Hearing Fades As
Age Ambles Onward
CHICAGO U?) — Mr. average
male, just past his 32nd birthday,
sits down at the breafast table with
his wife as usual. She casually asks
if he would like sliced bananas
on his cereal. He continues read
ing his newspaper in silence.
“What’s the matter with you,’’
she cries in exaspiration. “Why
don’t you answer me?”
“Well, why don’t you speak
up?” he retorts, not aware yet
that people, especially females with
high-pitched voices, will have to
talk a little louder from now on
for him to hear them as well.
And, studies by a St. Louis
psychologist indicate, the average
male will lose more of his hear
ing at about age 50 and suffer a
third drop in hearing acuity when
he reaches the 59-65 age bracket.
Dr. John Corso, Ph.D., drew his
conclusions on hearing loss with
advancing age from study of 912
men and women who had been ex
posed to a minimum of industrial
noise and were presumed to have
normal hearing.
Writing in the current archives
of environmental health, published
by the American Medical Assn.,
he said a dimunition in hearing
acuity becomes noticeable in men
at age 32 and in women at age
37.
Marked changes in the hearing
of men, he said, occur on the aver
age in steps of about 15 years. In
women, he added, the changes are
more gradual, with deterioration
fairly uniform.
