New research suggests that a precursor of vitamin B3, known as nicotinamide riboside (NR), may prevent nerve damage caused by loud noises. NR was successful at preventing damage to the synapses connecting the nerves in the ear, avoiding both short-term and long-term hearing loss in mice, regardless of whether it was given before or after the noise exposure. The success of this study suggests that use of NR could be useful in preventing many age-related disorders--not only hearing loss but also metabolic syndromes like obesity, pulmonary hypertension, and even diabetes. bit.ly/1yYxQUr
