THE SAME OLD STORY

At about age 60, we generally
experience a gradual lessening in
our hearing ability due to the fact
that the sensory hair cells of our
inner ears begin to die. The first
to deteriorate are those hair cells
which receive the higher frequency
tones. As a result, those who
experience presbycusis (age re-
lated hearing loss) may initially be
unable to detect the high pitched
speech of women and children.
Eventually, it may also be difficult
to discern speech of lower fre-
quency, especially in the presence
of background noise. While the
wearing of a hearing instrument
or other assistive listening device
may prove helpful to the 58 per-
cent of people over age 65 who
experience presbycusis, surveys
show that only 8 percent avail
themselves of the opportunity.

If you are avoiding crowds and
people because you are straining
hard to hear what people are
saying, please call us at CRUZ
HEARING AID SERVICE to sched-
ule an appointment. Hearing aids,
if fit and worn properly, can have
a profoundly positive effect on
people's lives. We carry a variety
of different brands of hearing aids
to best suit your individual needs.
Please call us at 424-8450. We
are conveniently located at 18899
W. 12 Mile Rd., in Lathrup Village.
We will also visit your home or
nursing home if you are unable to
come to our office.
P.S. It is rare that presbycusis
can lead to complete deafness,
but it remains a major obstacle in
the way of personal commu-
nication.
