My BIL, who has been a close friend for decades, now has been institutionalized with Alzheimer's. He was a brilliant, politically important man, who was admired by many. He was an avid hunter, I presumed his hearing loss over the years, was from gunshot noise.
I am 74 with tinnitus for decades, yet I am still able to work in a technically intense field. I have had a neurologist tell me that hearing loss can be caused by dementia, but he doubts that dementia causes hearing loss.

Also, I think it's the other way around. It would be weird for dementia to cause hearing loss, whereas hearing loss can affect cognition, and as Steve Carrell says, if you don't use it, you lose it.
