How can you differentiate between age related hearing loss and neurosensory hearing loss?
Age related hearing loss or Presbycusis, is describing a possible cause of hearing loss that is best attributed by aging as the "possible cause". Sensorineural hearing loss is a description of a type of hearing loss determined by a hearing test. Confusing? Well, the easiest way is to describe it is : determine your age? can you best descibed as a older person? We can use a example, you may be you over 60 years old and have just had a hearing test and it has been been determined that you have a gradual decline in your hearing that is sensorinueral in nature. It may be described as a sign of aging hearing loss and you may need a hearing aid. Sensorineral hearing loss, however can affect anyone at any age, at any time suddenly or long term decline in your hearing. A easier way to understand is needing reading glasses as you get older, aging hearing loss means your hearing is changing do to possible age related conditions and a hearing aid can provide help to understand speech such as reading glasses helps with reading. You can still hear and you can still see, but not as well as you used to so a little help can make a world of difference. "Sensorineural" hearing loss is a description of hearing loss that is based on the area affected is the hearing nerves located in the inner ear (cochlea) loss. A hearing test can determine the type of loss and Hearing losses can decribed of three types Conductive-which means something is wrong with the mechanical parts of the hearing process. A example is a hole in the eardrum. Sensorineural- which means something wrong with the electrical parts of the hearing process. A example like measles. Mixed- is a combined hearing loss in both parts of the hearing process. Next step is to determine the possible cause of the hearing loss, in most cases there may be no obivious reason. So, Presbycusis may be used as possible cause and description of what would be reasonable and expected for a aging person. As we get older, we notice that a lot of body parts wear out from use and changes that we go through are more pronounced. For example. skin cuts may take longer to heal, knees and hips joints wear out, short term memory becomes less sharp. With the ears the hearing nerve cells (which we think, do not replace themselves) become worn out and become less dense or sparse just like the hair on the head of a older person. We understand that all parts of the hearing system wear out from use such as the eardrum, hearing bones, hearing nerves and most important of all the hearing part of the brain, that is the ability to understand speech and sound. All together that adds up to hearing loss due to aging.

Does AARP United Healthcare for seniors cover hearing aids?
Medicare does not pay for hearing aids. Some insurance plans do have some coverage for hearing, but most hearing aid consumers pay out of pocket for all or most of their purchases. The average cost for a pair of hearing aids is around $4,000 (two hearing aids). Recently, a lot of web-based services have popped up, like Discount Hearing Connection -http://www.discounthearingconnection.com - these sites allow hearing aid consumers to shop around for hearing aids to get the best possible price.
