Question

Age-related declines in hearing __________.

a. are more than twice as rapid for men as for women

b. begin at low frequencies and gradually extend higher

c. are slightly more rapid for women than for men

d. begin after age 50 for most men and women

Answer 1

The correct answer is D. Begin after age 50 for most men and women.

Step-by-step explanation:

Age-related hearing loss refers to the loss of hearing that it is produced when we grow older. This condition principally affects older adults. It is said that in the United States some people between 65 and 74 years old are affected by this condition.

People who have this condition usually do not understand well aspects regarding doctor's advice, hear phones as well as respond to warnings, and it also can affect people's relationships with their family and friends. Age-related hearing is a problem that commonly occurs in both ears, and in most cases it affects both ears in the same way.

Answer 2

The correct answer is d. begin after age 50 for most men and women

Age related declines in hearing most often begin after age 50 in men and women. Age related hearing loss is first noticed when it comes to hearing high frequency sounds, which steadily extends to sounds of even lower frequencies. Age related hearing loss is also called presbycusis. Older individuals might also have difficulties in hearing due to noise-induced hearing loss.
