Red wine protects against deafness caused by noise

This story from the Scotsman contains very good news for me and, I suspect, for you: "Hearing loss caused by loud noise may be reduced by the antioxidants in red wine, green tea and aspirin, it was claimed yesterday." I think you have to be drinking red wine before exposing yourself to the noise, rather than drinking your hearing back. Which is a shame. So if you see a drunk bagpipe player, you'll know why. (Thanks, Danny & Peter)

Odd, given that aspirin is usually regarded as an ototoxin: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ototoxin
 
green tea is good for lots of things... tasty too - i drink some almost everyday... throw in a bit of honey and some royal jelly and you good to go
