In a study published in the June 2010 issue of the American Journal of Audiology, authors Raymond H. When this happens, a person may also develop tinnitus, or ringing in the ears. Because these hair cells do not regenerate, it results in permanent hearing loss. Poor circulation robs these hair cells of adequate oxygen, causing damage or destruction. That’s because the delicate hair cells in the cochlea, which play an important role in translating the noise your ears collect into electrical impulses for the brain to interpret as recognizable sound, rely on good circulation. This is also why hearing loss and diabetes are connected. Conversely, inadequate blood flow and trauma to the blood vessels of the inner ear can contribute to hearing loss.
Studies have shown that good circulation plays a role in maintaining good hearing health. So what does your heart health have to do with your hearing? It’s all about blood flow. "An alarming number of Americans don’t understand how serious the threat of heart disease is to them personally, or how closely intertwined it is with other health conditions, such as hearing health." The connection between heart health and hearing loss We urge women and men alike to know their risks and to take action today to protect their heart and hearing health.” “Yet, an alarming number of Americans don’t understand how serious the threat of heart disease is to them personally, or how closely intertwined it is with other health conditions, such as hearing health. “Cardiovascular disease robs the life of about one American every minute, and heart disease is the #1 killer of women,” Sergei Kochkin, PhD, hearing industry market researcher and former Executive Director of the Better Hearing Institute, said. In other cases, disorders of the heart’s muscles, valves or rhythm lead to other types of heart disease, such as heart failure. Most heart disease is linked to blood vessel damage from high blood pressure (hypertension) and/or stiffened, narrowed arteries (arteriosclerosis) from high cholesterol. These problems can cause blockages, spasms or ruptures of both major or minor vessels, leading to chest pain, a heart attack or stroke. Heart health plays a role in your hearingĪccording to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), heart disease is the leading cause of death in both men and women, killing nearly 610,000 people every year in the United States. But did you also know that heart disease is linked to hearing loss? A healthy cardiovascular system, researchers have discovered, is healthy for the auditory system, too. Heart disease is a top cause of death for both men and women.
