Essential tremor appears to affect hearing

Researchers at the Baylor College of Medicine noted a high rate of hearing loss in patients with essential tremor. They performed the Nursing Home Hearing Handicap Index, audiological testing, and an assessment of hearing aid use.

People with severe tremors may need assistance from caregivers with hearing aid maintenance. Additional hearing warranties should be considered due to an increased possibility of the hearing aid being dropped or damaged.
