Antioxidants may prevent hearing loss
by Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, NaturalNews Editor
Taking your antioxidants: researchers are experimenting with the idea that such nutritional supplements help protect against hearing loss. Of course, be sure to get your vitamins from natural sources like chlorella, spirulina and superfoods or whole foods.
NEW YORK - Scientists have been accumulating evidence in lab animals
for years that a pill might be able to reduce the damage loud noise does
to human hearing.
A group of 600 Marines at Camp Pendleton in California will face rifle
training with not only foam plugs in their ears but also a drink that
tastes much like Wild Berry Zinger herbal tea.
No pill is ever expected to replace earplugs and other mechanical ear
protection.
Noise-induced hearing loss is one of the most common occupational
injuries, the federal government says.
These days, much of the work focuses on antioxidants, the chemical
class that includes vitamins C and E.
That's because loud noise provokes the inner ear to produce harmful
oxygen molecules called free radicals.
