Noise‐induced hearing loss (NIHL) is significantly greater in rats fed a magnesium‐deficient diet than in rats on a magnesium‐rich diet. The hearing loss was found to be negatively correlated with the magnesium concentration of the perilymph. It is suggested that also in man, the magnesium concentration in the perilymph may be of importance in determining susceptibility to NIHL.
