According to research: "Snoring sounds range from 50dB to 100dB. Snorers and their bed partners are more likely to be hard of hearing than non-snorers and their partners." [BritishSnoring] So yes, in a way, it can affect one's hearing. So if your BF's snoring is that loud, I really suggest you find a cure. You can go to a doctor that specializes in these areas to help you identify why he snores. There are many causes of snoring. Once you determine what's causing it, it'll be a lot easier to find the cure. You should also have him checked for sleep apnea. IMO, it's a worse problem than hearing loss. .-= Joan@Snoring Remedies´s last blog ..Snoring Remedies =-.

Loud snoring does not always mean sleep apnea. We are exposed to lot of noise in our day life, so don't worry too much about snoring sound. .-= Susan@snoring solutions´s last blog ..About snoring =-.

I would be MORE worried that your BF has a sleep disorder.

My daughters husband had the SAME problem, she had to sleep on the couch, He had a sleep study done, and found out he had sleep apnea. Now sleeps with a CPAP, and NO MORE SNORING!!!!

PURSUE a sleep study for your BF!!! Don’t let them tell him to just loose weight, that will not solve his immediate problem!

BTW, you won’t develope tinnitus from his snoring, but you could have some hearing damage certainly!!!

If he is that loud you need him tested for sleep apnea now not wait till he is so severe you can tell he stops breathing that much. Have him visit an ENT & ask. He could have a nasal obstruction or throat obstruction. I tell you from over 15 yrs experience to do this. You will tune out your hearing, be exhausted & moody then get ill! You will have problems from not hearing the alarm & missing work/school. It’s horrible. It is not healthy & we had dr.’s say oh just lose weight. Yes that helps no matter what but he needs checked. Sleep deprivation is horrid on both of you. If he is snoring that loudly then he is fighting too hard to pull the air in to breathe & he will get to the point where his blood pressure starts climbing too. You will both be happier & healthier if he just does the sleep study now.
My ex has sleep apnea. CPAP machine let me sleep nicely! One of my kids had the tonsils & adenoids so enlarged he couldn’t breathe. His were removed & the snoring stopped!Good luck to you.
