Safety limit warning levels for the avoidance of excessive sound amplification to protect against further hearing loss.

abstract：OBJECTIVE:A significant relationship between dietary nutrient intake and susceptibility to acquired hearing loss is emerging. Variability in the outcomes across studies is likely related to differences in the specific metrics used to quantify nutrient intake and hearing status. Most studies have used single nutrient an...
