Anosmia is the inability to smell. Some people have trusted Source anosmia from birth, whereas others lose their ability to smell over time. Experts suggest that anosmia and hyposmia affect about 3–20% of the population. Hyposmia is a decreased ability to smell. Sometimes people call anosmia smell blindness. The condition may be permanent or temporary.
Smell is a complex process that involves trusted Source communication between the brain and nose. When a person sniffs an odor, air travels into the nose, and the odor molecules attach to receptors on the nerve that sense smell, called the olfactory nerve. These nerves line the olfactory epithelium, which is the tissue lining the nasal cavity. When odor molecules from the environment stimulate these nerves, they transmit signals to the brain. The brain receives the olfactory information and processes it into a scent that a person can identify.
