We have all heard about the health benefits of fish oils, also referred to as Omega 3 fatty acids. Some include cardiovascular health, joint health, and treatment for dry eyes, to name a few. Now a recent study has revealed fish oils have a protective capability against hearing loss.

The study published in The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition found if you eat two servings of fish (and the fried fast food fish doesnt count), you lower the risk of hearing loss by 42% if youre 50 years or older. The study also found supplements of omega-3 fatty acids lowered the risk of hearing loss by 14% - a number significant enough to consider adding these supplements to your daily diet.

Bottom line? Dietary intervention with omega-3 fatty acids could prevent or delay the development of age-related hearing loss, according to the study researchers.
