The earpiece he wore while acting, I suspect, was due to the well documented hearing loss he suffered while making the Die Hard movie.

Aphasia can be a symptom of alzheimer's, dementia and other brain damage. I think they're just trying to sugar coat how bad his situation really is.
If he knew what was going on, you'd have to think he'd release a statement on his own and not have his family making his decisions for him at age 67.
Like I said, from what I heard from an agent in the business, Bruce wanted to keep working and doing movies, even if he didn't know what was going on most of the time. But there's also the fear that people close to him were exploiting him.
