When we think about menopause, symptoms like hot flushes and mood changes often come to mind—but did you know hormonal changes can also affect your ears, nose and throat?
In this episode, we’re joined by Brisbane ENT surgeon Dr Emily Perry to explore the often-overlooked ways menopause can influence ENT health. From hearing changes and tinnitus to dry mouth, altered voice, and swallowing concerns, we unpack what happens as oestrogen levels change and what women can do to stay healthy through midlife and beyond.
We also discuss the important role of the thyroid, and how to protect your hearing.
Whether you’re approaching menopause, currently navigating it, or supporting someone who is, this episode shines a light on the symptoms that often fly under the radar. Join us for an insightful conversation filled with practical advice, myth-busting and expert guidance to help you breathe easier, hear better and feel empowered through every stage of midlife.
