\"ClarksvilleClarksville, TN<\/strong> – It\u2019s well known that healthy eating habits can promote better overall health within the body, as well as alleviate a number of diet-related illnesses and diseases.<\/p>\n

According to a new examination of the eating habits of 2,366 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey participants, those who eat more fruits and vegetables might also have better hearing \u2014 even if they\u2019re exposed to more noise.<\/p>\n

\"Eatting<\/a>

Eatting more fruits and vegetables may help you hear better.<\/p><\/div>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s very rare to reverse or heal hearing damage, but there are many correlations between a healthy diet and healthier overall hearing,\u201d says Dr. Emiko J. LeJeune, Au.D. of Clarksville Center for Audiology. \u201cDiets high in folic acid and leafy green vegetables, which offer a number of vitamins and minerals, certainly seem to have a positive effect on hearing health.\u201d<\/p>\n

The study, which was performed by University of Florida Health researchers, found that those who scored higher on the USDA\u2019s Healthy Eating Index but also had higher levels of noise exposure actually had hearing comparable to that of people with lower noise exposure but poorer diets. This suggests that a better diet may have protective effects on the delicate inner ear structures that, when damaged by loud noise, can suffer permanent hearing loss.<\/p>\n

\u201cHearing loss is usually permanent, so it\u2019s important to do things that protect the hearing you have,\u201d stated Dr. Aubrey Carr, Au.D. of Clarksville Center for Audiology. \u201cHearing loss can ultimately lead to a faster mental decline, so making positive dietary changes will probably be good for more than your hearing \u2014 it\u2019ll be good for your body and brain health as well.\u201d<\/p>\n

Those who suspect they have a hearing loss should contact their local hearing care provider for a comprehensive hearing exam, and ask about dietary changes that promote healthy hearing.<\/p>\n
