Hearing Fun Facts

Just a fun fact from Doctor of Audiology Beth Benites: Sometimes if you have damage to your ears, your perception of taste may be off because the nerves (called the Chorda Tympani) run through the ear and connect the taste buds on the front of your tongue to your brain.

Sometimes people who have had ear surgery experience a change in their sense of taste. It does not mean that hearing loss directly correlates to an inability to taste.
