Hey now,
I thought some on the list may be interested in this. This is *not* an
advertisement for Vitacost, I have no affiliation with them other than
buying vitamins online. I just get these newsletters and I could not figure
out how to provide a link, so I just forwarded the news letter. Hope that's
OK

*A Pill to Prevent Hearing Loss?*
*Early research in animals suggests it might be possible*
(HealthDay News) -- Vitamin supplements appear to prevent noise-induced
hearing loss in lab animals, a new study shows.
According to researchers, the finding suggests that it may be possible to
create a pill that protects against noise-induced and even age-related
hearing loss in humans.
Two studies found that giving supplements containing antioxidants [beta
carotene and vitamins C and E] and the mineral magnesium to test animals
before they were exposed to a loud noise prevented both temporary and
permanent hearing loss.
In the first study, vitamin supplements protected guinea pigs exposed to
four hours of 110-decibel noise, similar to levels reached at a rock
concert. In the second study, vitamin supplements prevented hearing loss in
mice exposed to a single loud noise.
The findings were to be presented Wednesday at the Association for Research
in Otolaryngology annual meeting. Previous research showed that antioxidants
can also protect hearing days after exposure to loud noise.
"What is appealing about this vitamin 'cocktail' is that previous studies in
humans, including those demonstrating successful use of these supplements in
protecting eye health, have shown that supplements of these particular
vitamins are safe for long-term use," University of Florida researcher
Colleen Le Prell, senior author of the studies, said in a news release.
About 26 million Americans have noise-induced hearing loss, according to the
U.S. National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders, which
funded the two studies. Temporary noise-induced hearing loss typically goes
away after a few hours or days as cells in the inner ear heal. But repeated
noise-induced temporary hearing loss can lead to permanent hearing loss. Le
Prell and colleagues believe that prevention of temporary hearing loss may
help prevent permanent hearing loss.
Le Prell and colleagues are currently studying the use of vitamin
supplements in college students who wear MP3 music players and in
noise-exposed military troops and factor workers in Spain and Sweden.
"Ear protection, such as ear plugs, is always the best practice for the
prevention of noise-induced hearing loss, but in those populations who don't
or can't wear hearing protection, for people in which mechanical devices
just aren't enough, and for people who may experience unexpected noise
insult, these supplements could provide an opportunity for additional
protection," Le Prell said.
