Categorised as mild, moderate, severe and profound, hearing impairment has turned to be the major problem faced by many around. Most of the cases ranging between mild to moderate loss happen to be temporary, whereas the severe and profound are generally permanent calling for the need of hearing aids.

While the permanent type is only possible to be treated by medical professionals via use of hearing aids and other techniques; dealing with mild and moderate loss can be done without much effort. Given the fact that it is a temporary condition, you can always make attempts to prevent it from turning into a permanent one. Here let us check out the ways of improving the functioning of ear cells and keeping them safe from the damage. Have a look on the different ways by which you get to minimise the probable use of hearing aids:

Eating habits

• 
  You can certainly bring in a great deal of difference by taking control of your eating habits. Make it a point to consume foods such as milk, yoghurt and cheese. These are rich in vitamin D and thus help the bones stay stronger.
  
• 
  Consuming a diet that's low in saturated fats slows down the production of ear wax. Though the wax is needed for cleaning the inside of the ear, too much of it can cause a blockage as well. Food items rich in high saturated fats contribute in over production of ear wax.
  
• 
  Free radicals contribute erosion of the inner ear and to tackle this problem you must take a diet rich in anti-oxidants like the tomatoes.
  

Lifestyle

• 
  It is very important to bring in some change in the lifestyle too. If you don't wish to get dependent on the hearing aids; stay away from loud noise.
  
• 
  Cut down the use of headphones for longer duration. This will help the ear cells relax and recover from the slight damages.
  

Cleanliness

• 
  Infections too can cause the ear cells to rupture and the best way to combat them is proper cleaning of the ears. Use soft cotton buds to clear the outer surface of your ears and remember not to penetrate it deep within.
  
• 
  Ear wax helps in keeping the inside surface clean but if it is produced in excess quantity, you might encounter pain. Don't take it out on your own rather visit a doctor and rectify the same.
