This research highlights how your overall health can have an effect on your hearing and why it’s important to look after your body.
(PRWEB UK) 13 February 2013
It has been reported that people with heart disease are fifty-four per cent more likely to develop hearing loss than the general population.
The inner ear is extremely sensitive to blood flow and an inadequate blood flow and the consequent trauma to the blood vessels of the inner ear can contribute to hearing loss.
The research from Harvard University has identified that hearing nerves are so fragile that the ears are likely to be the first organs damaged by cardiovascular disease.
It highlights a contributing factor towards hearing loss and the importance of all round health to support hearing.
A spokesperson for Hidden Hearing said:
“This research highlights how your overall health can have an effect on your hearing and why it’s important to look after your body. The ears are a fragile organ and it is important to look after them by looking after your body. If you suffer from heart disease, it is important to monitor your hearing also.
"Common signs to look out for with hearing loss are asking people to repeat themselves constantly because you can't hear what they're saying, straining to hear the television and radio and sensitivity to some frequencies of noise.
"Book a free no obligation appointment at your local Hidden Hearing centre if you think your hearing has been affected.”
