ne of the first things I do when a patient comes to the clinic for a hearing evaluation for the first time, is complete a thorough medical history. Over the years, I’ve noticed a surprising number of people report sleep apnea – enough that I decided it was worth looking into. Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is the most common sleeprelated breathing disorder and is characterized by repetitive episodes of complete or partial collapse of the upper airway during sleep. The muscles that support the so tissues in the throat temporarily relax, reducing or even closing the airway. The diaphragm and chest muscles must work harder to pull air into your lungs, resulting in loud snoring, snorting and gasping. Common symptoms of OSA are daytime sleepiness, waking with a sore throat, high blood pressure, and more recently, it’s been discovered that you can
Maximum support, airpermeable and extremely light weight. The patented "Delta Pad" design, a concealing foam cup exclusively designed by Anita, ensures strong support, a smooth outline and air circulation.

add hearing loss to the list. A 2022 European study of almost 7,000 older adults reported that people with sleep apnea are 21% more likely to have hearing impairment. Research suggests that intermi ent hypoxia (insufficient oxygen supply to body tissues) associated with OSA, leads to a long-term decline in hearing thresholds. Those with OSA may also be more likely to experience sudden sensorineural hearing loss and less likely to positively respond to prednisone treatment. Treatments for OSA may involve a device that uses positive pressure to keep your airway open while you sleep (CPAP), a mouthpiece to move our lower jaw forward, or in some cases, surgery. Consult your physician for your holistic, as well as your auditory health if you suspect you may have sleep apnea. Snoring has been measured at loudness levels up to 80 to 90 dB, so whether you’re the snorer or the person who sleeps next to a snorer for 8 hours a night, it’s a good idea to get your hearing tested!
