Definition:
Hyposmia is a sensory defect that results to the reduced sense of smell. The nose fails to recognize differences in odor properly. This is different, but associated with anosmia, where the nose can't smell odors at all. This condition can be due to allergies and infections that occurred in the nose, and is also a sign of premature Parkinson's disease.
