　　There are many factors leading to presbycusis, and zinc deficiency is an important reason. Zinc is an extremely important one of the 14 trace elements necessary for the human body, so it is called the "life element". The content of zinc in the cochlea is much higher than in other organs. And those over 60 years old elderly The content of zinc in the cochlea is significantly reduced, which affects the function of the cochlea and leads to hearing loss.

　　Research data from British scholars show that 1/3 of patients with presbycusis have low serum zinc concentrations. These patients all have symptoms of zinc deficiency, such as brittle and easily cracked or peeling nails, hair loss, and loss of taste or smell.

　　After 3 to 6 months of zinc supplementation treatment, when zinc deficiency symptoms improved, 25% of the patients' tinnitus was relieved, and about 20% of the patients' speech recognition was improved (they were obedient and did not interrupt). Foods rich in zinc include: fish, beef, pork liver, chicken, chicken liver, egg , various seafood; apples, oranges, walnuts, cucumbers, tomatoes, cabbage, radishes, etc.
