“…The type of HLP associated with inner ear dysfunction j appears to be most commonly types IV, Ha and lib (WHO classification) in order of frequency (Spencer, 1973). The correlation between the development of HLP, atherosclerosis and inner ear dysfunction is well documented (Rosen et al, 1965(Rosen et al, , 1970. This may be related to atheromatous disease of the vessels of the stria vascularis, or the HLP may cause some derangement of the metabolic process resulting in inner ear dysfunction.…”

“…In addition, Rosen and colleagues conducted a series of ecological studies that showed that the prevalence of hearing impairment was higher in countries or regions with high rates of CVD compared with countries/regions with low rates of CVD. 19,20 They also conducted a hearing study ancillary to a clinical trial designed to evaluate the effects of lowering dietary cholesterol on serum cholesterol levels. 21 Rosen et al 21 tested participants' hearing at the end of a dietary trial and 4 years after the diets were switched (the hospital that had been on the low atherogenic diet was returned to the usual Finnish diet and the "control" hospital was changed to the low atherogenic diet).…”

The prevalence of hearing impairment, as well as many other medical conditions, increases with age. Epidemiological evidence also suggests that the prevalence of hearing impairment, cardiovascular disease, and possibly dementia have declined during the 20th century. Differences in disease occurrence by birth year indicate that modifiable risk factors contribute to these diseases and that exposure to these risk factors changed over time. This article discusses the co-occurrence of chronic conditions at older ages, along with their shared risk factors and similar temporal trends. Recognition of these patterns is important for audiologists and other health care professionals who treat these complex patients, as well as for researchers investigating the underlying causes of these diseases. Various lines of evidence linking hearing impairment to other conditions and medication use point to the need for hearing health care to be better integrated with the broader health care system.Learning Outcomes: As a result of this activity, the participant will be able to (1) list at least three health conditions that may be more common in older people with hearing impairments and (2) identify findings from at least two studies that suggest that hearing impairment in older adults is at least partly preventable.

“…13,14 In a series of early ecologic studies, he found worse hearing in people living in areas with high rates of CVD compared to those living in areas with lower background rates of CVD. 15,16 It has been observed that women with ischemic heart disease were more likely than controls without atherosclerosis to have HI. 17 In the Framingham Heart Study, HI was associated with CVD events.…”

Objective The study’s purpose was to test if subclinical atherosclerosis was associated with the risk of developing HI in a large cohort of middle-aged participants. Methods Study subjects were members of the Beaver Dam Offspring Study (BOSS), a longitudinal study of adult children of participants in the population-based Epidemiology of Hearing Loss Study (1993-present). BOSS examinations took place in 2005–2008 (baseline) and 2010–2013 (5-year follow-up). The 5-year incidence of hearing impairment was defined as a pure-tone average (PTA) of thresholds at 0.5, 1, 2 and 4 kHz > 25 decibels Hearing Level (dB HL) in either ear at follow-up among participants at risk (baseline PTA in both ears < = 25 dB HL; n=2,436, mean age = 47.7 years). Atherosclerosis was measured as the mean carotid intima-media thickness and the presence of carotid artery plaque. Results Among the 1,984 participants at-risk with a follow-up audiometric examination, the 5-year incidence of hearing impairment was 8.3% (95% Confidence Interval (C.I.) 7.1, 9.5). With multivariable adjustment, carotid intima-media thickness was positively associated with hearing impairment incidence (Odds Ratio (OR) = 1.18 per 0.1 mm, 95% C.I. 1.05, 1.32). The number of sites (0–6) with plaque was also positively associated with the incidence of impairment (OR = 1.19 per site, 95% C.I. 1.01, 1.41). Conclusion Atherosclerosis was associated with the 5-year incidence of hearing impairment in this predominantly middle-aged cohort. Interventions targeting atherosclerosis prevention may help to prevent or delay the onset of hearing impairment.
