Abstract

HEARING DISORDERS: RATIONALE FOR USING A MICRONUTRIENT MIXTURE, PROBIOTICS, OMEGA 3 FATTY ACIDS, AND COLLAGEN PEPTIDES TO PREVENT AND IMPROVE THEIR TREATMENT

Kedar N. Prasad*

ABSTRACT

Hearing disorders are a complex disease of the ear in which partial or full loss of hearing may occur. In 2023, approximately 60.7 million Americans of age 12 and older were suffering from a mild hearing loss. The prevalence of hearing loss is increasing in USA, and it is expected to rise to 73.5 million by the year 2060. There are different types of hearing disorder which include conductive hear loss, sensorineural hearing loss, tinnitus, Meniere’s disease, and congenital hearing loss. The individuals with hearing loss have a poor quality of life such as lack of social interaction, communication problem, mental health issue, and difficulty in personal relationship. Despite rise of incidence of hearing disorders, and poor quality of life of individuals suffering from hearing loss, no effective preventive plan has been developed. Recommendation of changes in diet, lifestyle and exposure to environmental toxins, and use of earplug, the incidence of hearing loss has not declined. At present, only hearing aids, cochlear transplant, and steroids and anti-glutamate medications are available for the treatment of hearing disorders. None of the available preventive or treatment devices and medications addresses the causes of hearing loss. Decades of research have identified external factors such as noise, advancing age, ototoxic agents, and Menieres disease, which increase internal stressors such as oxidative stress and chronic inflammation. There are other internal stressors such as intestinal dysbiosis, and loss of collagen and omega3 which initiate and promote hearing disorders. This review proposes that daily supplementation of a mixture of micronutrients, probiotics with prebiotics, collagen peptides, and omega 3 may prevent and improve the current treatment of hearing disorders.
