From the underlined part of the sentence, we can single out the error
as the usage of more before hearing ability.
Since the hearing ability is singular it is correctly followed by singular verb(declines)
Also because is used in the sentence to define purpose.
In Option C, "as" is correctly used to convey the meaning of the sentence clearly.
The other options can be eliminated because Options B & D change the meaning of the sentence,
where as option E uses plural subject 'hearing abilities' but follows it with a singular verb.
