Taking Vitamins might help protect your ears

Good news for those who are exposed to high levels of noise.

Scientists from the University of Michigan’s Kresge Hearing Research Institute have found that magnesium, vitamins A, C and E may help protect the ears from noise induced hearing loss.

The research involved four groups of guinea pigs. Each group received different treatments once daily for six days, they included:

• Magnesium and vitamins A, C, and E
• Vitamins A, C, and E without magnesium
• Magnesium only
• Salt water (placebo)

The guinea pigs were then exposed to 120 decibels of noise for five consecutive hours. The group received the combination of Magnesium and vitamins A, C, and E had the least amount of noise induced hearing loss.

Magnesium aids the body’s absorption of calcium and also plays a role in the strength and formation of bones and teeth.

Vitamin A is known to help your eyes adjust to light changes when you come in from outside and also helps to keep your eyes, skin and mucous membranes moist.

Vitamin C and E are great antioxidants and protect your body from free radicals, which can cause heart disease, cancer and cellular damage. Vitamin E also helps to keep a healthy circulatory system and aids in proper blood clotting and wound healing.
