As we age, it becomes more difficult for us to hear higher frequency sounds due to the gradual loss of hair cells in the inner ear, which are crucial for sound detection. This decline in auditory function, known as presbycusis, affects the ability to discern speech, especially in noisy environments. Additionally, changes in the auditory processing centers of the brain can further complicate sound perception. Consequently, many older adults may struggle to understand conversations and experience a reduced quality of life related to communication.
