20 Nov 2019 --- Hearing loss is not just an inevitable part of the aging process, finds a longitudinal study conducted at Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston, US. Examining more than 3,000 women, the study found that changing lifestyle and dietary patterns may help reduce the risk of hearing loss. The researchers recommended adhering to a Mediterranean-style diet to include more direct sources of omega 3, protein and vitamins provided by higher consumption of fresh produce, legumes, whole grains and fish.
