Patients with nerve-induced tinnitus and deafness need to pay attention to some principles in their diet, and the following are some dietary principles for reference:
Light diet: Keep your diet light and avoid salty foods to avoid aggravating your condition.
Balanced diet: Maintain a balanced diet with a variety of vitamins and minerals to maintain good health.
Eat more iron-rich foods: such as animal liver, animal blood, lean meat, egg yolks, spinach, etc., which can help improve blood flow in the inner ear**.
Eat more zinc-rich foods, such as black rice, fish, oysters, lean meats, coarse flour, onions, etc., which can help promote the recovery of the auditory nerve.
Eat more magnesium-rich foods, such as dates, walnuts, sesame seeds, bananas, kelp, seaweed, and grains, to help protect the auditory nerve.
Eating calcium-rich foods such as fresh milk, dairy products, soy products, pork rib soup, eggs, fish broth, fruits, fresh vegetables, and organ meats and whole grains can help maintain the normal function of the inner ear.
Eat more foods containing B carotene and vitamin A: such as carrots, green leafy vegetables, cabbage, pumpkin, egg yolks, cod liver oil, etc., which can help protect the auditory system.
Avoid spicy foods: Spicy foods may cause irritation, further affecting hearing.
Avoid fatty foods: Fatty foods may cause increased blood lipids and blood viscosity, which is not good for blood in the inner ear**.
Alcohol and tobacco control: Excessive alcohol and tobacco consumption may have toxic effects on the inner ear, further damaging hearing.
These principles are not absolute, as each person's constitution and condition are different. When developing a specific diet plan, it is advisable to consult a doctor or dietitian for professional advice.
