About this listen
Vitiligo is known for its impact on skin—but what if it also changes the way you hear the world?
In this episode, we explore the surprising link between vitiligo and high-frequency hearing loss, drawing on recent research and insights from the Vitiligo Research Foundation.
You’ll learn how melanocytes—cells that give skin its color—also play a key role in the inner ear, and how their loss may affect certain sound frequencies. While most people with vitiligo won’t notice a change in daily hearing, the science suggests a subtle shift worth paying attention to.
Tune in to discover how vitiligo may reach beyond the skin, and why a hearing check might be a sound idea.
