February is American Heart Month 💗 and here's something that might surprise you: your heart health and hearing health are closely connected.
Your inner ear has tiny hair cells that help you hear, and they need a constant supply of oxygen-rich blood to work properly. When cardiovascular issues like high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or diabetes restrict blood flow, it can damage these delicate structures and lead to permanent hearing loss.
The good news? Taking care of your heart helps protect your hearing too. Regular exercise, a balanced diet, and managing conditions like hypertension can support both your cardiovascular system and your ears.
If you've noticed changes in your hearing or have risk factors for heart disease, it's worth getting your hearing checked. Your ears might be telling you something important about your overall health.
