Aging And Senses

Aging and Senses explores the changes in sight, hearing, taste, smell, and touch as we age, revealing how these sensory shifts influence our lives. It highlights how sensory decline, often underestimated, significantly impacts our well-being and independence as we get older. Interestingly, sensory changes aren't just about physical decline; they also affect cognitive function, emotional health, and social interactions.

The book starts by explaining how each sense functions in early adulthood, then details specific age-related changes, such as presbycusis (age-related hearing loss) and changes in taste and smell. It argues that while some sensory decline is inevitable, lifestyle choices and interventions can make a real difference.

The book emphasizes that we can actively engage in maintaining our sensory health, providing evidence-based strategies like dietary recommendations, exercise, sensory training, and assistive technologies to mitigate sensory decline. It's designed for older adults, caregivers, healthcare professionals, and anyone interested in gerontology and sensory science.
