Introduction[edit | edit source]
The sense of hearing is of paramount importance in spoken communication, and age-related hearing loss can lead to porblems with communication, decreased awareness of environmental clues and even social isolation.
Histologic changes associated with aging occur throughout the auditory system from the hair cells of the cochlea to the auditory cortex in the temporal lobe of the brain.
