Elderly patients with hearing loss may choose the following dietary therapies:
Stewed Cistanche with Lamb Kidney

Remove the Cistanche slices, add appropriate amounts of ground pepper, monosodium glutamate, and refined salt. Consume as a dish or snack.
Function: Cistanche is known as "the ginseng of the desert," sweet and warm in nature, entering the kidney meridian to tonify kidney yang and enrich essence and blood.
