A recent study out of Taiwan has found that Parkinson's disease is associated with a higher risk of hearing loss. In fact, the incidence of hearing loss was almost double in people with Parkinson's.
Parkinson's disease is associated with a decrease in the neurotransmitter dopamine. Low dopamine can also result in damage to the sensory organ of hearing, the cochlea, causing hearing loss.

Always great services and speed of the return of ear devices that I have a tendency to unintentionally break or whenever the devices aren't quite working right.
