.Cadmium and Lead Linked to Hearing Loss in Adults

Loud noise can harm hearing but two common metals — lead and cadmium — may have a similar effect, according to a study published in Environmental Health Perspectives. The study is unique because it links hearing loss and low-level exposures to lead and cadmium in a large sample of men and women in the United States. It is also the first to report cadmium’s effects on hearing in adults.
