Harvard Medical School has just revealed a disturbing link between a popular food and rising cases of severe hearing issues, including tinnitus.

It turns out this everyday food contains alarming levels of a hazardous compound found in nearly 87% of those struggling with persistent ringing or buzzing in the ears.

Can you guess it?

A) Aged Cheese (Cheddar)
B) Processed Meats
C) Dark Chocolate
D) Pickles (Fermented Cucumbers)
E) Canned Tuna

Recent studies show that this hazardous compound accumulates in our bodies over time...

Interfering with key brain functions that protect our hearing health and inner ear balance.

Not only does it contribute to that frustrating "ringing" sensation, but it's also a newly uncovered root cause of more severe hearing difficulties as we age.

And if you think it must be the processed foods...

...you might be in for a surprise.

This hearing-harming food may shock you.

kes are elongated limbless reptiles of the suborder Serpentes. Cladistically squamates, snakes are ectothermic, amniote vertebrates covered in overlapping scales much like other members of the group. Many species of snakes have skulls with several more joints than their lizard ancestors and relatives, enabling them to swallow prey much larger than their heads (cranial kinesis). To accommodate their narrow bodies, snakes' paired organs (such as kidneys) appear one in front of the other instead of side by side, and most only have one functional lung. Some species retain a pelvic girdle with a pair of vestigial claws on either side of the cloaca. Lizards have independently evolved elongate bodies without limbs or with greatly reduced limbs at least twenty-five times via convergent evolution, leading to many lineages of legless lizards. These resemble snakes, but several common groups of legless lizards have eyelids and external ears, which snakes lack, although this rule is not universal (see Amphisbaenia, Dibamidae, and Pygopodidae).

Living snakes are found on every continent except Antarctica, and on most smaller land masses; exceptions include some large islands, such as Ireland, Iceland, Greenland, and the islands of New Zealand, as well as many small islands of the Atlantic and central Pacific oceans. Additionally, sea snakes are widespread throughout the Indian and Pacific oceans. Around thirty families are currently recognized, comprising about 520 genera and about more than 4,170 species. They range in size from the tiny, 10.4 cm-long (4.1 in) Barbados threadsnake to the reticulated python of 6.95 meters (22.8 ft) in length. The fossil species Titanoboa cerrejonensis was 12.8 meters (42 ft) long. Snakes are thought to have evolved from either burr
