OptiHear is a natural supplement that contains vitamins, minerals and plant extracts. It has been developed to respond to the increase in presbycusis (age-related hearing loss, in which there is a decline in the ability to hear and distinguish high-pitched sounds), and noise-related hearing loss.
What is in OptiHear?
OptiHear has been developed in line with the latest scientific data. Its star ingredient is Ginkgo biloba, a plant traditionally used for normalising circulation, and which acts on hearing problems in two ways:
- It contains flavonoids (ginkgoflavonglycosides) which help to relax capillary resistance, increase blood flow to the inner ear and combat platelet activating factor which encourages blood viscosity and inflammation of blood vessels (14-15). They also act as ‘body armour’ against the oxidative agents responsible for the deterioration in hearing, and thin the blood.
- It also contains terpene lactones (particularly bilobalides) which strengthen the neural circuits involved in hearing. They help to increase mitochondrial energy production in neurons and reduce the presence of oxidising elements.
Thus, in a clinical trial, ginkgo biloba supplementation (240mg/day) was shown to restore auditory function in those with partial hearing loss (1).
It also contains:
- magnesium bisglycinate: magnesium contributes to the normal functioning of the nervous system, making it a valuable support for the transmission of auditory signals. The bisglycinate form is particularly well absorbed by the body;
- quercetin dihydrate: this flavonoid, naturally found in certain plants, is known for its antioxidant properties, which may be beneficial for the protection of auditory cells exposed to oxidative stress. In its dihydrate form, quercetin combines efficiency, purity, and optimal absorption;
- vitamin B3 (niacinamide): it helps maintain normal mucous membranes and supports normal nervous system function, which are essential roles for the balance of the ENT area;
- zinc gluconate: zinc is an essential mineral that helps protect cells from oxidative stress, a major factor in the aging of auditory cells;
- vitamin A (beta-carotene): it contributes to the integrity of mucous membranes, including those of the auditory canal;
- vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol): it supports the proper functioning of the immune system, which may help maintain the natural defenses of the ear.
What is age-related hearing loss?
Age-related hearing loss is the result of inevitable deterioration of the auditory system. Over time, the 30,000 hair cells in the inner ear (which detect sounds) permanently disappear or stop working. Like longsightedness, it develops after the age of 50 and affects the highest frequencies in particular, as this type of frequency is encoded by the most complex hair cells.
The best way of reducing its intensity is to combat the free radicals produced in the ear. Capable of altering the ear’s cells, these free radicals are generated by numerous factors such as smoking, excess weight, poor diet, most popular non-prescription medications (which are ototoxic), and above all, noise, whether chronic or occasional. A number of studies have shown that excessive noise causes mechanical and irreversible damage to the cochlea throughout life. If the noise is loud enough, the free radicals will cause the death of many cells, producing a vasoconstrictive reaction (narrowing of the blood vessels) in the ear, which generates even more free radicals (2-4), as happens with a heart attack. After several decades, the accumulation of cell deaths manifests in incapacitating hearing loss, though it’s really after the age of 50 that things start to accelerate.
What natural ways are there of combatting this process?
To counter this process, the body uses antioxidants. While it is able to produce them itself, the diet also provides antioxidants, both in dietary compounds that facilitate endogenous production, as well as ready-formed exogenous antioxidants (such as glutathione).
OptiHear has been developed as a natural weapon against this process. With its carefully-selected ingredients, it helps to:
- Promote dilation of the small blood vessels in the inner ear to prevent and repair free radical-induced damage to the cochlea, and even partially restore lost hearing.
- Increase endogenous production of the most effective antioxidants for hearing, such as superoxide dismutase and glutathione.

Any questions?
Presbycusis has a number of symptoms. If you have already experienced any of those listed below, it's time to take action:
- Reduced ability to hear dialogue in noisy environments (group exchanges).
- Recurring tinnitus.
- The constant feeling that the person speaking is mumbling.
- Having to ask people to repeat themselves.
If you don't have any of these symptoms but are aged over 60, there is still time to think about prevention.
- Hearing loss puts people at a distinct disadvantage: fewer interactions with those around them, gradual exclusion, loss of esteem, depression, lack of confidence, increasing difficulty communicating …
- The longer you wait to act, the more the neural circuits lose their ability to hear complex sounds and the worse the hearing loss becomes. It's a vicious circle.
- A recent study demonstrated a link between age-related hearing loss and cognitive decline. Problems with hearing may hasten the development of a number of cognitive impairment issues.
- As many as 70% of 70 year-olds are believed to have significant hearing problems. According to the WHO, 1 in 4 people globally are expected to have a hearing problem by 2050.
- It's difficult to overcome using drugs because the inner ear contains a fluid which is constantly sweeping away substances supposed to treat the dysfunction.
We recommend taking 1-2 vegetarian capsules, three times a day.
Alongside supplementation, it's also a good idea to:
- Commit to eating a balanced diet, packed with antioxidants (fruit, vegetables, spices, seeds …).
- Avoid high noise levels as much as possible.
- Participate fully in social interactions and re-engage with group activities.
- Significantly increase your level of physical activity. Regular exercise improves the circulation in the inner ear by engaging the cardiovascular system (5).
This product’s capsules are composed of HPMC (hydroxypropyl methylcellulose), a plant substance derived from cellulose. HPMC is widely used for medicines and dietary supplements. It contains no animal ingredients, is recognised as safe by health authorities and is considered more sustainable than synthetic alternatives.
