If you don't watch what you eat and fail to exercise regularly, poor cardiovascular
health is only one risk you'll face. New evidence shows a link between poor heart
health and hearing loss. The inner ear is extremely sensitive to blood flow, so
obstructions in the arteries and veins can impact the peripheral and central
auditory systems, leading to hearing impairment. Conversely, when the heart
is healthy and the flow of blood is unimpeded, hearing problems are fewer.
The cochlea, a fluid-filled tube in the inner ear that translates sound into nerve
impulses, fails to function properly when damaged or subjected to decreased
blood flow. A study of 1,600 patients with a history of cardiovascular disease
showed they were 54% more likely to experience impaired cochlear function,
further evidence of how essential blood flow is to good hearing.
Doctors recommend taking preventative measures such as eating healthier,
losing weight, quitting smoking, and maintaining a healthy blood pressure.
Individuals with hearing loss are encouraged to undergo cardiovascular
screening to determine whether there is an increased health risk. Individuals
already diagnosed with heart disease should consider a hearing evaluation by
an Audiologist.
