Scientists have found a way to recognize Alzheimer's disease using the eyes and ears.
People with this disease often have problems with eye movement. The changes are associated with problems in the brain.
Usually, expensive equipment is required to diagnose the disease, but scientists have found a way to solve the problem, Moskovsky Komsomolets emphasizes.
They have proposed a new method that allows the disease to be detected using hearing aids.
The thing is that eye movements cause certain vibrations in the ears, which can be detected with a special device. It records these vibrations and helps to detect the disease at an early stage.
The new approach allows for faster detection of the disease and initiation of treatment.
Scientists emphasize that hearing aids could become an important tool for diagnosing Alzheimer's disease.
For reference
Alzheimer's disease is the most common form of dementia, a neurodegenerative disorder.
