Low high-density lipoprotein cholesterol is linked to hearing loss in men. This suggests potential roles for arteriopathy in auditory dysfunction, highlighting the importance of lipid management for hearing health.

Area of Science:

  • Audiology
  • Cardiovascular Medicine
  • Metabolic Health

Background:

  • Serum lipid profiles are crucial indicators of cardiovascular health.
  • Auditory function can be influenced by systemic physiological factors.
  • Understanding the relationship between metabolic markers and hearing is essential for preventative care.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the association between serum lipid concentrations and auditory function.
  • To determine if total cholesterol, triglyceride, or high-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels impact hearing.
  • To explore potential sex-based differences in these relationships.

Main Methods:

  • The study included 924 participants (607 men, 317 women) aged 40-59.
  • Participants with normal hearing or specific types of sensorineural hearing loss were selected.

  • Serum lipid levels (total cholesterol, triglyceride, HDL cholesterol) were correlated with hearing thresholds.
  • Subjects were categorized into high-level and low-level lipid groups based on standard deviations from the mean.

    • Main Results:

    • No significant association was found between total cholesterol or triglyceride levels and hearing in either sex.
    • Men with higher high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol levels demonstrated significantly better hearing at 2,000 Hz and 4,000 Hz.
    • No significant association was observed for women regarding HDL cholesterol and hearing levels.

    Conclusions:

    • Low high-density lipoprotein cholesterol concentration is associated with impaired auditory function, particularly in men.
    • Arteriopathy, a condition affecting blood vessels, may contribute to auditory dysfunction.
    • These findings suggest a link between lipid metabolism and hearing health, warranting further investigation.
