually decline, and the auditory system is no exception, and presbycusis is a very common ear disease.

    1. Often accompanied by tinnitus.

    In the early stages of hearing loss, it is usually accompanied by intermittent tinnitus, often in the dead of night. As hearing deteriorates, it can develop into persistent tinnitus, even during the day.

    2. Auditory rejuvenation.

    It is often felt that others cannot be heard clearly when they speak lowly, and when they are high, they feel too noisy, because the auditory dynamic range is narrowed and the sound tolerance is reduced.

    3. Speech resolution decreases.

    When hearing loss first occurs, you can still hear sounds, but you can't hear individual sounds clearly, and your ability to distinguish speech becomes poor. You say "pumpkin", he listens to "orchid", and when he can't hear clearly, he asks for repetition, which seriously affects communication with others.

    4. Social impairment.

    Hearing loss causes communication difficulties, and people with hearing loss will gradually close themselves, become lonely, isolated, depressed, and have little interaction with family members, and lose the ability to interact with society.

    5. Psychological disorders.

    Because they can't hear clearly and have little social interaction, people with hearing loss will begin to have negative emotions such as low self-esteem, anxiety, and loneliness, which will seriously affect their mental health.

    Therefore, when hearing loss is discovered, please do not let it go, detect it early, intervene early, and return to the colorful sound world as soon as possible.

    What causes hearing loss in the elderly? Why are some elderly people still deaf and clear at the age of 80? It still depends on the individual's physique, after a person passes middle age, the ability of various organs of the body will begin to decline gradually.

    Many people will find that sometimes they can't hear the other person speaking normally. This was followed by repeated questions such as "what, what", and "what's going on?" Not only does it hinder mutual communication, but it also shows that they are not respectful enough to each other.

    As we get older, especially in old age, this phenomenon of inability to hear becomes more severe.

    Many old people say, I can hear it, but I just can't hear it clearly. What is the reason why the old man can't hear each other clearly, so I'll tell you about it in detail.

    As you know, the frequency range of human listening to sound is 20---20,000 Hz. The nervous system of a normal person can be overly sensitive to this frequency range.

    However, after middle age, all the functions of the body are declining, and the nervous system is also declining. Naturally, the sensitivity to sound processing will gradually decrease. When it descends to a certain level, it will produce the phenomenon of hearing clearly, which is what we commonly call "behind the ear".

    The more high-frequency parts of the sound, the more insensitive. Especially in noisy environments, the nervous system is less sensitive to the target signals that need to be captured, and the sounds you need to listen to are more difficult to hear.

    Hearing loss in people basically starts at high frequencies. The frequency of human speech is about 50-500 Hz, men generally speak at 50-200 Hz, and women speak more frequently. Because the nervous system is not sensitive to higher frequencies, the high-frequency part of the other person's speech is missing.

    To put it bluntly, the voice that the old man hears is not all of the other party's voice, and since it is not all the voice, it must feel that the voice is ambiguous, which is the fundamental reason why the old man does not listen to the voice.
