5. Hearing Issues
If you are experiencing hearing issues, it could be because of excess aspartame consumption. The Food and Drug Administration lists 90 different health disorders and diseases linked to aspartame. The hearing disorders related to aspartame include tinnitus (a severe ringing in the ears that doesn’t stop, even at night, and in quiet places), as well as sensitivity to loud noises. Hearing loss and disorder such as tinnitus, associated with aspartame consumption, could be a permanent condition.
Studies show that aspartame consumption affects the normal function of the cochlea and vestibular system, a series of there canals located behind the ears. The vestibular system processes sound and balances the body during movement. Aspartame disrupts the signals from the vestibular system to the brain, causing hearing loss and balance issues. There is good news for anyone living with the hearing disorders associated with excessive aspartame consumption. Most of the hearing disorders disappear after discontinuing the use of the artificial sweetener.
