107 Is Your Hearing Loss Related to Parkinson's?

I had a random request from a listener a few months ago. She was struggling with her hearing and wondered if it could be another symptom of Parkinson’s. My first thought was no, I hadn’t heard of that before. But, I told her I would look into it. To my surprise, hearing loss and Auditory Processing Disorder (APD) is another gift PD can give.

So, let’s explore the what, how, and why People with Parkinson’s may experience hearing loss or APD. First we will learn about the differences between hearing loss and APD which is important to understand. I spoke with an expert on this topic who has a professional and personal connection.

Let’s listen to the discussion.
