1. THE LINK BETWEEN HEARING LOSS AND HEART
DISEASE
Recent studies have shown that there is
a definitive link between hearing loss and
heart disease. Researchers have long
been aware that healthy blood flow to the
inner ear is critical to healthy hearing.
Now they believe that the inner ear is so
sensitive to blood flow, that low
frequency hearing loss could signal the presence or possible
development of heart disease.
In fact, according to a study of older adults , those who have a
history of heart disease are 54% more likely to suffer from
various degrees of hearing loss. This same study also showed
that those who exercised at least once per week reduced their
chances of suffering from hearing loss by 32% when compared to
those who did not exercise.
According to the American Heart Association, heart disease is our
nation’s #1 killer. To protect your heart (and ultimately your
ability to hear and understand the world around you), maintain a
healthy weight through diet and exercise.
If you are a smoker, stop. Be sure to confide in your doctor if
you have a family history of early heart disease. Have regular
physical exams and hearing loss evaluations. Then follow the
recommendations prescribed to avoid the devastating effects that
hearing loss and heart disease can have on your life.
