Washington, Nov 11: A cocktail of vitamins and mineral magnesium has been found effective in preventing hearing loss caused by loud noises, a new study has shown.
After the combination of nutrients, called AuraQuell, was found to be successful in laboratory tests, researchers at the University of Michigan Kresge Hearing Research Institute are now testing if it would benefit humans as well.
"The prevention of noise induced hearing loss is key," said Glenn E. Green, M. D., assistant professor of otolaryngology at the U-M Health System and director of the U-M Children''s Hearing Laboratory.
