Description
Meher Lad, Timothy Griffiths, and John-Paul Taylor tested in 2025 how hearing in the brain, not just the ear, links to Alzheimer disease signs. Hearing loss is tied to the disease, but which hearing skills matter was unclear. Two hundred people, most with normal thinking and some with impairment or dementia, took hearing and thinking tests and brain scans.
Skills such as picking speech out of noise and remembering sounds for longer stretches tracked with impairment across the disease range. Certain hearing measures also tied on their own to brain shape and wiring measures. The authors propose hearing in the brain as a distinct marker of thinking in this disease.
