This study addresses the influence of nutrition on otorhinolaryngological health, analyzing current evidence on dietary interventions in the prevention and treatment of the most common pathologies in the field. The objective was to explore the role of specific nutrients and dietary patterns in modulating conditions such as hearing loss and tinnitus. The methodology followed a narrative review of a descriptive and analytical nature, with a bibliographic survey from 2019 to 2025 in databases such as PubMed and SciELO. The results confirm that oxidative stress is central to the pathogenesis of these diseases, being mitigated by antioxidants such as vitamins A, C, E, magnesium, and the B complex, which act synergistically. It was observed that the overall oxidative balance of the diet (OBS) has greater clinical relevance than isolated nutrients, with healthy diets significantly reducing sensory risk. It is concluded that systemic nutrition is a promising pathway for hearing preservation, although randomized clinical trials are necessary to consolidate dosage guidelines.
