Regularly Eating Fish May Help Lower Your Risk Of Developing Tinnitus

A new study indicates that regularly eating fish could significantly lower the risk of developing tinnitus, a condition characterized by persistent ringing or buzzing in the ears, which currently has no cure. Researchers from Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston examined data from 73,000 participants over 30 years. They found that those who consumed fish more than twice a week had a nearly 25% lower risk of developing tinnitus compared to those who ate fish less frequently.......CONTINUE READING THE ARTICLE FROM THE SOURCE>>>>>

Even one serving of fish per week was linked to a 13% reduction in risk. Light-meat fish, such as tuna, cod, and halibut, as well as shellfish, were associated with a lower likelihood of tinnitus, while darker fish like salmon and swordfish appeared to increase the risk.

Interestingly, the study found that fish oil supplements, commonly used for their heart and brain health benefits, were linked to a higher risk of tinnitus.

Tinnitus affects around 15% of adults in the UK, often linked to age-related hearing loss, ear injuries, or circulation issues, although its exact causes remain uncertain. The research adds to previous studies on the connection between diet and hearing health, suggesting that omega-3 fatty acids in fish may protect inner ear cells or reduce inflammation.

The researchers hope their findings will contribute to better prevention and treatment strategies for tinnitus in the future.
