A new study revealed that obesity can increase the risk of hearing loss.
Interestingly, engaging in regular physical activity protects against the
hearing defect.

Possessing a high BMI or large waist circumference was found directly
linked to hearing loss.
.
Women who are extremely obese, i.e. with a BMI above 40 or between 30 and
34 had greater risk (25 percent and 17 percent respectively) of suffering
from hearing loss, compared to women with a healthy weight (BMI below 25).

Another major finding was the power of physical activity, mainly walking
in reducing the risk. Higher levels of physical activity was found to have
lowered the risk by 17 percent, while walking for at least two hours a
week helped lower the risk of hearing loss by 15 percent.

The study has been reported in the online issue of The American Journal of
Medicine.
