Question 1 of 5

A nurse is teaching a class about physiological changes to hearing in older adult patients. Which of the following should the nurse include?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: Decreased ability to hear high-frequency sounds. As people age, the inner ear structures responsible for detecting high-frequency sounds tend to deteriorate, leading to a decreased ability to hear those sounds. This is known as presbycusis, a common age-related hearing loss. The other choices are incorrect because: A: The thickness of the tympanic membrane does not significantly change with age. B: Tinnitus is a perception of ringing or buzzing in the ears and can actually increase in older adults. D: Ear wax production tends to increase with age rather than decrease.
