The answer is yes, but it doesn't mean you will acquire hearing loss with aging. There are many factors to consider...family loss, noise exposure, genetics, etc
Yes, but how much worse and how quickly it gets worse will depend on several variables like lifestyle (i.e., health, noise exposure, etc.) and genetics. Age-related hearing loss usually starts showing up in the 50s, and it's typically slow in its progression unless there are other variables accelerating it (i.e., poor health, noise exposure, chemotherapy, etc.).
