Discrimination Testing: Understanding the Importance of This Hearing Test
The results from your latest hearing test may have shown that you were experiencing some form of hearing loss, which, in general, happens gradually as you age. The medical term for hearing loss related to aging is “presbyacusis,” and both exposure to loud noises (tools, machinery, or guns, for example) and genetics can contribute to certain types of hearing problems. Less commonly in people over 55, hearing loss can be caused by infections or inner ear injury.
