Change in our senses is a common phenomena that almost everyone will have to go through as they age. All our senses are affected by age whether it is the sense of sight, hearing, taste, touch, or even smell. This makes everyday life a little more complicated for seniors as they have to gradually deal with changes in their senses. These changes are natural and part of our growth, however, they don\u2019t have to be negatively impacting our lives for a long time.
