As if heart failure isn't enough, according to research, there is a link between how much, and the duration somebody smokes for, and their chances of suffering deafness.
The cross-European study which focussed on a total of 4,083 men and women (aged between 53 and 67) also discovered a link between people with a higher BMI and those more susceptible to suffering hearing loss.
Pardon?

I knew that drinking causes some temporarily and long term deafness, but smoking? That is all surprise and news for me! Some of my Friends lost their long range hearing capacity by staying near of these Rock and Roll concert speakers when they were a teen. Many musicians also suffers from hearing loss.
Thanks for the post Matt! Forget about the ratings! I well know a lots of people doesn't like to read and recognize that! -
