Vitamins A, C and E
Noise-induced acoustic trauma is closely associated with free radical formation and reduced cochlear blood flow 7-10 days after noise exposure.
Animal trials have found that NIHL was preventable when the anti-oxidants Vitamin A, C and E were used with magnesium 1 hour before damaging noise exposure. Interestingly, vitamins or magnesium alone were not able to prevent NIHL or sensory cell death, but together they had a combined synergistic effect. These are encouraging results and it would be interesting to see how they translate to human NIHL trials [[i]].
