How Is Heart Disease Connected to Hearing Loss?

Research has proven there is a link between heart disease and hearing loss. The ear holds several small arteries and requires a sufficient and rich blood flow to maintain proper function. When you have heart disease, your ears aren't receiving the proper blood flow because the heart isn't pumping enough blood to your ears. This can cause damage to different parts of the auditory system, often resulting in sensorineural hearing loss.

Hearing loss can be an early sign of heart disease and can indicate that there is something wrong with your cardiovascular health. If hearing loss doesn't run in your family and you are suddenly experiencing difficulty with your hearing, then you should visit a hearing specialist. A hearing specialist can test your hearing and determine what has caused your hearing loss.
