Findings suggest an inverse association between the consumption of long-chain omega-3 PUFAs and hearing loss, with the benefit rising with intake: subjects who had over two servings of fish per week had a smaller risk (42%) of developing presbycusis compared with those who had <1 serving="serving" of="of" fish="fish" per="per">
