According to a recent study done by Norwegian researchers (published by Fibromyalgia News Today), patients suffering from fibromyalgia are 4.5 times more likely to suffer from hearing loss. Fibromylagia, a musculoskeletal pain disorder that causes chronic pain, affects the central nervous system and may be associated with an overall dysregulation of the nerves.
Hearing loss appears to be more common for those afflicted with fibromyalgia, and other musculoskeletal disorders, for a long period of time. The loss is attributed to the damage to the inner ear auditory nerve pathways to the brain. The prevailing theory is that all fibromyalgia-related symptoms result from an alteration in the central neural processing of perceptive stimuli.
Fibromyalgia is frequently associated with feelings of “ear fullness,” earache, and tinnitus.
