I'm guessing that when you're young, you notice such mistakes less because you're happy and excited to be working on new stuff. Also, because stuff is new, you tend to be a bit more careful to do things "right".
As you age and slide into a comfort zone, you begin to get a bit lazy, and expect things to just keep rolling along the same way they always have. As a result, typos become more noticeable because they interrupt your flow which you've gotten accustomed to. And any slight decline will seem like a big decline because it's that much more annoying.
