Nutrient Combo May Prevent Hearing Loss

This article talks about taking the combinations of magnesium and vitamins A, C, and E together help prevent the ears from noise induced hearing loss. The researchers did their experiment on guinea pigs, in which they divided the guinea pigs into four groups. Each group got different treatment daily for six days, which include one group receiving magnesium and vitamin A, C, and E together; one receiving vitamins A, C, and E without magnesium; one with magnesium only; and one with salt water. After their first treatment, the guinea pigs were exposed to 120 decibels of noise for five hours. They were exposed to the noise only once and received their treatment for the next five days. As a result, the guinea pigs that took magnesium and vitamin A, C, and E had the least amount of noise-induced hearing loss and ear damage.
