Ears

Managing ear and hearing changes during menopause may involve regular hearing check-ups, managing stress, staying hydrated, and using ear protection when necessary.

Menopause and perimenopause can impact ear health and hearing due to hormonal changes, particularly the decline in oestrogen and progesterone. These hormones play a role in maintaining the health of the auditory system, and their fluctuation can lead to symptoms affecting hearing and the function of the ears. As oestrogen decreases, it may affect blood flow to the inner ear, leading to changes in hearing sensitivity or balance. Additionally, other menopause-related symptoms such as stress and sleep disturbances can indirectly affect ear health.
