Could rambling be a sign of a mental problem? What would cause it?

I am concerned about a family member who seems to be deteriorating mentally. Could it be a sign something is wrong if someone talks AT people and ramble like they are thinking out loud, but don't seem able to hold a back and forth conversation?
Other family members have speculated that maybe he is losing his hearing and can't hear what we are saying. I fear he may be losing his mind. He doesn't respond to things we say back. He just talks AT us. But, I suppose some people just do this.

What mental condition might cause such a symptom?
