How the Five Senses Change with Age
The ability to see and hear clearly and to taste and smell fully inevitably declines as people age. So does the sense of touch. With some exceptions, this is quite normal.

Ask The Expert

For as long as I remember, I have no significant sense of smell. I haven’t smelled gas leaks, bacon, coffee, flowers, etc. I had Scarlet Fever when I was a kid, and I was told I lost my sense of smell right after. Can an infection cause permanent loss of smell? What else causes you to lose your sense of smell?
