1. I have headphones in right now and I know I must be in trouble…

2. I love this channel!

3. The thing is everyhere you go in the US, they play music on speakers even in public bathroom !!

4. Some musicians and concert goers use special earplugs like these:

5. I have something playing at all times even when i sleep but i try to keep the volume low. I wonder how much this will affect my earing compared to power tool use like a grinder wich can be very loud for long periods of time.

6. This is very old knowledge but try training as much as I and many others like me without music.
   We don't need to know how to prevent it but how to treat it. Awesome of Greger to provide a little insight there!! 🙏💪

   I took Ritalin ti study for an exam once and have had Tinitus ever since then. Do I regret it? No. It was worth the trade-off.

   Diet is not a reason for me. I have been a poster child for healthy vegans for almost 4 decades since the age of 10 incl. pro athletic career.

7. excellence

8. I hear you , Dr.

9. 👍👍

10. +1 to the benefits of sourghum: preserves hearing and normalizes blood pressure, if sourghum comprises 80% of your diet.

11. Leaving me on another cliffhanger!!! Lol.

12. Apart from Dr. G said here, I believe that many people have dirty ears, which hampers their hearing ability. There is a procedure, involving heat, such as burning a special candle or other type of wax. I haven't tried that, only heard good things. But I have tried a procedure, prescribed commonly before, involving 3% hydrogen peroxide (5 drops) and water (50ml). Pouring this mixture into your ear with a small syringe (needle removed, of course), tilting your head, and letting it sizzle for a minute, then pouring it out, seemed to help me quite a bit.

13. i hope its reversible! that'd be good news but also i bet 99% of people wouldn't believe you or take the advice and just keep being deaf

14. AND……we end w/ "CLIFFHANGAR . 😮‍💨…(join us in next episode when DrG reveals THE supplement….. that slows age related hearing loss)…..

15. I always put the volume way down before I start a Nutrionfacts video so I don't get hearing damage from the overloud intro jingle. Then I raise the volume when the talking starts. Also put the volume down before the loud outro if I can remember. It is a habit after 10 or more years of putting up with this.

16. Thank you for discussing this topic. My parents both have some hearing loss, and at the age of 40 I have some tinnitus in my right ear (probably due to loud music exposure). I really don't want to follow in their footsteps.

17. I always carry a pair of audio attenuators when attending a concert or church. You never know when an amateur will be left in charge of the audio equipment. It doesn't take a long exposure to certain wave lengths at high volume for my ears to be ringing for days.

18. All those rock concerts I went to……..

19. Actually cancer is now the #1 killer in the developed world, not CVD.

20. They don't EAT processed foods ether. So you can't say it is the animal protein. It being the processed food is more likely the cause.

21. How exciting. I can't wait for part 2 of the supplement research! ❤ This is awesome. Thanks!

22. …… WHAT?????

23. Oxalates in food cause degenerative hearing loss and tinnitus. Oxalates are also the cause of degenerative eyesight and torn retina's, reduce your plant foods and improve your health. Have a read of Sally k Norton's book "Toxic Superfoods".

24. Maaban means “big ear” tribe.

25. This is very timely Doctor, as I have just been diagnosed with hearing loss, after two totally separate tests at different clinics. I turned 65 this year and am finding it hard to accept. I was also told not to wait too long before using hearing aids as the longer one continues with the loss, it becomes greater in other areas too, like the brain. I don't know much and have no medical background, so I am trying to learn more.

    i am a former smoker and way back in the day of factory work I listened to music using headphones to drown out the machinery noise that was present for 8 hours a day. That can't have been good.

26. Eh sonny? ::Holds up ear trumpet:: come again young feller? You say eat the foods that fix all my other health problems and I can hear?!?!?

27. Before you do anything check for ear wax.

28. Eh?

29. can someone from nutritionfacts please answer this because I can not find it anywhere… I want to eat the daily dozen but I am new to this. Can I eat 1 1/2 cup of rolled oats (I measure the 1 and a half cups when the oats are still dry) but can I eat this amount everyday or is that to much oats .. kind regards from Joyce (from The Netherlands ps love all the books can not wait for how not to age… preorderd ) 🙂

30. I wear headphones constantly it's likely not a good idea. But I don't want to give up the convenient and private listening of music, podcasts, audio books, and videos.

31. Like always, excellent delivery of science based information. I have a topic suggestion. Eye sight degeneration with age. Is my need for glasses around age 7 caused by diet?

    Our pediatrician suggested we research prepubescent nutrition needs or seek a local nutrition. Because Im a visual learner and learn best by video, does the Nutrition Facts group know of You Tube channel that documents child nutrition as well as you deliver information?

32. Most important thing is to use EAR PLUGS even when you're young. A DJ destroyed one of my ear with a high frequency constant sound for 5-6 secs (he was mad, intentionally damaging our ears), now I have a tinnitus for life. Dont do the same mistake

33. I have irreversible tinnitus, it's so loud it actually affects my hearing and sleep..😞

34. Audiologist here – hearing loss is common as we age, but it is never ‘normal’. The healthier you are in general, (blood pressure, circulation, diet, etc) the better your hearing tends to be. Regular NSAID use particularly affects women’s hearing over time. Those with diabetes are 30% more likely to have hearing loss. I doubt the animal studies for sounds over 60dB contributing, as conversational speech is typically recorded at 55-60dB. 70dB is loud speech. 80dB is a shout.

35. What????

36. Is it just my imagination, or did you record this with lower sound quality? cos i had great difficulty hearing and understanding until i turned the volume up, you sounded garbled unlike the videos i was listening to prior.
    On hearing loss, I would think wax build up due to diet would be a contributing factor also wouldn't it. i know when i op my ears i can hear a lot better, unfortunately it doesn't last long though. So if i can hear better after i pop them, which punches a hole in the wax, then its not follicle related, its wax related.

37. i always use hearing protection for loud tasks like a table saw or running a high powered vacuum. i do use headphones but the volume is always low.

38. "It's the food!"

39. Awesome video!!! Thanks for sharing Dr. Greger.

40. I developed severe sensorineural low frequency hearing loss in my left ear OVERNIGHT at age 32. I was a WFPB vegan following a starch-based diet at the time. My total cholesterol was around 110. Sometimes random things happen, and even the best lifestyle can't save you from it.

41. It's been about a year since the doctor mentioned how a vegan diet can regrow hair and prevent male pattern baldness but obviously the evidence on his head proves it false

42. Michael, I trust you may also speak to the aspect of modern sounds that cause the noise aspect of hearing loss. 30 years ago, I manufactured a brand {Waveform} of high-performance loudspeakers that were designed at Ottawa's NRC in the Physics lab, in conjunction with their anechoic chambre. We were told by the department head, a Dr, Floyd E. Toole who later became VP of Engineering for Harmon Kardon, that the definition of noise was “unwanted sound”.

    In the kitchen, noise can be blenders even food processors. In the bathroom, hair driers. Outside, leaf blowers, lawnmowers, weed eaters and chainsaws. The first sign of hearing loss is tinnitus. In a woodworking shop, such as where I laboured for three+ decades, the worst offender is the laminate trimmer, since they scream @ 32,000 RPM! It's the high frequencies that begin to plague we older folks. {I clock in @ three score and fifteen}

    I also drove cars back in the day, that did not have AC. What we did was roll down the window au naturellement. That passing air over the eardrum on sustained drives, eventually takes a toll. Even wearing insertable ear plugs + a headset {Peltor -31dB} makes we humans prone to hearing loss, since sound enters through the bones of our forehead, not only through the ear canal.

    Many, many thanks for all the help you have given us these past 12 years. I'd not have escaped my PC diagnosis and the subsequent EBRT without you. Blessings!

43. its psychosomatic, there is too much one can hear that has an effect on ones emotional state. as we grow older our bodies lose the capacity to handle stress. so maybe its psychosomatic.

44. Probably folate, or omega-3.

45. Thanks Dr. G!!!

46. So fascinating! Thank you so much <3

47. Really interesting, thank you Dr Greger for keeping us young and healthy! I wish I had become whole food plant-based earlier in life, I am 57 and switched over 3 years ago, best decision of my life, healed me physically and mentally and I am slim and look good in clothes for the first time in my life!

48. ❤ I was able to cure my chronic body odor and hyperhydrosis problem naturally when I came across DR.UWENBOHERBALHOME. and used his effective herbal supplements, remedies and natural diet protocol on Youtube.. DR.UWENBOHERBALHOME is the real deal.. hence I recommend everyone there 🎉🎉🎉

49. I have really bad tinnitus while still young but i’ve never been exposed to loud noises. I think it might have to do with my blood-vessels but doctors could never help me…
