Most lasting hearing damage is preventable. These habits matter more than any supplement.
Prolonged exposure to sounds around 85 decibels or louder can damage hearing. Use the 60/60 rule for headphones: no more than 60% volume for up to 60 minutes at a time.
Use earplugs or earmuffs around power tools, concerts, motorsports and loud workplaces.
Swabs can push wax deeper or injure the ear canal. Ask a clinician about wax buildup.
Some medicines can affect hearing. Ask your pharmacist or doctor, and never stop a prescription on your own.
Sudden hearing loss in one or both ears, new ringing, ear pain, drainage or dizziness warrant prompt medical evaluation. Sudden hearing loss can be an emergency.
If you try a product like Tinizen, treat it as a small add-on, check for interactions and mind the caffeine.
