So You Have PCOS…Do You Need to Worry About Your Hearing?

As you face the daily challenges that Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) throws at you, it is only natural for you to feel as though your body is turning against you. No matter what your unique combination of symptoms, you are probably feeling as though each day presents a new obstacle, oftentimes more difficult than the last. But do you also have to worry about losing your senses? The basic functions that you rely upon to live life in today’s world? Rumor has it that women with PCOS are at a greater risk of developing hearing loss. Though you may experience a plethora of other difficult to cope with symptoms, the truth is that PCOS and hearing loss are only tenuously connected.  

Recent Studies Show…                                                                                                                                                                      

A study conducted in 2011 by F. Oghan and H. Coksuer questioned the effect of hyperandrogenism, which is the catalyst of PCOS, on hearing loss. The study tested the hearing of 26 women with PCOS and 25 women without the condition between the ages of 20 and 35 years old. The results? No differences were discovered between these two groups when testing average frequencies, but the participants with PCOS did show hearing loss in high frequencies.

What does this mean to you, as a woman with PCOS? Well, it indicates that this condition can be a contributing factor to hearing loss; however, the research pertaining to this link between PCOS and hearing loss is still relatively new and inconclusive. Are there other possible contributing factors that should be explored before you worry too much about your hearing? Definitely.

The Natural Progression of Things

Unfortunately, hearing loss is a natural part of getting older, and the women included in the aforementioned study were old enough to have listened to plenty of loud music in their day. As women age, especially when they get a bit older and start to experience menopause, their hormone levels naturally change. In women with PCOS, this can exacerbate their condition and make their symptoms more severe. Hearing loss is also another natural effect of the aging process, and though the two may occur simultaneously, there is not yet enough information to pinpoint a correlation between them.

The best advice for women with PCOS, and anyone, really, is to closely monitor your health as a whole. Yearly checkups to keep track of hearing loss and other potential issues will allow you to catch and treat them before they become a real problem.

The other thing a women suffering Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) might do is to look into the Insulite Health PCOS 5-Element System that is available. In particular, the PCOS System offers hormone-balancing effects that have been scientifically calibrated to reverse the condition. That means there is hope for women who properly educate themselves and take the precautions necessary to thwart the effects of the disorder, and no reason why PCOS has to be interpreted as a hearing loss diagnosis.
