Are you aware that your cardiovascular health can be an indicator of hearing health? And vice versa?
Our cardiovascular system is made up of our heart, arteries and veins. A number of studies show that having a healthy cardiovascular system tends to make it more likely that a person will have good hearing.
It makes sense, then, that when blood flow to the inner ear is compromised and blood vessels are damaged, it’s more likely that a hearing impairment will develop. The fact is that the functioning of the inner ear is so sensitive to blood flow that an audiogram (a graph showing the results of a test of the hearing ability of each ear) may actually represent a screening test for those at risk for peripheral arterial disease, which is a circulatory problem caused by narrowing arteries that reduces blood flow to limbs.
In fact, some cardiovascular doctors believe that patients with low-frequency hearing loss should be regarded as at risk for cardiovascular events, and appropriate referrals be considered.
If you believe you have a hearing loss please give us a call. As a Doctor of Audiology, Brenda’s practice focus is broad enough to provide hearing healthcare in a manner that arms you with the information you need to optimize overall hearing health and wellness.
