At the age of 27year and no history of head injury, memory problems are more often related to stress and anxiety. A psychiatric evaluation may be useful.

I used to use earphones for longer hours.And recently my left ear started to pain slightly when I use earphones and along with an uncomfortable feeling in that particular ear. I get irritated when I hear loud noises these days and there is slight persistent pain (very little) in d same ear.

Dr. Jyoti Kapoor Madan

Psychiatry

Parkinsonism is Disorder of motor activity characterised by slowness of movement and stiffness. Memory loss is a consequence of dementia. Both can occur together. Dementia involves damage of nerve cells in the brain, which can occur in several areas of the brain. Dementia affects people differently, depending on the area of the brain affected. Most types of dementia can't be cured, but there are ways to manage the behavioural symptoms. A neurological and psychiatric evaluation is required to make a rehabilitation plan for such patients.
