    Published in American Journal of Clinical Nutrition

    Key Findings

    Combined high intake of beta-carotene or vitamin C with high magnesium was associated with better high-frequency pure-tone averages.

    Conclusions

    Antioxidant plus magnesium intake may act synergistically to protect hearing, on cross-sectional evidence.
