Passive Smoking and Hearing Loss: Are Links Building Between the Two?

Passive smoking has proved itself to be a major negative health issue
that affects millions of people worldwide and now further research is linking smoking to hearing loss. Following a detailed analysis of statistics, specialist journal
Tobacco Control revealed in November 2010 that there was a strong
pattern emerging between smoking and poor hearing and in the July 2011 issue of
Archives of Otolaryngology – Head & Neck Surgery, it was revealed that exposure to
tobacco smoke nearly doubles the risk of hearing loss among
adolescents.
