Hearing loss is a common issue that can be caused by a variety of factors, including viruses, nutrient deficiencies, diabetes, and autoimmune conditions. In this video, Dr. Eric Berg discusses how these factors can contribute to hearing loss and provides valuable insights on how to address them.
Nutrient deficiencies such as zinc, iron, and selenium can lead to hearing loss, particularly after an acute infection. Viruses like measles and shingles can also impact hearing, as can diabetes, which can cause damage to the sensory nerves in the ear. Vitamin D plays a crucial role in protecting against autoimmune conditions that may affect hearing.
Dr. Berg emphasizes the importance of potassium for hearing and discusses the role of aldosterone, a hormone produced by the adrenal glands, in regulating potassium levels. By addressing these nutrient deficiencies and underlying conditions, it may be possible to improve hearing and prevent further loss.
Ultimately, understanding the potential causes of hearing loss and taking proactive steps to address them can help individuals better manage their hearing health. Check out the video for more insights on restoring hearing loss fast.

Today, we’re going to talk about resolving hearing loss with nutrients. Viruses and nutritional deficiencies are the leading causes of hearing loss.
When you experience an acute infection, there is an initial dramatic decrease in zinc and iron. Both are related to hearing loss. Viruses can also cause selenium deficiency. Selenium is important in converting T4 to T3 and supports the T-helper cell, which coordinates the entire immune system.
Diabetes can damage the sensory nerves in the ear and cause hearing impairment. This is known as diabetic autonomic neuropathy. Hearing loss associated with diabetes results from severe vitamin B1 deficiency.
Vitamin B1 is the key nutrient supporting the autonomic nervous system; if you’re diabetic, you’re likely deficient. Take benfotiamine, a form of B1 that can penetrate the myelin sheath, for hearing loss associated with diabetes.
Vitamin D plays a critical role in protecting against autoimmune conditions. Many autoimmune conditions, such as autoimmune inner ear disease, lupus, and rheumatoid arthritis, can cause hearing impairment.
If the small bones inside your ear are damaged, you could develop hearing loss. Adequate potassium levels are vital for hearing.
