About Hearing & Vision

Hearing and vision are two senses many people take for granted until they start to change. After 50, it's common to have more trouble hearing conversations in noisy places, to notice ringing in the ears, to need more light for reading or to find night driving harder. Some of these changes are a normal part of aging; others are signs worth checking with a professional.

Our hearing and vision guides explain how the ears and eyes change with age and what you can do to protect them: limiting loud noise, using hearing protection, wearing sunglasses that block UV light, not smoking, eating plenty of leafy greens and colorful vegetables, and keeping blood pressure and blood sugar in a healthy range. We also explain why regular hearing tests and eye exams matter, even if you feel fine.

On the supplement side, we look at the nutrients with the most research behind them, especially lutein and zeaxanthin for eye health and the AREDS2 study from the National Eye Institute. Our lutein and zeaxanthin guide covers doses and food sources. VisiFlora is the eye supplement we've reviewed, with lutein, zeaxanthin, bilberry, saffron and zinc. For hearing, our look at hearing supplements explains what the research can and can't promise, and we review Audifort, a daily liquid supplement.

Supplements don't restore lost hearing or vision. Sudden hearing loss, sudden vision changes, eye pain or flashes of light need urgent medical attention. All reviews summarize the information published by the manufacturer and the seller, with prices and guarantees dated.
