Description
Kening Jiang and co-authors link hearing loss to fatigue in a 2023 survey study. Tiredness tracks with worse thinking, weaker bodies, and lower quality of life. Straining to hear may drain energy, but past studies drew mostly on clinic patients, who may feel that drain more than most.
The analysis covered 3,031 middle-aged and older adults in a national United States survey from 2015 to 2018. About one in four had hearing loss by a standard tone test. Those with hearing loss were about twice as likely to report feeling tired on most days, or nearly every day. The link held after many health and social factors were counted.
