Eating more fruits, dietary fibre, dairy products and caffeine is linked to a lower risk of tinnitus (ringing in the ears), according to international researchers. To investigate the link between diet and the condition, the researchers combined the results of eight observational studies involving just over 300,000 people overall. Looking at 15 different dietary factors, the researchers say higher fruit intake was linked to a 35% reduction in tinnitus risk, dietary fibre a 9% reduction, dairy products a 17% reduction and caffeine a 10% reduction. They say their findings are based on a relatively small base of evidence and the studies they looked at can’t prove these diet choices caused the participants’ lower tinnitus risk, but their findings do support the theory that high-quality nutrients can help prevent ear and hearing damage.
