A new study published in the Journal of American Medical Association showed that hearing loss may indicate early extrastriatal pathology and increase the likelihood of Parkinson's disease. It is uncertain if objective hearing loss increases the incidence of Parkinson disease (PD). Self-reported hearing loss is used insensitively in PD investigations, and there is a dearth of objective data. Thus, Lee Neilson and colleagues carried out this study to investigate the relationship between incident PD and hearing loss in US veterans, as well as how well-known prodromal disorders and hearing aids may alter this relationship.
