How to Improve Your Hearing Health Naturally

If you’ve noticed lately that your hearing is not what it used to be, you may be wondering if there is anything you can do short of, or in addition to, seeing a hearing specialist. The good news is that, yes, there are things you can do. In this post, the team at Harley Street AVM look at how to improve your hearing health naturally.

Natural Ways to Improve Your Hearing Health

If you are concerned you may be losing your hearing, incorporate these ideas into your routine.

Get Active

Staying active is one of the best things anyone can do to ensure good health. And that includes good hearing health. Exercise increases blood flow throughout the body, including in the ears.

Keep Your Ears Dry

Excessive moisture in the ears is a common cause of ear infections. Ear infections in turn can lead to hearing problems. Sometimes permanent hearing problems. After a shower or bath or after swimming in a pool or the ocean remember to allow the water inside to drain out. Avoid using cotton buds or any objects in your ears as this can introduce infection and impact wax. If your symptoms do not resolve, consult an ear specialist medical doctor.

Avoid Loud Noises

Many hearing problems can be traced directly to exposure to loud noises. If you want to slow your hearing loss or prevent hearing loss from occurring, make sure you never play music too loud, that you avoid unreasonably loud places and that you don’t linger around construction sites where pneumatic drills and other heavy machinery is in use.

Certain supplements may help

There are minerals and supplements that may possibly have a beneficial impact on hearing health including magnesium, zinc and folic acid.
