Preventing noise-induced hearing loss, tinnitus in soldiers - Science
Daily, 9/6/12 - "Antioxidants, dietary supplements
and high-tech brain imaging are among some of the novel strategies that may
help detect, treat and even prevent noise-induced hearing loss and tinnitus
among American troops ... Noise-induced hearing loss doesn't just impact a
person's ability to hear; it can cause balance issues, make it difficult to
sleep and communicate, and even raise the risk for heart disease by
increasing a person's blood pressure, lipids and blood sugar ... Dr. Seidman
will discuss the use of nutraceuticals, such as acetyl-l-carnitine, alpha
lipoic acid and resveratrol ... a nutraceutical with a resveratrol-based
component may possibly hold the potential to not only prevent, but reverse
hearing loss in certain circumstances for soldiers. This research is based
on animal models, but will soon be tested with humans" - See
resveratrol products at iHerb.
