Although traditionally considered a disorder of younger individuals, migraine frequently persists or presents after the age of 60 with atypical features, contributing to diagnostic uncertainty.
No actionable change for audiologists; this review addresses geriatric migraine and aging biology with no direct audiology or hearing-loss clinical guidance.
While migraine has vestibular manifestations (e.g., vestibular migraine) relevant to audiologists, this review focuses on the broader geriatric and public health framing with limited direct audiology implications.
