Manganese<\/p>\n

Foods high in manganese can prevent the occurrence of tinnitus.
\nTinnitus is characterized by a ringing sound in the ears. Consumption
\nof manganese before a prolonged exposure to loud noises can help to
\ncounteract some of the free radicals that will form as a result to loud
\nnoises.<\/p>\n

Recommended Food Sources<\/p>\n

Brown rice, spinach, garbanzo beans, kale, apples, raisins, collard
\ngreens, turnip greens, chard, raspberries, strawberries, pineapples,
\ngarlic, grapes, eggplant, romaine lettuce, maple syrup, cinnamon,
\ncloves, thyme, black pepper and turmeric.<\/p>\n

Vitamin D<\/p>\n

Vitamin D deficiency is often associated with the following conditions:
\nOtosclerosis, bilateral cochlear deafness, sensorineural hearing loss
\nand prebycusis. Physicians advise a vitamin D supplement for people
\nsuffering from hearing loss. The absorption of vitamin D and calcium is
\noften inhibited if there is an absence of magnesium in the body.<\/p>\n

Vitamin D deficiencies will result in insufficient amount of calcium in
\ninner ear fluid. The small bones in the inner ear may become spongy.
\nSound transmission is diminished if this inner ear becomes spongy.
\nPhysicians recommend consuming vitamin D orally and sitting in the sun
\n10 to 20 minutes per day. Vitamin D can also help to prevent Type 2
\ndiabetes and bacterial infections which contribute to hearing loss.<\/p>\n

Recommended food sources rich in Vitamin D: Salmon, sardines, herring,
\negg yolk and cod liver oil.<\/p>\n

Vitamin A<\/p>\n

Vitamin A deficiency will increase a person\u2019s chances of developing
\nhearing loss if exposed to stressors such as loud noise. Vitamin A is
\nessential in the development of the inner ear or inner ear
\nmorphogenesis. Beta-carotene is the best form of vitamin A.<\/p>\n

Recommended Food Sources: Sweet potatoes, carrots, spinach, kale,
\ncollard greens, turnip greens, swiss chard, winter squash, mustard
\ngreens and romaine lettuce.<\/p>\n

Vitamin B<\/p>\n

The vitamin B complex maintains the nerves in the ears that are
\nessential to hearing. The supplement can reduce ear pressures and can
\nbe used to treat sudden hearing loss. Many have recovered with vitamin
\nB treatment and others have experienced profound improvement.<\/p>\n

Recommended Food Sources: Sardines, salmon, venison, lamb, beef,
\nshrimp, halibut, scallops, yogurt and milk.<\/p>\n

Vitamin C<\/p>\n

Vitamin C is an antioxidant that will protect against damage to
\ncochlear hair cells and will also help to prevent infections.<\/p>\n

Recommended Food Sources: Papaya, bell peppers, strawberries,
\nbroccoli, pineapple, Brussels sprouts, kiwi, oranges, cantaloupe and
\nkale.<\/p>\n

Vitamin E<\/p>\n

Circulation is improved with Vitamin E. This vitamin is a powerful
\nantioxidant that helps to prevent neurological and fat absorption
\ndisorders. Omega-3 essential fatty
\nacids are helpful for auditory brainstem responses. Hearing can
\nfluctuate in children according to their fat intake. An excess in
\nsaturated fats is not good in a diet.<\/p>\n

Recommended Food Sources: Sunflower seeds, almonds, spinach, Swiss
\nchard, turnip greens, papaya, mustard greens, collard greens, asparagus
\nand bell peppers.<\/p>\n

Listening to the tips mentioned above is just the first step in
\nprotecting your hearing. If you currently feel that you are losing your
\nhearing or you already suffer from severe hearing loss the step would
\nbe to make an appointment with your doctor. He or she can diagnosis the
\nsituation and provide you with the correct, safe alternative such as
