Many affected individuals have difficulty understanding words because, although they may be able to hear the sound, they are unable to distinguish the exact words. This hearing loss is most noticeable at higher frequencies. Which of the following statements correctly describes an individual suffering from presbycusis? Select one: a. Individuals with presbycusis have damaged hair cells at the base of the cochlea, which is closest to the oval window. b. Increasing the volume of higher frequency sound allows individuals affected with presbycusis to hear better. O c. Individuals with presbycusis have damaged hair cells at the apex of the cochlea, which is farthest from to the oval window. Od. Decreasing the amplitude of lower frequency sound allows individuals affected with presbycusis to hear better.arrow_forward
