Hearing (99% certain).
Scientists have done many tests on the middle aged to elderly wondering "What sense will begin to fail first?". The tests show that it is between hearing and taste. You know that lots of elderly have hearing problems, the problems can start as soon as 35. Taste problems are common, but nobody really notices. Taste dullness can occur as soon as 38, but it goes slowly. That's why they don't bother to serve the elderly great tasting food.
My sense of hearing is known as audition.
Hearing loss will not usually affect a persons sense of smell.
Opthamologists specialize in vision (sense of sight), audiologists in hearing (sense of hearing), dermatologists in touch (sense of touch), and sommeliers in taste (sense of taste).

In old age, the sense of high frequency hearing tends to decline first. This can make it difficult to hear sounds such as doorbells, telephones, or alarms.
