The Link Between Hearing and Heart Health - AI Podcast
Story at-a-glance
- Hearing loss increases heart failure risk by up to 28%, even after adjusting for lifestyle and genetic factors, according to research following over 164,000 adults
- The inner ear's high blood flow needs make it vulnerable to circulatory problems, which serve as an early warning sign of vascular issues affecting the heart
- Psychological distress from hearing difficulties accounts for nearly 17% of the increased heart failure risk due to resulting inflammation, oxidative stress and negative cardiovascular changes
- Hearing aids don't eliminate the increased heart failure risk, which suggests underlying vascular damage rather than just auditory issues is responsible
- Reducing processed foods, managing stress, increasing gentle movement and supplementing with magnesium help protect both hearing and heart health
