This trial studies how hearing relates to early memory and movement problems in Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases. It may help find new ways to detect and track these conditions.
This study follows older adults who have age-related hearing loss to see whether wearing hearing aids helps protect thinking and memory over time. You may be included if your hearing loss is the type that hearing aids can usually improve and if your thinking test scores suggest mild cognitive difficulties.
