This is a stretch to respond with the following idea...but here goes. My mother has worked all of her life wearing headphones next to her ears (as a medical secretary). For years she complained of occassional headaches but wasn't diagnosed until she was 78. Nontheless...although the cause is unknown for PD, could the electronic magnetic resonance from devices like headphones (and other ultrasonic devices) contribute? Are there any studies to show any kind of correlation to this? We have always wondered this.
