Usually unrelated: Dementia by itself does not cause hearing loss. However, hearing loss can lead to some symptoms that are similar to dementia caused symtoms.

Not common: Hearing loss is common in the same group of age but is not caused by the dementia unless the pt had encephalitis. It is likely a coindicende with sensorineural herring loss.
