Anosmia and Hyposmia (Smell Loss)
Hyposmia is condition known as the reduced ability to smell, while anosmia is the complete loss of ability to smell. Most people don’t consider losing your sense of smell as a serious condition, but in reality, losing your ability to smell can have drastic effects on your life. For instance, smell is such an important part of tasting food that people with anosmia often lose their appetite or their enjoyment of food. Our sense of smell also alerts us of dangers like gas leaks, smoke, or other noxious fumes.
