According to a 2019 study<\/a> published in the journal Nutrients, <\/em>\u201cThe incidence of [hearing loss] was increased with the lack of single micro-nutrients such as vitamins A, B, C, D and E, and zinc, magnesium, selenium, iron and iodine. Higher carbohydrate, fat, and cholesterol intake, or lower protein intake, by individuals corresponded to poorer hearing status. However, higher consumption of polyunsaturated fatty acids corresponded to better hearing status of studied subjects.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
