AnnotationHearing impairment is an inevitable accompaniment to increasing age, and gives rise to progressive hearing difficulty such that by the age of 70, one person in two has difficulty in social communication. The deficit in hearing manifests itself in the frequency of requests for information to be repeated, in raising the volume level on the television and radio, and in the oft-repeated complaint that others do not speak clearly but mutter.
