This is a really interesting Lion’s Mane study!!

Researchers took 80 people between the ages of 50 and 79 with hearing loss and put them into a double-blind, placebo-controlled trial for 8 months.

One group received 2 grams a day of an erinacine A-enriched Lion’s Mane mycelium, while the other received a placebo.

What caught my attention was what happened in the people over 65.

The Lion’s Mane group showed improvements in certain measures of hearing, particularly high-frequency hearing and speech recognition. Researchers also found changes in NGF — nerve growth factor — which is involved in the growth, maintenance and survival of nerve cells.

Now, this doesn’t mean Lion’s Mane is a treatment for hearing loss. It was one relatively small study, and interestingly, the results were more apparent in the older participants.

But I find this fascinating because Lion’s Mane is normally spoken about in terms of memory and cognition. Here we’re seeing researchers investigate whether its effects on the nervous system could potentially extend beyond the brain itself.

Another really important detail: they used Lion’s Mane mycelium enriched in erinacine A, not simply a standard Lion’s Mane fruiting-body extract.

Eight months is also a decent amount of time. This wasn’t a “take Lion’s Mane for a week and see what happens” experiment.

Definitely an area I’d like to see more research on.

My personal story with mushrooms. Please note: This isn’t medical advice but instead just a long form video of me telling my story. I hope you manage to get to the end of it and leave a comment or question.

I visited an indoor Maitake mushroom farm, and what they’re doing there is fascinating. The facility is essentially experimental, they’re growing Maitake indoors under controlled conditions to see whether the mushrooms can produce the same important active compounds that we find when Maitake grows in its natural environment. While I was there, we got talking about Maitake and the immune system, and I was told about a study where roughly 4 grams of Maitake per day for two weeks doubled white blood cell counts. I mentioned this in the video, but afterwards I went looking for the research myself. There is some really interesting research here, but I need to correct that particular statistic. Human research in cancer patients has used around 4–6g of whole Maitake powder per day together with a concentrated Maitake MD-fraction, with researchers reporting 1.2–1.4 times greater immune-cell activity when Maitake was used alongside chemotherapy compared with chemotherapy alone. There’s also experimental research showing that Maitake beta-glucan may help white blood cells, lymphocytes and neutrophils recover following chemotherapy-induced bone marrow suppression. So the connection between Maitake and immune function is genuinely interesting, but I can’t substantiate the specific claim that 4g of Maitake for two weeks doubles your total white blood cell count, so I wanted to correct that here. This is actually one of the things I love about visiting mushroom farms and speaking to people in the industry — you hear something fascinating, then you go home, find the papers and see what the science actually says. 🍄🔬 DocMartysMushrooms
