As we discussed the body has already started significant aging by age 35 at which time your sensory organs may show signs of wear and tear. One example of this is the ability to read things close up which is caused by a weakening of the eye muscle know as presbyopia.

We should not be shocked at the number of people under 35 who need to wear aids for their vision either contact lenses (the choice of many) and glasses. By the time you get to age 40 there is around a one in five chance you will be wearing glasses or contact lenses. Currently around 90 million people over 40 suffer from presbyopia in the US today. A figure which is increasing year on year.

On top failing eye sight you might also experience some hearing loss. Although not that common some people may even be deaf by age 40 and most notice some partial hearing loss. This is a condition know as presbycusis which is directly related to aging. One effect of this condition might be certain sounds become in audible or sound harsh or just to loud.

You might have enjoyed seeing your favorite rock band perform but now you find this is just to much for your ears to cope with. This is because the aging process has affected your hearing. You might find high pitch sounds less audible or maybe it's difficult to hear people in a crowded room or when the TV is on.

Since the hearing becomes weaker,you will hear speech patterns differently. For instance, the use of K may sound distorted, which affects your understanding. In other words, a older person with hearing weakness may hear the CH in a word, such as Chute Up, and think that someone is telling them to shut-up.

The CH sounds different. It is possible to help people with hearing problems or partial deafness in a number of ways by using hearing aids or other assistive listening devices. In addition it helps to face the person you are talking to and maybe use body language or hand gestures to assist in any explanation or conversation. Also speak clearly and more slowly.

These are all signs of natural healthy aging, yet in some aging signs are less natural. For instance, if you unfortunate enough to contract lung cancer because of a history of smoking, or being around second-hand smoke, then the cause is not what nature intended.
