Low High-density Lipoprotein Cholesterol Levels Linked To Hearing Loss In
Men - Doctor's Guide, 10/23/00 - "The two groups showed no difference in hearing when stratified based on
total cholesterol and total triglyceride levels. However, when men were
stratified based on their HDL cholesterol

were significantly better than those with low concentrations of this lipid
... The authors suggest that low serum concentration of HDL cholesterol is
associated with hearing loss."

Antioxidant-Enhancing Drug Partly Reduces Noise-Induced Hearing Loss -
Doctor's Guide, 9/12/97 - "the
researchers showed the stress of loud noises causes an increase in free
radicals in the inner ear, which can damage or kill sensory cells. To defend
themselves, sensory cells express a rush of
glutathione, an antioxidant that absorbs free radicals. R-PIA was found
to increase the activity of glutathione, thus providing enhanced protection
from free-radical damage."
