New study investigates the link between hearing loss and Alzheimer’s disease
A new study – The Auditory Biomarkers of Healthy Ageing and Alzheimer’s Disease (ABHAD) study – being conducted by Dr Jenna Littlejohn from the University of Manchester and Dr Ross Dunne from Greater Manchester Mental Health NHS Foundation Trust, is investigating the link between hearing loss and Alzheimer’s disease.
The study is aiming to find out why people with Alzheimer’s often have hearing problems, and whether detecting changes in hearing earlier could help to spot Alzheimer’s sooner.
