In part two of this three-part series on Parkinson's and the senses, the panel discusses how Parkinson's affects hearing, touch, and the ability to handle busy environments. They cover brain processing sound slower, overstimulation in noisy and crowded places, proprioception and not knowing where your body is in space, the challenge of touchscreens and keypads, and how loss of dexterity has directly impacted their careers.
