Can You Restore Your Hearing by Taking Nutrients?

Most doctors don’t think nutrition has anything to do with hearing loss. But several new studies show just how important nutrition is to your ears — and how some people are actually reversing their hearing loss.

Dear Health-Conscious Friend,

Imagine if there was a way to improve your hearing so you could hear as well as you did decades ago.

Imagine if it didn’t involve surgery or a hearing aid.  Or having to make a single visit to the doctor.

And imagine if all you had to do was take a natural remedy that costs just pennies a day.

Yes, I know it sounds unbelievable…but it’s true. Best of all, this natural remedy can relieve the hearing problems you suffer with right now — and make a huge difference in how you hear for decades to come.

It also means that you don’t have to suffer the embarrassment of wearing a hearing aid…or become frustrated when listening to a conversation you can barely hear.

So what causes hearing loss in the first place?

Your inner ear contains over 15,000 tiny hair cells.  Over time these sensory hair cells become damaged.  This usually happens after decades of being exposed to loud noise.

For example, a bulldozer that’s just idling is loud enough to cause permanent hearing loss after only one work day.

A subway train screeching into a station … a loud clap of thunder … and the blast of a lawn mower can damage hearing within just a few hours of exposure.

Noise from a blow dryer, kitchen blender or air conditioning unit can cause substantial hearing loss, too.

And those rock & roll bands you saw when you were a teen directly affect your hearing today.

But that’s not all. Ear infections, circulation problems, high blood pressure, medication and injuries can affect your hearing, too — and often without warning.

That’s the bad news.  Now here’s the good news:

You no longer have to suffer in silence!

Several exciting studies show that, in many cases, certain nutrients can not only repair hearing loss…but even reverse it!

Until recently, the idea of treating hearing loss with nutrients was simply a pipe dream. Scientists didn’t think it was possible. Most doctors don’t think nutrition has anything to do with hearing loss.

But many studies show just how important nutrition is to your ears — and how certain nutrients can actually relieve ear and hearing problems … and even improve your hearing as you age!

Together, these compounds restore damaged hair cells, increase circulation to your ears, silence ringing and buzzing, improve auditory nerve function, and even repair noise-induced hearing loss.

Can You Restore Your Hearing by Taking Nutrients?

 

Let me tell you about the first hearing-enhancer now. It is one of the best nutrients for improving hearing loss caused by exposure to loud noises… like years of working in a factory, or listening to blaring music.

How well does it work? Just ask the U.S. Marines!

The Military’s New Weapon
Against Hearing Loss

Did you know that over 10% of military personnel suffer noise-induced hearing loss—despite using hearing protection?

Hearing loss is an occupational hazard in the military—and it’s hard to avoid.  Submarines and aircraft carriers are filled with noise. Explosions and jet engines are so jarring, that wearing earplugs is not enough to protect against hearing problems.

And when it comes to the military, these hearing problems can be deadly. Soldiers with hearing loss are twice as likely to miss a target and 25 percent more likely to be killed. For forces who rely on acute hearing to succeed in their missions, any degree of hearing loss could mean a career cut short – or forced retirement.

However, an exciting new study uncovered something that could be the military’s best weapon against noise-induced hearing problems!

Recently, a group of government scientists conducted a 6-month study on the benefits of a natural remedy for hearing loss.  And they tested it on the toughest group of all: 1,000 marines at Camp Pendleton who were undergoing rifle training.

At the beginning of the study, the scientists gave 600 marines an amino acid called N-acetyl cysteine.  The other 400 were given a placebo. The marines took hearing tests before and after the rifle training. The result?

“70% Experienced Less Hearing Loss…”

That’s right! The scientists were shocked to find that 70% of the marines taking N-acetyl had less hearing loss!

The researchers also examined the sensory hair cells of those marines and found less hair damage and less ringing in the ears, too.

So why does N-acetyl cysteine work so well for hearing loss?

First, n-acetyl cysteine helps repair the ear damage caused by loud noises.  Second, N-acetyl cysteine boosts the body’s production of an important antioxidant called glutathione. Studies show that people with hearing problems tend to have low glutathione.  And N-acetyl boosts glutathione levels.

So you can see why N-acetyl cysteine is #1 on my list of nutrients for healthy hearing. If you’re one of the millions who have been exposed to decades of loud noises, I recommend you start taking N-acetyl cysteine right now.

But N-acetyl cysteine is not the only nutrient I recommend. If you have trouble hearing highs and lows—one of the biggest age-related hearing problems — then let me tell you about …

The Dynamic Duo that Repairs Damaged Inner Ear Cells
and Improves Your Range Of Hearing

It’s a combination of two remarkable nutrients, Alpha Lipoic Acid andAcetyl-L-Carnitine.

Alpha lipoic acid is an antioxidant that’s made in the body, and is found in every cell. But here’s what makes it so unique:

While other antioxidants work only in water (such as vitamin C) or in fatty tissues (like Vitamin E), Alpha lipoic acid is both fat and water soluble. So it can protect every muscle, organ and tissue in the body. What’s more, it can easily penetrate the blood/brain barrier, so it targets free radical damage in your brain, ears, and nervous system.

Alpha lipoic acid also has the ability to recycle other antioxidants back to their active states, so they can continue to neutralize free radicals in and around the ears. And like N-acetyl cysteine, it increases glutathione levels, too.

Meanwhile, Acetyl-l-carnitine is an amino acid that increases energy production in the mitochondria, the “power plants” of your cells. Think of your mitochondria as the furnace that fires up cell energy. As you age, your body produces less and less Acetyl-l-carnitine— plus, its levels are further depleted by high-fat diets, certain medications and vitamin deficiencies.

When mitochondria don’t get the fuel they need, it’s like a car running on empty. When this mitochondrial falloff affects your ears, hearing loss sets in.

So why are Alpha lipoic acid and Acetyl-l-carnitine such a great combination for hearing range and frequency?

In a placebo controlled study, scientists gave these two nutrients to aging rats for six weeks. The researchers divided the subjects into three groups.  Group 1 received alpha lipoic acid.  Group 2 received Acetyl-l-carnitine.  Meanwhile, the control group, Group 3, didn’t receive any supplements.

At the end of the study period, the rats that didn’t take any supplements saw a normal deterioration in their hearing.

But the rats taking the alpha lipoic acid or Acetyl-l-carnitine not only avoided hearing loss but their hearing actually improved. In other words, this dynamic duo didn’t just stop age-related hearing loss. It reversed it!

Scientists discovered that Alpha lipoic acid was more effective for protecting hearing at low frequencies, while the  Acetyl-l-carnitine worked better for higher frequencies. Together, alpha lipoic acid and Acetyl-l-carnitine are a terrific team for improving the range, volumeand sensitivity of your hearing.

The next nutrient I’d like to tell you about is an herb that’s popular for its memory-boosting benefits.  But brand-new studies show it has great potential for hearing, too!

Silence the ringing that’s driving you crazy!

Ringing or whistling in your ears is not only maddening — it also interferes with your day-to-day life. It affects your concentration, sleep, job performance, and even normal conversation.

And one of the best ways to quiet the noise is with gingko biloba.

Ginkgo is loaded with compounds called flavones and ginkgolides — antioxidants that help protect your inner ear hair cells and auditory canal.  Ginkgo is also a natural vasodilator — which means that it helps open up the tiny blood vessels and capillaries in and around your ears. The result? Less ringing…and clear hearing!

In one study, 72 people with hearing problems were given either ginkgo or a popular conventional remedy. Guess which worked better?Scientists were surprised to discover that the ginkgo group experienced less ringing in the ears as well as an overall improvement in their hearing.

In another study, 103 patients who suffered with ringing in the ears as well as other hearing problems were given either ginkgo biloba or a placebo. At the end of 13 months, every single person in the ginkgo group reported an improvement in their hearing.  That’s a 100% success rate!

Meanwhile, ginkgo is also shown to significantly improve the recovery of patients with sudden hearing loss. Give your ears the blood, nutrients and oxygen they need, and it’s only natural that your hearing improves, too. So if you are one of the millions who suffer with humming and buzzing in your ears — you can see why gingko should be the cornerstone of any ear-protection program!

But your hearing problems aren’t just due to all those loud noises you’ve put up with all these years. Another big hearing destroyer is free radical damage.

Believe it or not, free radicals actually punch holes in the membranes and cells of the inner ear, affecting auditory function. And this incredible bioflavonoid can repair the damage.

The “wonder nutrient” that targets hearing loss at its source

Like ginkgo, luteolin is a powerful antioxidant.  And like alpha lipoic acid, it’s one of the few antioxidants able to cross the blood brain barrier.

But luteolin is especially helpful for ear health because it can repair the free-radical damage that has harmed your auditory canal and hair cells.  This remarkable nutrient improves mitochondrial function, too.

Even more remarkable is that luteolin specifically protects the nerve cells in your ear from oxidative stress. So, it seems a “no-brainer” to me to consider this wonder nutrient to protect your hearing.

Armed with all this clinical evidence about these hearing-enhancers, I contacted the research team at Advanced Bionutritionals. Together, we developed a remarkable, science-based formula designed to support and restore the health of your hearing on multiple levels.

Announcing Advanced Hearing Formula: The Research Backed Supplement That Helps You Hear What You’ve Been Missing

The result is Advanced Hearing Formula — and I call it the easiest, most effective remedy to protect and improve your hearing — today and for decades to come.

Like any other organ, your ears need a steady flow of fuel, nutrients and energizers to support peak performance today, tomorrow and for a lifetime. Of course, Advanced Hearing Formula includes my top 5 recommended hearing boosters: N-acetyl cysteine, Alpha lipoic acid,  Acetyl-l-carnitine, gingko and luteolin.

And if it included just these 5 nutrients, it would be one of the best formulations on the market. But to give your ears the full range of nutritional power they need, we included 10 more hearing superstars!  They work perfectly together to help restore hearing loss, repair nerve damage, boost ear and hearing health, and much more.

Sudden hearing loss? Take these vitamins immediately!

One of the most tragic problems is hearing loss that occurs practically overnight, without warning. Doctors say this sudden hearing loss is caused by inflammation that affects the hair cells of the inner ear.  Other research says it’s caused by an autoimmune condition.  But the true cause remains unknown. And conventional medicine doesn’t have much to offer for treatment, except steroids.

But an exciting new study shows that these two simple vitamins can offer significant help!

Scientists conducted a placebo-controlled study involving 87 people with sudden hearing loss. Researchers gave the first group either a steroid or a vasodilating drug. The second group received the same steroid or drug, along with Vitamin E and Vitamin C. 

The result? A whopping 63% patients treated with the drugs and vitamins saw a significant gain in their hearing, compared to only 44% in the control group.

This is exciting news. Many people think their sudden hearing loss could be permanent. Meanwhile, taking these vitamins can make ahuge difference.

Next, if you suspect you already have hearing loss — or want to make sure you never do — then you need to know about these next hearing warriors.  They are two overlooked “B” vitamins that work like gangbusters for improving hearing health.

Pump Up the volume with these overlooked “B”s

The first is folate (vitamin B9), also known as folic acid. One 3-year study of over 700 older people showed that folic acid can help delay the onset of age-related hearing loss.   And a Boston-based research team showed high folate levels can decrease the risk of hearing loss as much as 20%!

The second is Vitamin B12. Studies show that people with hearing problems also tend to have very low levels of this important energy vitamin.  And B12 deficiency was associated with ringing of the ears and neural problems.
