Age-related hearing loss, also known as Presbycusis, is one of the most common health conditions affecting older adults. It can begin as early as in a person’s thirties or forties. By the age of 80, most people will have experienced some form of hearing loss. Here is some basic data on how many people have hearing loss by age brackets, according to the Canadian Health Measures Survey (CHMS):
- Ages 20 to 39: 15%

- Ages 60 to 79: 78%

What is Age-Related Hearing Loss?
Age-related hearing loss first affects the ability to hear higher pitches. This may include soft speech sounds, greater difficulty hearing someone with a higher pitched voice (e.g., women and children) and mishearing beginnings or endings of words. The hearing loss commonly arises from changes in the inner ear as we age, or from complex changes along the nerve pathways from the ear to the brain.
