I read that magnesium can help prevent hearing loss. Is this true? Are there any other vitamins or minerals that can help?

The older you get, the more likely you are to experience some degree of hearing loss. Over the age of 65, almost one out of every two people has lost some hearing as have about 25 percent of those between the ages of 55 and 64. In addition to aging, exposure to loud noises can damage hearing, even when you’re young.
