Hearing loss is something that most people perceive to be inevitable with aging. If you’re not careful it is possible, however, you can combat hearing loss with these natural ingredients!
Your ears go through a lot over the period of your lifetime. It is important to take care of them because like your teeth, we only get the ones we have. If you permanently lose your hearing – well, that’s it. You can’t regain it. However, eating these natural ingredients will naturally boost your hearing!
- Omega 3’s – High levels of Omega 3 fats can really increase the health of your eardrums. Studies have shown that adults who ate fish twice a week had a 42% lower chance of facing age-related hearing loss than non-fish eaters.
- Avocados – Avocados are great for preventing hearing loss because they are packed full of folic acid. Folic acid is great for the ears. Several recent studies have linked low folic acid levels with increased hearing loss.
Another great natural ingredient for hearing loss is Zinc. New research shows zinc supplementation may enhance the hearing recovery in cases of idiopathic sudden sensorineural hearing loss, also known as SSNHL. Patients with SSNHL who received zinc supplements along with corticosteroids had a significantly larger hearing gain, an increased percentage of recovery, and an increased rate of successful recovery compared with the control group, which received steroids only.
