Hearing isn’t just about your ears. In order for you to be able to function, many different parts of your body have to be in harmony. At the heart of it all is – you guessed it – the heart. If your ticker isn’t working correctly, it can negatively impact your lungs, kidneys, liver, AND hearing.
Cardiovascular disease is a well-known factor in hearing loss: an Epidemiology of Hearing Loss Study (EHLS) found that sufferers of cardiovascular disease were 54 percent more likely to also suffer from hearing loss. There are other connections between heart health and healthy hearing: cardiovascular disease is highly impacted by your lifestyle.
Lifestyles likely to result in CVD also put one at a greater risk for high blood pressure and diabetes: two more bodily anomalies linked to hearing loss. Luckily, there are preventative measures you can take.
Regular exercise and proper diet have been proven effective in combating heart disease. Regular visits to your cardiologist and audiologist can also make sure you’re functioning in top condition.
