A healthy lifestyle supports more than just your heart, muscles, and energy levels. It also plays an important role in your hearing health. The choices you make every day can help protect your hearing and support how your ears function over time.
Nourish your body with balanced, anti-inflammatory foods. Eating plenty of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, healthy fats, and lean proteins helps reduce inflammation and supports healthy blood flow, both of which are important to the delicate bones, hairs, and nerves in your inner ear.
Make sure you’re getting key nutrients. Magnesium, potassium, vitamins C and E, zinc, folate, and vitamin D all contribute to nerve function and circulation. When these nutrients are lacking, your inner ear may not get the support it needs to function at its best.
Stay as active as your body allows. Regular movement and exercise help improve circulation and heart health, which directly supports blood flow to your ears and helps maintain healthy hearing.
Drink enough water throughout the day. Proper hydration helps maintain fluid balance in your inner ear, which plays a huge role in hearing and balance.
Be mindful of your medications. Some prescription and over-the-counter medications can have hearing-related side effects, so it’s important to talk to your doctor, or us, if you notice changes in your hearing or balance.
