Age-related hearing loss, or presbycusis, is the slow loss of hearing that occurs as people get older. There is no known single cause of age-related hearing loss. Most commonly, it is caused by changes in the inner ear that occur as you grow older. Your genes and exposure to loud noise (industrial or recreational) can make the age-related hearing loss worse.

• Family history (age-related hearing loss tends to run in families)

• Repeated exposure to loud noises

• Smoking (smokers are more likely to have such hearing loss than non-smokers)

• Certain medical conditions, such as diabetes

• Certain medicines, such as chemotherapy drugs for cancer

Edgecliff Hearing audio logists are experts in hearing loss measurement and rehabilitation. If you need your hearing checked or earwax check-up, then contact our clinic Ph 02 9327 8280 www.edgecliffhearing.com.au
