“In animal studies, the mitochondrial enzyme nicotinamide riboside, when provided as a supplement, protected the animals against age- or noise-induced hearing loss. Other studies have explored how NAD supplementation affects global mitochondrial function and DNA damage.”

“Maintaining healthy vision is more than just correcting eyesight—it's about nourishing your eyes, practicing good habits, and exploring cutting-edge tools and techniques to protect and enhance your vision. In this Aliquot, you'll hear expert insights from Drs.”

“These interactions trigger a cascade of chemical modifications to proteins within the neuron that, in turn, lead to changes in gene expression levels. Consequently, BDNF function is essential for appetite, coordination, balance, hearing, memory, and learning.”

“Approximately two-thirds of all adults over the age of 70 have some degree of hearing loss. Few people seek out treatment, however. A recent study found that even mild hearing loss – when hearing is still considered normal by most people – is linked to cognitive decline.”

“Roughly two-thirds of adults over 70 have some degree of hearing loss, but few seek out treatment. A recent study found that hearing aids reduce the risk of premature death in older adults with hearing loss by 24 percent.”

“A new clinical trial tested whether gene therapy could improve hearing in people born with mutations in a key hearing gene. The study included 10 participants aged 1.5 to 23.9 with a condition called OTOF-related hearing loss.”

“All participants had normal cognition at the beginning and underwent a hearing test and a self-assessment of their hearing. The researchers compared the number of new dementia cases over time with each participant's hearing status at the start of the study.”

“Older adults with hearing loss are more likely to experience cognitive decline and an increased risk of developing dementia. However, a new study suggests that hearing aids can moderate this risk.”

“Then the effect of playing a tone on the auditory cortex was much the same as if the animal had actually been moving -- a result that confirmed the importance of [the secondary motor cortex] in modulating the auditory cortex.”
