Researchers led by Dr. Frank Lin at Johns Hopkins have found that for every 10 decibels of hearing loss there may be a corresponding link to a greater probability of Alzheimer's incidence of approximately 20%! What this means, as researchers have surmised, is that tonal sensitivity is a promising new measure for the condition. Similarly, olfactory sensation decline also is linked to the onset of Alzheimer's.
