You may not have thought so, but research suggests that smokers are more susceptible to hearing loss than non-smokers.
Smoking can affect your hearing health in a variety of ways due to the chemicals they contain that can deplete oxygen levels and constrict blood vessels all over your body – including those in your inner ear responsible for maintaining hair cell health.
Whether you’re a smoker or not, if you’re concerned about your hearing, visit Butlin Hearing in Howick or Pietermaritzburg for a FREE hearing screening, a comprehensive hearing test, or a new hearing device.
