JSDoc - how to check types for JavaScript

jshint is not aware of jsdoc comments. You could however look at using eslint and writing a plugin for it that would perform type checking on function calls. Depending on how your project is set up you might end up having to pre-parse your code to extract the comments into a rules file that your eslint rule would use.
