Are you experiencing persistent ringing in your ears or struggling to understand conversations?


You might be surprised to learn that your thyroid could be the culprit! Join us for a deep dive into the often-overlooked connection between thyroid conditions and your hearing health.


In this insightful episode, we uncover why hearing loss and tinnitus are more common than you think for those with hypothyroidism and Hashimoto's. You'll hear from leading experts as they share their invaluable knowledge and practical advice.


What you'll discover in this episode:

  • The Surprising Link: Both hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism are tied to a higher risk of Sudden Sensorineural Hearing Loss (SSNHL). 

  • Types of Hearing Loss: Explore the differences between sensorineural, conductive, and mixed hearing loss—and why some are more common in thyroid patients. 

  • Common Symptoms: From tinnitus (ringing, buzzing, hissing) to trouble hearing in noisy settings or understanding high-pitched voices—know the signs.

  • Autoimmune Ties: Hashimoto’s increases the risk of autoimmune ear disorders like AIED and Meniere’s disease, which cause tinnitus, vertigo, and hearing loss.

  • Getting Evaluated: What to expect during hearing tests

  • Practical Tips: What's the story on earwax?!! And how about Q-Tips? 

This episode is a must-listen for anyone living with a thyroid condition, experiencing hearing issues, or simply curious about the intricate connections in our bodies. Don't let hearing problems go unaddressed! Tune in to understand the link and empower yourself with the knowledge to seek timely diagnosis and intervention!
