I have both hearling loss and osteoarthritis, and wonder if the two are connected. My hearing loss is worsening and thusfar unexplained.
Well, I have osteoarthritis, and no hearing loss, so I would hazard that the answer is no. Why don't you do searches on both then do a little reading?
Osteoarthritis is loss of bone density. I can't imagine how that could lead to deafness. It's not like you're going to lose significant bone mass from those three tiny bones in your inner ear. I'd say that the only connection is that both are more likely to happen to people as they age, but there is no cause-and-effect relationship between them.
