The ability to hear allows us to socialize with others. This is why it is important to protect hearing health. Constant exposure to loud noise may lead to hearing damage. A recent study has now identified second-hand smoke, as another cause of hearing loss.
Professor Anil Lalwani, from the New York University School of Medicine, took part in a recent study. More than 1,500 teenagers were tested and the results showed the negative effect smoke could have on hearing. The professor states, “We need to evaluate how we deal with smoking in public places and at home, as well as how often and when we screen children for hearing loss."
If you have been exposed to second-hand smoke, you may be at risk of hearing damage. Visit your local Miami Hearing Center. An audiologist will be able to diagnose and treat your condition effectively.
