The loss of hearing increases the risk of a person’s heart failure, found in a new study.
The study found that the psychological crisis plays a “remarkable” role in developing problems with the heart due to hearing loss.
Chinese experts analyzed the UK biobank data from 164,431 people who completed the trials designed to determine the ability to hear for the study.
Of the total, some 160,062 did not wear a hearing device.
They were placed in three groups based on their performance in the digit triple test (DTT), which screens for problems by listening to problems using random combinations of digits against background noise.
All those involved in the analysis initially had heart failure, but, in a follow -up period of over 11 years, some 4,449 developed the situation.
Heart failure occurs when the heart cannot effectively pump blood, causing symptoms such as fatigue, shortness of breath and swelling in the legs and ankles.
It was estimated that the UK has a long -term state of over one million people.
Researchers found those who had a high speech reception threshold (SRT) – meaning that they needed a loud speech to understand the words – the risk of heart failure increased.
He said: “Compared to those with general hearing, there were more risk of heart failure among inadequate hearing, or hearing -hearing -assistance participants.”
The level of high SRT was also associated with psychological crisis, social separation and neuroticism among those who did not wear hearing equipment.
Researchers said: “We are the first to display that poor hearing capacity is significantly associated with high risk of heart failure of phenomena in the normal population.
“Psychological factor, especially psychological crisis, plays an important arbitration role in this union.
“If further confirmed, hearing loss may be a possible risk factor or marker for heart failure in the general population, which highlights the importance of integrating hearing health assessment in a comprehensive heart risk evaluation structure.
“In addition, strengthening psychological intervention in people with hearing losses can be an important way and strategy to reduce the risk of heart failure.”
