Presbycusis treatment in León

Presbycusis is mainly addressed by the otolaryngologist, with support from the geriatrician and the general practitioner when it comes to older adults. Presbycusis is the progressive decline in hearing associated with aging, which usually affects high-pitched sounds first.

Common symptoms:

• difficulty following conversations, especially in noisy places
• a sense that people are speaking softly or unclearly
• the need to turn up the television volume

Common causes: natural changes in the inner ear over the years, sometimes influenced by prolonged exposure to noise.

If you notice that hearing becomes harder over time, a professional hearing evaluation can provide guidance on the available options.
