Then it mentioned that hearing difficulties in late adulthood have several components: First, loss of frequency sounds ( Roland, Kutz, & Marcincuk, 2010). Second, difficulties with word discrimination ( Roland, Kutz, & Marcincuk, 2010). Older people have trouble hearing high loud sound and they forget knowing what word they have just heard. As a result, over age of 60 have problems hearing under noisy conditions. It is between 12 and 14 percent that over 65 years of age experience this problem (Asplund, 2003).
