Magnesium, Vitamins For Hearing Loss
Thursday, October 1st, 2009It seems like magnesium supplements are being celebrated as the solution for just about everything these days. But we hadn’t heard about this fascinating study, the first NIH-funded clinical trial involving the prevention of noise-induced hearing loss.
“Hearing loss commonly occurs, Green says, when loud noises trigger the formation of molecules inside the ear and these molecules cause damage to the hair cells of the inner ear. The cells then shut down and scar, and they cannot grow back.
The U-M researchers discovered that this new combination of vitamins, when mixed with magnesium, can prevent noise-induced damage to the ears by blocking some of these complex cellular reactions.”
Researchers test whether cocktail of vitamins and magnesium help prevent hearing loss.
