Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

As individuals age, they tend to experience a decline in their visual acuity, especially when it comes to focusing on nearby objects. This is due to changes in the lens of the eye, which becomes less flexible and less able to adjust to different distances. Age-related hearing loss (presbycusis) tends to affect the ability to hear higher-pitched sounds, while taste and smell tend to decline with age as well, but not to the same extent as vision and hearing.
