Another One for Antioxidants
Here is a new plug for antioxidants: they may help with noise-induced hearing loss! At least they did in one animal study reported by Reuters Health. Researchers theorize that “the pre-exposure treatment may have helped by suppressing the development of cell-damaging substances called free radicals. The post-noise doses, in turn, may have lessened harm to the auditory nerves.” The nutrients used in the study were vitamins A, C and E, plus magnesium.
