AUDITORY ENHANCERS
Formal research regarding the field of hearing improvement from the use of supplements is practically nonexistent, and my experience with nutrients that improve hearing is limited compared to my experience with those supplements that improve vision. My eyesight is normally 20/30, with a slight astigmatism; hence, I can appreciate even subtle changes in vision that some nutrients provide. Nevertheless, my hear*ing is excellent, and it is difficult for me to notice subtle improvements. Nevertheless, there are certain nutrients that I am quite certain have a definite influence on hearing; these include pregnenolone,
NADH, and pantothenic acid.
I first became aware of pregnenolone’s effect on auditory appre*ciation while driving back to Los Angeles from a medical conference in Palm Springs, California. It was early evening, and I was changing the stations on the car radio when I realized that just about every song was pleasant to my ear, whether it was classical, jazz, rock, Celtic, or country. That morning I had taken 20 mg of the hormone. I hadn’t enjoyed listening to music that much since my teenage years. I have since noticed this auditory enhancement on multiple occasions.
The first time I noticed the effects of
NADH on hearing was while dining at a Peruvian restaurant. They were playing Andean flute music in the background at a very low volume. I sat there mesmerized, in full appreciation of the gentle flute notes, while my three friends at the table could hardly hear, let alone appreciate, the melody. My dose that morning was 5 mg.
Additional nutrients that can potentially enhance auditory appreciation include pantothenic acid, the
Amino Acids phenylalanine and tyrosine, the methyl donors, and some of the adaptogenic herbs such as ginseng. I am quite certain we will eventually discover many other supplements that improve hearing.
