Hearing changes are a natural part of aging. Your hearing ability is complex and is affected by more than your age or exposure to loud noises. Once your hearing is damaged, it may be gone for good. That is why it is essential to take care of your ears and your hearing.<\/span><\/p>\n

Here are five factors linked to your hearing health and advice on how you can promote good hearing health:<\/span><\/p>\n

1. Take care of your heart<\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Did you know your hearing health and your heart health are closely connected? A study by the American Journal of Audiology revealed that reduced blood flow caused by cardiovascular issues impacts your ears’ ability to intake and comprehend sound efficiently.<\/span><\/p>\n

Cardio exercises like walking, running, or cycling gets blood pumping to all parts of your body, including the ears. This helps the ears’ internal parts stay healthy and working to their maximum potential.<\/span><\/p>\n

2. Pay close attention to your diet<\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

A study by the University of Michigan (U-M) found that adding more vitamins and minerals to your diet may prevent hearing loss. In their original research on guinea pigs, researchers at U-M found that combining vitamins A, C, and E, plus magnesium, blocked about 80 percent of the noise-induced hearing impairment. Human trials have begun in Sweden, Spain, and Florida to test this combination in a pill form, referred to as AuraQuell. The medication is designed to be taken before a person is exposed to loud noises and prevents noise-induced damage to the ears by blocking some of the complex cellular reactions to noise.<\/span><\/p>\n

3. Red wine is good for your hearing health.<\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

While heavy drinking can increase your chances of experiencing high-frequency hearing loss, moderate alcohol intake, especially red wine, may help prevent hearing loss. A study by the Henry Ford Hospital found that rats given resveratrol (a compound found in the skin of red grapes) showed a reduced hearing loss and cognitive decline, compared to those not given the substance.<\/span><\/p>\n

4. Pay attention to these medications<\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Certain medications and illnesses can impact your ability to hear well. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) like aspirin, ibuprofen, and naproxen, can sometimes contribute to hearing loss. Discuss medications with your doctor if you’re concerned that they’ll impact your hearing ability, and take them only as directed.<\/span><\/p>\n

5. Keep your stress in check<\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Stress and anxiety have been linked to temporary and permanent tinnitus (a phantom ringing in the ears). High levels of stress cause your body to go into fight or flight mode, which is an instinctual reaction that fills your body with adrenaline to help you either fight or flee from danger. This process puts a lot of pressure on your nerves, blood flow, body heat, and more. It’s commonly thought that this pressure and stress can travel up into your inner ear and contribute to tinnitus symptoms.<\/span><\/p>\n

Healthy hearing means healthy living, and regular hearing tests can ensure your baseline hearing stays strong. If you are concerned, you may have hearing loss. You must have your hearing checked as soon as possible. Dr. Joe Griffith, AuD, CCC-A, is a certified audiologist who makes “house calls”.
