How To Prevent Hearing Loss

Age Related Hearing Loss


Interesting facts here and even though this is a study it is worth considering the ideas suggested.


  • Nutritional imbalances are increasingly thought to be a causative factor in hearing loss. Nutrients found to be beneficial for protecting and improving hearing are astaxanthin, vitamin A, folate, zinc and magnesium
  • Tinnitus, characterized by a chronic or near-chronic ringing in the ears, may be improved by folate (vitamin B9). Astaxanthin may also raise your chances of recovery from noise-induced hearing loss
  • Idiopathic sudden sensorineural hearing loss (SSNHL) — the cause of which is unknown — can be improved or reversed by zinc or intravenous magnesium

Hidden Hearing Loss

This study shows that noise is in many casess responsible for hearing loss.  Doctors have long been worried about the effect of loud music that teenagers subject themselves to and have confirmed that this is one of the causes of hearing loss.  But not only that, in general we are subjected to loud noises in Shopping Malls, at work, in Stadiums watching Sport, so it is not surprising at all.
