Presbycusis results from damage to small, delicate auditory cells in the ear, while the lens of the eye changes shape, but is not damaged. Presbycusis is a condition caused by inherited genetic traits while presbyopia is caused by environmental stress. Presbycusis does not significantly affect hearing, but presbyopia can lead to permanent loss of vision. Presbycusis is partly caused by exposure to too much loud noise, and presbyopia is partly caused by exposure to too much bright light.arrow_forwardI am needing clarification of why cochlear implants bypass damaged hair cells?arrow_forward
