My dad recently retired at a bit older age, but I have noticed a decrease in attentiveness over the last 10 years. There are some other factors that may have contributed (stage 4 throat cancer diagnosis and melanoma w/ chemo and radiation to neck area), but my paternal grandfather exhibited similar behaviors in his later years.
My grandfather struggled with hearing and you would often have to repeat things to him as he would have trouble focusing on one source of sound, or even if there was quiet, he would still have to focus on what you were saying. My dad is starting that as well.
My dad is also big into puzzles/reading and you often have to be pretty aggressive with pulling him out of it to speak to him, again I think to “focusing” on a sound.
So I don’t think it’s entirely related to a diminished brain function, but possibly impaired hearing could affect his ability to hear/process complete data being communicated. I’m a bit worried myself that I’m destined for this and will only be exacerbated by 13 yrs of getting my head smashed in.
Not saying it’s applicable to your father, but there are times I think my dad is becoming less with us as well, but the hearing I think affects him a lot more.
It's not Alzheimer's or Dimentia, he just doesn't care.
