DEAFNESS

Some people are born without the ability to hear; other lose their hearing gradually over time especially once they reach the age of 50 or so. Whatever the case is, deafness falls into two main categories: conductive deafness and nerve deafness. Conductive deafness is, in many cases, curable, whereas nerve deafness generally is not.

Conductive deafness occurs when something hinders the transmission of sound waves to the cochlea. The cochlea is the snail shaped organ in the inner ear which picks up auditory sounds. Sound could fail to reach the cochlea for a number of reasons including infections, earwax buildup, sudden large noises, or foreign object in the ear canal. Another reason could be a condition called otosclerosis in which the small bones of the middle ear fuse together. This condition happens mainly in women between the age of 20 and 40.

Nerve deafness results when the auditory nerve itself becomes damaged. The auditory nerve is the nerve which carries auditory stimuli from the ear to the brain. It can be damaged from viral infections such as measles, mumps and German measles. German measles can wind up damaging the hearing of a baby if their mother contracts the infection during the first three months of pregnancy.

You should never attempt to self correct hearing loss yourself by probing the ear in order to remove wax or foreign objects. Digging too far could lead to perforated eardrums and even permanent deafness.

Natural ways to help your hearing

Many natural health practitioners believe that diet can greatly affect the performance of the ears. Many will recommend a diet rich in Vitamin A and B1. Vitamin A can be found in dairy products such as cheese and eggs and in liver and of course carrots. Vitamin B1 can be found in brewer’s yeast, whole meal bread, potatoes, and peanuts.  Vitamin B1 is thought to help repair damaged cell tissue in the ear and to help strengthen the auditory nerve.

If you think you might have too much earwax buildup, instead of trying to scoop it out with a swab, try to soften it with a few drops of almond oil (or olive oil), lemon juice heated in a cup of warm water to body temperature. Use a small dropper to apply this mixture to your ear canal several times daily to help soften the wax and cause it to flow out. Poking the wax with a cotton swab can actually end up compacting it and make it even harder to get out.


Tinnitus

Tinnitus is a condition of a ringing sensation in the ears. Every tinnitus sufferer has some hearing loss BUT not everyone with hearing loss will get tinnitus.

People get tinnitus because they have specific lifestyle factors in addition to hearing loss.

Unilateral deafness and tinnitus occurs when a person experiences hearing loss in one ear while retaining normal hearing in the other. This condition is also known as single sided deafness and is in most cases permanent.  While a single underlying cause for unilateral deafness has yet to be found, a sudden onset of hearing loss can be a result of trauma, measles, mumps or a high fever.   It is not at all that uncommon for a person to experience tinnitus, which is constant ringing or buzzing, in the same ear that experiences hearing loss. This is a hard to explain phenomena since tinnitus itself is not well understood and also very difficult to treat. 

The occurrence of unilateral deafness and tinnitus could be a sign of other health issues as well. When a individual suffers from both symptoms it could mean that they have acoustic neuroma. Acoustic neuromas are also labeled as Vestibular Schwannomas by people in the medical field because they are the result of the Schwann cell covering the vestibular nerve. People suffering from acoustic neuromas also report symptoms of dizziness, facial numbness and tingling along with the single sided deafness and tinnitus.

While tinnitus is still a medical mystery, most treatments for it, while difficult, do prove effective at helping alleviate the problems of constant ringing or buzzing that plague its victims. Sometimes in extreme cases, tinnitus can be caused by damage to the auditory tube as the result of head trauma or a neurological disorder. If this is the case, extensive treatments like surgery may be required.  Medications can also cause tinnitus. If this is case, the disorder will generally go away once the medication is stopped or replaced with a different brand.  For mild cases of tinnitus, there are some very effective home remedies and exercises available that can help stop or reduce the ringing.

A buildup of wax in the auditory tube or ear canal can be another cause of tinnitus. This buildup can lead to complete blockage which will cause the symptom of single sided deafness. This can be remedied with the removal of the blockage by a medical professional or through the use of an ear cleansing solution. Tick and insect bites have also been known to cause tinnitus and single sided deafness. While this is easily treatable, it is generally hard to diagnose. Once treated, hearing my comeback but the tinnitus might remain for a time.

Since so many different things can cause it, tinnitus is a difficult symptom to treat. Its presence could mean that another problem within the body and many tests might be needed until the cause is determined.


Home Remedies For Hearing Loss

Very effective remedy: Mix 1 minced garlic clove with 3 drops of Camphor oil. Take a piece of gauze bandage or fabric, fold it 2-3 times, put the mix in the middle and roll it to make it look like a tampon. Insert one end of the tampon in your ear and leave it there until you start feeling a light burning sensation. Immediately remove the tampon. Repeat the treatment every night before you go to bed for 10-15 nights.

Propolis tincture: Mix 1 part of propolis tincture with 4 parts of vegetable or olive oil and shake the mix until you get light-brown colored emulsion with a pleasant smell. Shake it every time before using it. Wet two tampons made of a gauze bandage and insert them in your ears for 1 hour. The treatment should be repeated 10-12 times every other day. This remedy will also help with otitis.
