Still, a great deal of theorizing takes place. Here, researchers discuss the causes of hearing loss and Alzheimer’s disease, given that the two conditions tend to co-occur more often than mere chance would lead to. Some underlying process contributes meaningfully to both, and in the treatment of aging, it is best to aim as close to the root causes as possible. That is where the greatest benefit will be achieved.
