Problems with Taste
Frequently Asked Questions
20. What research is being done on taste
disorders?
The National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication
Disorders supports basic and clinical studies on smell and taste
disorders. This type of research is leading to a fuller
understanding of how our sense of taste works and how we detect and
taste sensations at the molecular level. Findings from this work
may result in the development of medicines and artificial food
products that will allow older adults with taste disorders to enjoy
food again. (Answer continues on next page.)
