  1. Hearing In Old Age And What To Do To Cure The Problems Hearing results from the ear-brain couple. The ear picks up the sound waves and transmits the vibrations to the cochlea. There, hair cells transform them into electrical signals transmitted to the brain by the auditory nerve. It is at this level that the sounds are processed, interpreted and memorized. To fulfil its functions, the ear is divided into three parts: the outer ear, the middle ear and the inner ear. The outer ear consists of the pavilion (the visible part) and the ear canal leading to the eardrum. Its role is to capture and amplify the sounds and to bring the vibrations of the tympanum to the middle ear, which in turn transmits them via the ossicles to the inner ear containing the cochlea and the hair cells.

First, there are only 15,000 sensory cells in each of our ears and they wear out under the weight of the noise pressure since we were born. Secondly, these damaged cells are destroyed and are not renewed. If you feel you are not fully at your normal hearing you should go to an ear clinic in London for an assessment.
