Mental and auditory acuity, and aging

i eat relatively well because my wife cook supper...

Dinner is less well chosen... 😊

But i take this : astaxanthine ( one of the most powerrful NATURAL anti inflammatory) the most efficient for me of all my supplement because i need it ...

Berberine ( powerful diabetes ptrevention )

Black cumin or nigella sativa ( the list of proven benefits is so long it takes many pages)

Curcuma +gingember+black pepper for absorption here also too much benefits proven to write them...😊

Vitamin d each day ( 4,000 mg )

Vitamin c each day (2,000 mg)

Omega3 fatty acid oil

Minerals each day ( small dose)

It is my each day supplement for years...

I even felt the effect of astaxanthine on my eyes fatigues and on some inflammation zones as the gall bladder inflammation...

curcumal is magical for the metabolism and elimination...

Berberine is so powerful i take only 500 mg a day with 2 i feel disconfrort where you done need to ... I take it as a sugar bad effect control... It work...

my eyes and ears are stable at 73 three...

Nigella sativa and curcuma and astaxanthine are powerful ... Read about them...

Each of us are different than you must research FOR YOUR SPECIFIC NEEDS and take care of the possible secondary effects... Interaction with other drugs is very dangerous then take nothing without extensive research... Try anything one products at a time and watch your body to see negative impact and taking the right dosage...Berberine for example for my sugar level ask for my actual dosage of 500 mg...Not more...

Ask your doctor if his mind is open to something which is not big pharma drugs...

I did not ask mine because she is mind controlled... And instead of berberine for my sugar level she will advise me WRONG with a pharma  drug etc ....I am not diabetic but on the borderline.... The last time i measure it was OK thanks to berberine...

I am 67, with hearing that sits in the upper percentile for my age.

But, even with the inevitable loss of some high frequency hearing that comes with age, there is so much more that I don’t think diminishes.

Dynamics, soundstage, imaging, the rest of the frequencies, attack/decay, timbre, can still be heard and evaluated.

Not to mention, that the musical instrument that goes the highest, is the violin, at 16K hz, and that is including the harmonics. The instrument with the highest fundamental is the piccolo, at 4K. The majority of instruments, including harmonics, are under 13K.

So, the detriment to listening to music/audio that comes with age related high frequency hearing loss, may be a bit overstated.

Each person is different. I have two friends my age who have to wear hearing aids but aren't audiophiles. I, on the other hand, lost 80% hearing in my right ear at age 20 before I became a full fledged audiophile and enjoy music as much as I did in my 20s. Have I lost hearing range.... I don't know but since I don't and still enjoy music as much as always, it doesn't matter. Life goes on. 

Getting old is not the problem, being old is.
