Navigating Age-Related Hearing Loss With Inland Hearing

For numerous seniors in the Moses Lake, Omak, and Ellensburg regions, the once-clear sounds of everyday life have become progressively muted.

This isn’t an isolated incident. Rather, it’s a universal narrative intertwined with aging. The culprit? Presbycusis, a type of age-related hearing loss.

Understanding Presbycusis

Presbycusis is the gradual deterioration of high-pitched hearing that affects many as they age. Picture trying to tune in to a radio station with a weak signal. Sounds become less distinct, especially those at higher pitches, such as children’s laughter or a woman’s voice.

And it’s not merely an inconvenience; presbycusis can morph into a barrier, separating you from loved ones and cherished memories. It’s as if the vibrant sounds of life have been turned down, one notch at a time.

For over 25 years, Inland Hearing has been on a mission: to restore clarity and connection for thousands in our community.

Spotting the Signs

The first signs of presbycusis can be subtle. Perhaps you find yourself asking family members to repeat themselves more frequently. Maybe the TV volume seems perpetually too low, even when others insist it’s blaring.

Often, seniors describe a persistent tinnitus, a ringing or buzzing sensation in their ears. Such symptoms, although seemingly benign at first, can snowball into larger challenges. Social gatherings become daunting puzzles of missed words and misunderstood jokes. Important phone calls turn into exercises in frustration.

Beyond the Ears: The Broader Impacts of Presbycusis

Presbycusis isn’t solely an auditory issue; it has tentacles that reach into various facets of health:
