Did you know your heart can affect your hearing?
Your inner ear relies on healthy blood flow to keep its tiny, delicate structures working well. When circulation is reduced (think high blood pressure, diabetes, high cholesterol, or smoking), the inner ear may not get the oxygen and nutrients it needs: sometimes showing up as gradual hearing changes or even tinnitus.
For American Heart Month, here are a few “two-for-one” habits that support BOTH heart health and hearing:
• Move more (even a daily walk helps)
• Manage blood pressure and blood sugar
• Don’t ignore persistent ringing in the ears
• Protect your ears from loud noise
If you’ve noticed muffled speech, trouble hearing in noise, or ringing, don’t wait: let’s check in on your hearing.
