Question

Which of the various sensory/perceptual changes of aging would you find most difficult to handle?

Answer 1

Various sensory changes seen during old age which causes problems are hearing loss,vision,touch,smell and taste problems.

Out of this hearing and vision loss will be most difficult to handle in my opinion because hearing and vision are necessary for day to day life because it helps u to understand and communication mostly depends upon these two.

Loss of hearing mostly effects communication and there will be both physical and emotional problems with this because if we are not able to hear doorbells,phone ringing, instructions for medicines, enable to hear a car sound when crossing will cause serious problems for people.

Emotionally it may cause social distancing, depression,low self esteem, communication problems etc.

VISION.

It cause us to depend on others for daily activities such as cooking, navigating, crossing streets and people are not able to read medication labels, can't able to walk on their own without the fear of falling etc.

It makes us completely dependent on others.
