Re: [Harp-L] Hearing Loss

[mark wilson <markwilson53@xxxxxxx>]

Dr. Michael Seidman has had impressive results slowing and reversing  
age related hearing loss with
the use of acetyl-l-carnitine and alpha lipoic acid.  The two  
supplements, in combination with one another,
have been a hot topic lately in the life extension community.  They  
appear to slow the aging process and
dramatically reduce oxidative stress, as well as a host of other  
impressive things that I won't get into here.
The doctor pubilished a book on the subject in 06, and will be  
featured in LEF magazines November issue.
I've looked at the studies (done mostly on rats, not humans,  
unfortunately)  and they are impressive.  If they
translate to humans, I think every musician who spends time around  
loud music should start taking the stuff.
