Yes it could be the hardware that has trouble reading the disc.
If you are sure that nothing has changed software-wise then it can't be
much else than the hardware. Are the discs in question heavily used
so it could be that they have many scratches?

If you run ogle --debug you might get some more info.
Also check /var/log/messages or run 'dmesg' to see if the kernel
writes any error messages about not being able to read the blocks.
