“…A greater number of studies demonstrated significant associations between dietary factors and hearing loss. A diet high in oily fish (10,12,13) , n-3 fatty acids (10,12) , vitamins and antioxidants (14,(16)(17)(18)24) and moderate alcohol consumption (19) has been associated with a reduced risk of hearing loss, which supports our finding that a healthier diet is associated with reduced risk of hearing loss. Conversely, a high cholesterol intake (21) and a high intake of foods with a high glycaemic load (22) have been associated with an increased risk of hearing loss.…”

“…This has prompted investigation into the possibility that certain nutrients and foods may also be associated with the incidence of hearing loss. Higher intake of n -3 fatty acids ( 10 , 12 ) , oily fish ( 10 , 12 , 13 ) , Mg ( 14 ) , vitamin intake, including vitamins A ( 15 ) , B 12 (16 – 18 ) C ( 14 ) and E ( 15 ) , antioxidant intake, including β -carotene ( 14 ) , and moderate alcohol consumption ( 19 ) have been associated with a lower incidence of hearing loss. Conversely, Shargorodsky et al ( 20 ) found that the overall intake of vitamins C, E and β -carotene was not associated with the incidence of hearing loss in men.…”

The association between dietary patterns (DP) and prevalence of hearing loss in men enrolled in the Caerphilly Prospective Study was investigated. During 1979During -1983, the study recruited 2512 men aged 45-59 years. At baseline, dietary data were collected using a semiquantitative FFQ, and a 7-d weighed food intake (WI) in a 30 % subsample. Five years later, pure-tone unaided audiometric threshold was assessed at 0·5, 1, 2 and 4 kHz. Principal component analysis (PCA) identified three DP and multiple logistic and ordinal logistic regression models examined the association with hearing loss (defined as pure-tone average of frequencies 0·5, 1, 2 and 4 kHz >25 dB). Traditional, healthy and high-sugar/low-alcohol DP were found with both FFQ and WI data. With the FFQ data, fully adjusted models demonstrated significant inverse association between the healthy DP and hearing loss both as a dichotomous variable (OR = 0·83; 95 % CI 0·77, 0·90; P < 0·001) and as an ordinal variable (OR = 0·87; 95 % CI 0·81, 0·94; P < 0·001). With the WI data, fully adjusted models showed a significant and inverse association between the healthy DP and hearing loss (OR = 0·85; 95 % CI 0·73, 0·99; P < 0·03), and a significant association between the traditional DP (per fifth increase) and hearing loss both as a dichotomous variable (OR = 1·18; 95 % CI 1·02, 1·35; P = 0·02) and as an ordinal variable (OR = 1·17; 95 % CI 1·03, 1·33; P = 0·02). A healthy DP was significantly and inversely associated with hearing loss in older men. The role of diet in age-related hearing loss warrants further investigation.

“…It has been suggested that diet quality plays a role in the relation between body composition and age-related hearing loss. Studies observed a relation between food groups, such as fish and carbohydrates consumption, and hearing thresholds [12–14]. However, many complex interactions occur across different food components and nutrients [15] which triggered the interest to study effects of dietary patterns as a whole [15].…”

Background: With the aging population, the prevalence of age-related hearing loss will increase substantially. Prevention requires more knowledge on modifiable risk factors. Obesity and diet quality have been suggested to play a role in the etiology of age-related hearing loss. We aimed to investigate independent associations of body composition and diet quality with age-related hearing loss.Methods: We performed cross-sectional and longitudinal analyses (follow-up: 4.4 years) in the population-based Rotterdam Study. At baseline (2006-2014), 2,906 participants underwent assessment of body composition, diet, and hearing. Of these 2,906 participants, 636 had hearing assessment at follow-up (2014-2016). Association of body composition and of diet quality with hearing loss were examined using multivariable linear regression models.Results: Cross-sectionally, higher body mass index and fat mass index were associated with increased hearing thresholds. These associations did not remain statistically significant at follow-up. We found no associations between overall diet quality and hearing thresholds.Conclusions: This study shows that a higher body mass index, and in particular a higher fat mass index, is related to age-related hearing loss. However, whether maintaining a healthy body composition may actually reduce the effects of age-related hearing loss in the aging population requires further longitudinal population-based research.

The aim of this study was to determine and evaluate the association between potassium intake and hearing thresholds in the Korean adult population. Data from the Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey were analyzed. Participants were divided into tertiles on the basis of their potassium intake as follows: low, middle, and high. Pure-tone audiometry was performed using an automated audiometer. We calculated as the average threshold at the low-frequency pure-tone average (0.5 and 1 kHz), mid-frequency pure-tone average (2 and 3 kHz), and high-frequency pure-tone average (4 and 6 kHz). The average hearing threshold (AHT) was calculated as the pure-tone average of the thresholds at 0.5~3 kHz. Hearing loss (HL) was defined as an AHT of >40 dB in the better ear. There were 1975 participants each in the low, middle, and high tertile groups. The four different average hearing thresholds significantly decreased with an increase in the potassium intake tertile. Multivariate analysis revealed that the four different average hearing thresholds were significantly lower in the high tertile group than in the other two groups. In addition, univariate and multivariate linear regression analyses showed that the potassium intake level was inversely associated with each of the four different average hearing thresholds. Analyses of participants matched based on propensity scores and participants not matched based on propensity scores yielded similar results. The results of this study suggest that high potassium intake levels were associated with a lower prevalence of HL and lower hearing thresholds in the Korean adult population.
