Arthritis linked to high risk of hearing loss warns study
A January 2016 Open Rheumatology Journal article notes sensorineural hearing loss affects 25 percent to 72 percent of rheumatoid arthritis patients. Elderly, long disease duration, active disease, seropositivity, nodules, and high inflammatory markers raise risk. smoking, alcohol, and noise exposure also contribute. Regular audiometry and emissions testing are recommended. treatment may include steroids, DMARDs, antioxidants, and lifestyle changes. Hearing aids or implants may help.
