Lost In The Haze
Not only does smoking increase the risk of developing certain cancers, heart disease, and other health problems, but it may also lead to hearing loss. According to a recent study involving over 50,000 people between the ages of 20 and 64 who underwent annual hearing assessments for eight years, smokers were found to be significantly more likely than never-smokers and former smokers to develop hearing loss, especially in the high-frequency range. While the risk of hearing loss increased with the number of cigarettes smoked each day, the risk declined for people who quit smoking even if they quit less than five years after the study began. This latter finding provides smokers with even more reason to give up their habit.

P.S. The nicotine in cigarettes causes hearing loss by tightening blood vessels and restricting blood flow in the ears.

How Alan Transformed His Hearing Health with Expert Care That Put Him First
Alan’s story starts like many others.: with turning up the volume. “I first realised there was something up with my hearing when my wife complained about the TV volume, and I found myself missing conversations in group settings,” he recalls. These small signs are often the first hints of hearing loss, yet many dismiss them for months or even years, nervous about the stigmas associated with hearing aids and hearing care.
