Conversations in places like a busy restaurant become difficult. Even talking on the phone can be a bother. Over time you realize not being able to hear is affecting the things in life you enjoy.

Let's face it, no one want to be seen wearing a hearing aid. There are alternatives and if your hearing loss is caught early, natural remedies have been shown to be very effective. Since there are so many different causes of hearing loss you will have to find what natural treatment works best for you.

While you can expect to notice improvements in your hearing, do not expect immediate results. Supplements and herbs take time but have been very effective in most cases.

What Is Hearing Loss

There are a number of conditions that can lead to hearing loss. One of themost common conditions that cause hearing loss in adults is called presbycusis. It is a gradual age related reduction in hearing, especially high-pitched sounds.

The second most common condition, noise inducedhearing loss, is caused by one-time exposure toextremely loud sound, or by exposure to sounds at highdecibels over months or years.

Certain everyday items can cause hearing loss without us knowing it. Everyday items may cause certain hearing loss like power tools, lawnmowers, city or airport traffic, headphones, loud music and even loud vacuum cleaners or hairdryers.

Both presbycusis and noise induced hearing loss results in sensorineural hearing loss. This is a process of the delicate hair cells in the inner ear thattranslates some ways into nerve impulses are damaged by aging or abuse.

High-frequency sounds are the first to be lost. Consonants like S and F become difficult to detect when hearing loss first begins. The most common cause of hearing loss in children is illness, birth defects and injury.

Loss of hearing occurs when the passage of sound waves to the brain is impaired. Depending on the cause hearing loss may be permanent or temporary. Hearing loss is not the same as deafness which is permanent in most cases.

While hearing loss can lead to hearing deficit, deafness is an inability to hear that most often occurs at, or before, birth or as a result of a major




illness or infection.

Early Warning Signs Of Hearing Loss

• People seem to mumble when they talk• Do you frequently say what? or Huh when speaking to others?• Misunderstanding names or numbers• Turning the TV or radio volume louder • Trouble hearing in noisy rooms• Trouble hearing over the telephone• Having a hard time following the conversation when two or more

people are talking at the same time • Trouble hearing in a noisy background• Problems understanding the speech of women and children

Types Of Hearing Loss

Hearing loss is divided into three categories - conductive hearing loss, sensorineural hearing loss, and mixed or central hearing loss.

Conductive hearing loss - This type of hearing loss occurs when the passage of sound waves is impeded in the external or middle ear. Such factors like earwax buildup, a middle your infection, arthritis or trauma tothe your eardrum. If you could have your choice of hearing loss, it is best to have a conductive one, as these disorders are often fixable.

Sensorineural hearing loss - Sensorineural hearing loss is a caused by damage to the structures or pathways of the inner ear. It may result from damage to the acoustic nerve which is the eighth cranial nerve, also known as the auditory nerve.

Tiny hair cells are responsible for translating sound waves into nerve impulses for transmission to the brain. If the hair cells die, they are




unable to repair themselves and the resulting hearing loss could be permanent after a certain point. One of the goals of this book is to stop it from progressing to that point.

Certain prescription medicines, nonsterodial anti-inflammatory drugs, antibiotics and even aspirin taken over a long period of time can cause sensorineural hearing loss. Other causes are quinine, viral infection of the inner ear, and Meniere's disease.

Mixed hearing loss - Frequently people experience two or more types of hearing loss, and this is called mixed hearing loss. This term is used only when both conductive and sensorineural hearing losses are present in thesame ear. Emphasis is placed on the conductive hearing loss because available therapy is much more effective for this disorder.

Central hearing loss is very rare and is usually due to severe brain damage Neural hearing loss usually occurs as a result of a brain tumor or stroke.

Hearing loss can be sudden or gradual, occurring over a period of days, weeks, or even years. Infection, trauma and earwax buildup can cause a sudden loss of hearing. Ear infections can be brought on by an upper respiratory infection, trauma to the ear or clogging of the ear canal by improperly using cotton swabs.

Poorly maintained public swimming pools with high levels of chlorine or high levels of bacteria are also possible causes of ear infection. Candidiasis is a type of yeast infection causing re-occurring ear infections in some people.

In many cases hearing loss progresses gradually. The person experiencing hearing loss does not notice it for some time. Sometimes friends or familywill mention it before the person experiencing the hearing loss will notice.




Some people will experience hearing loss in one ear or the other. A simple test for this is to gently rub your fingers together next to your ear. The sound should be equal in both ears.

Age is a major factor for hearing loss. The ability to hear high frequencies is usually the first to go this type of age related hearing is called presbycusis. Some of the causes of presbycusis are poor blood flow to theear, heart disease, diabetes, and other circulatory problems.

Common Causes Of Hearing Loss

Hearing loss caused by exposure to loud noises is becoming a major problem in today's society. When the delicate mechanisms of the inner ear are exposed to loud noises, a phenomenon called temporary threshold shift occurs also known as TIS.

If you have ever been to a loud concert or exposed to a very loud noise you may have noticed buzzing or hissing in your ears. In extreme cases you may have noticed that everything sounds like it is underwater. You have experienced temporary threshold shift. When this occurs you will only hear noises that are above a certain level.

In most cases restoration occurs when you sleep at night. However this is a sign that damage has occurred to the fine hair cells in your inner ear. This type of damage should be avoided at all cost, lengthy or repeated PTS will result in permanent hearing damage.

There are several different terms used to distinguish among the sources of noise related hearing loss.

• Diplacusis - A form of hearing loss where distortion or the pitch of a given tone is heard differently by each ear.

• Hyperacusis - An extreme sensitivity to noises whether they are




loud or not. An example of extreme hyperacusis is the sound of turning newspaper pages will seem unbearably loud.

• Boilermakers ear - A condition caused by heavy exposure to broadband noise. This results in the ability to hear high-frequency sounds and difficulty in understanding spoken words

• Sociocusis - A term used to describe her in-laws from non-work-related noise exposure. In most cases people who develop noise related hearing loss are never wear of the fact that they are losing their hearing until they developed tinnitus or have a problem understanding speech.

Other Causes Of Hearing Loss -

• Drugs, such as quinine, aspirin and some antibiotics. These sometimes damage the hair cells in the cochlea leading to hearing loss.

• Meningitis and encephalitis infections which can lead to the inflammation of the brain and brain covering, resulting in hearing loss.

• An undiagnosed brain tumor.• Mumps or measles can sometimes permanently damage the inner

ear and auditory nerve.• A stroke can sometimes damage the ability to hear.• Undiagnosed glucose metabolism such as diabetes, hypoglycemia or

insulin resistance problems, these can damage the auditory nerve and inner ear mechanism

• An auditory nerve tumor, even though it may be benign, in some cases it will affect the function of the auditory nerve.

• Normal aging will affect hearing over time.• Meniere’s Disease, in most cases this is a disease that is age-related

and link to a deficiency in chromium• Multiple Sclerosis, an autoimmune disorder, can lead to hearing loss• German measles has been known to affect hearing in not only the




mother but also the baby, also called rubella.• Use of headphones or earbuds bombard the ear drums with

concentrated sound. Resulting in hearing damage. Concentrated sound waves from using these devices placed a major strain on the eardrum, cochlea and auditory nerve.

• Excessive glucose consumption has been linked to hearing loss whether from excessive carbs or full-blown diabetes. The delicate hairs in the cochlea are very sensitive to glucose

Popular Drugs and Hearing Damage

There are hundreds of common drugs that can effect the ability to hear. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs like aspirin in large doses or abuse can cause hearing loss. In normal doses most of these medications are completely safe. People that believe more is better and take a larger doseand prescribed may be putting their hearing at risk.

Commonly Prescribed Drugs That Can Effect Hearing -

• Some anti-depressant and anti anxiety medications• Quinine based antimalarial drugs• Loop diuretics also known as furosemide or Lasix, which reduce the

amount of fluid accumulating in the tissues• Antibiotics, including those that have been classified as

aminoglycosides, gentamicin, streptomycin, neomycin, macrolides, and vancomycin

• Chemotherapeutic agents, used to treat various forms of cancer• Large doses of aspirin• The pain reliever naproxen sodium, Naprosyn, Aleve, ibuprofen, and

many other NSAIDs

• Take some freshly extracted juice of radish, mustard oil and natural organic honey in equal proportions. Mix all of these thoroughly untilthey are uniform in consistency. Put four drops of this mixture in each ear four times a day. This will indeed help in improving the hearing capacity. This is one of the best natural remedy for hearing impairment.

• Prepare a remedy using ginger to improve hearing in the following manner - Extract some juice of ginger and add some salt in it. Then put a suitable quantity of natural organic honey in the juice and mixit well. Put two to four drops of this in each ear twice a day. There will be definite benefits.

• This remedy has been proven to be effective only if done consistently and on a regular basis. Take some tulsi leaves also known as Holy Basil and crush them so as to extract their oil. Warm




this oil slightly and put a few drops of it in each ear once a day.

• Garlic oil - Pour about 1 tablespoon of sesame oil into a small pan, and into it place 1 clove of well chopped garlic. Cook this until the garlic turns brown but do not burn it, then let it cool. While cooking,press the garlic into the oil. This helps the healing properties of the garlic ooze out and permeate the oil. The resulting mixture is called garlic oil. Place 5 to 10 drops of room temperature oil into the ear. This will improve the hearing capacity of the auditory nerve.

• Mustard oil is also very good for solving hearing problems. Make it slightly warm and then put it in the ears. Doing this just once a day is enough to improve the hearing sense.

• There are three foods that are good for improving auditory senses they are ginger, jaggery and ghee. Include these in your daily diet, and also try eating them otherwise several times in a day. There is no major harm with an excess of these foods, except that jaggery is not be advisable for people with diabetes mellitus.

• While not a home cure, acupuncture can be used to increase blood flow to the auditory region and normalize conduction, which can alleviate tinnitus as well as hearing loss.

• Niacin or the vitamin B3 helps dilate capillaries promoting blood flow to the tiny blood vessels of the inner ear. Another B vitamin choline is essential for the body to produce a key your transmitter, acetylcholine. Sources of niacin and choline can be found in beans and legumes. Soybeans, wheat germ, avocado, whole grains, peanuts, brewer's yeast, leafy greens and fish are all excellent sources

Overall, eating a nutritious low fat low cholesterol diet and avoiding refined sugars high starches and excessive carbohydrates will benefit




hearing loss. You should also eat lots of vegetable proteins, nuts, whole grains, seeds and sprouts, and garlic.

Remedies For Blocked Ears

To remove earwax buildup, clean your ears using either a solution of 1 part vinegar to 1 part warm water, or a few drops of hydrogen peroxide. Using an eyedropper, place a few drops in your ear, allow them to settle for a minute, then drain. Repeat the process with the other ear. Do this two or three times a day.

If the wax is hard and dry, apply garlic oil for a day or two to soften it. Wash out the ear with a steady stream of warm water. Be patient, continue to irrigate the ear canal, and flush with warm water. Most cases of ear wax buildup can be treated by this method.

Ear Candling

Ear candling has been around for thousands of years. It is a very good method for removing excess wax that has become impacted in your ear. It also has been known to remove toxins. If you are suffering from hearingloss due to ear canal blockage, this is a very fast and effective way to restore your hearing.

Ear Candling is a natural, non-intrusive procedure thatmay help alleviate the painful effects of chronicheadaches or sinus conditions, ear infections, allergiesor vertigo, as well as minor hearing loss due to excessiveearwax build up.

Ear candling may also draw out fungus, infection,candida, and other debris from the outer and inner earcanals and the Eustachian tube through osmosis.




Ear candling is performed with special candles that are hollow and usuallymade out of beeswax. Candles made with paraffin are not used. Paraffin can cause irritation to the eyes and nose, and some people are allergic to it.

Hot air from the hollow ear candles is claimed to melt earwax and create a vacuum that pulls out toxins from the inner ear and the sinuses.

The Ear candling Procedure

Your candling should never be done alone since it involves an open flame.The general procedure is as follows.

One end of a cylinder or cone of the beeswax is lit and the other placed into the persons ear. Usually the person is lying on one side with the treated ear uppermost and the candle vertical, perhaps stuck through a paper plate or aluminum pie tin to protect against any hot wax or ash falling down the side. However is much safer to lie flat on your back and have the candle horizontal.

Some candles have an internal filter to catch debris. The flame should be cut back occasionally with scissors and extinguished between two and four inches from the subject. Its proponents claim that the flame creates negative pressure, drawing wax and debris out of the ear canal, which appears as a dark residue inside the candle.

If possible you should seek out a treatment center to have the procedure performed by a trained professional.




Nutrients To Restore Hearing Loss

Recent studies have shown antioxidants to be very beneficial in fighting or reversing hearing loss. Part of the reverse process includes nutrients that enhance areas in cells that produce energy.

There are four nutrients that doctors say may hold the key in effectively reversing hearing loss. Trying these nutrients for six months may help improve your hearing and possibly reverse hearing loss. Acetyl-Carnitine has a combination of amino acids that helps the areas in cells turn fat intoenergy. Take 150 mgs of acetyl-carnitine a day.

Taking antioxidant supplements and other nutrients that provide proven protection against free-radical damage and enhance mitochondrial health.

We can also obtain antioxidants from certain foods and supplements. But if inadequate production or a poor diet results in a shortage of antioxidants, cellular damage may not be repaired, and sooner or later, we become ill.

There have been many studies documenting that free radicals are responsible for more than a hundred human diseases, including Alzheimer's, cancer, heart attacks, strokes, and arthritis, as well as aging and hearing loss.

Antioxidants work to protect the body against the onslaught of free radicals, the cause of many diseases. One of the most powerful antioxidants is Alpa-Lipoic Acid, which is important to take when trying to improve hearing or reverse hearing loss. Take 150 mgs a day of alpha-lipoic acid.

Glutathione is an enzyme that helps strengthen your body but also helps




two of the most powerful antioxidants, vitamin C and E, to work effectively. Take 50 mgs of glutathione a day. Also, take recommended dosages of vitamin C and E everyday.

Prevention Of Hearing Loss

We have all heard it before "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure" You only get one set of ears so it is wise to protect your hearing andavoid making your problem worse than it is.

Below are some tips on preventing hearing loss

Disposable hearing plugs are cheap and you should keep a couple of sets around so they are handy. Or get a good headset. You should always wearthem when you are exposed to excessive noise levels.

You should keep your calcium levels up to maintain healthy bones. The tiny bones in the middle ear called ossicles play a critical role in hearing. Calcium depletion can harm these tiny bones and therefore affect your hearing. Taking a good calcium supplement is recommended.

When using headphones or earbuds it is easy to get carried away with thevolume resulting in hearing damage. As a general guideline you should keep the volume low enough so you can hear the telephone rang over themusic. Anyone standing or sitting next you should not be able to hear your music, if they can it is too loud.

Limit your consumption of sugars and alcohol. These encourage the growth of the yeast, especially when you have a reoccurring ear infection and have been treated with antibiotics. You should also eliminate your intake of caffeine, sodium and chocolate.

Sometimes we use tools every day and don't think about the noise levels they emit like, lawnmowers, power tools, loud vacuum cleaners, and hair dryers.

Most iPods or other MP3 players have the ability to emit noise over 85




decibels. If someone is listening to an iPod over the vacuum, lawn mower or other noises, volume levels may be set to 100-105 decibels, resulting inhearing damage. Long-term exposure to noises at these levels will begin to damage your hearing.

Tinnitus – Ringing In The Ears

Tinnitus is a a condition that occurs in almost 85% of people with hearing loss. The best way to explain tinnitus is a constant ringing, hissing or buzzing in the ears. The noise is not external but comes from inside the person's head.

It may be intermittent or constant in character, mild or severe in intensity, vary from a low roar or throbbing to a high-pitch sound so deafening the individual may hear nothing else.

If the ears have been damaged by excessive loud noises or certain medications the brain tries to compensate and ends up producing electrical signals that the person experiences as a ringing in the ears.

Tinnitus isn't a disease. It's a symptom that can be caused by a number of medical conditions.

Causes of Tinnitus

1. Hearing loss - most people with hearing loss also experienced tinnitus too much exposure to excessively loud noises can cause tinnitus. Sometimes tinnitus can be brought on by an excessively loud concert.

2. Damage to the microscopic endings of the hearing nerve in the inner ear can cause tinnitus, this is the most common cause of the disease.




3. Stiffening of the bones in the middle ear from age or lack of calcium

4. Temporomandibular joint problems. These are known as jaw joint disorders, and they may result in clicking or grating noises when youmove the jaw. Dental problems can also cause tinnitus or ear problems

5. A tiny hole or rupture in your ear drum

6. Long term use of certain medications such as aspirin used in large doses, quinine, antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs can affect inner ear cells, causing tinnitus.

7. Tinnitus can be caused by a buildup of excess wax in your ear. This can reduce your ability to hear or inflammation of the eardrum membrane, the middle ear, or the inner ear.

8. Diet can affect tinnitus. Certain foods can trigger tinnitus. Foods including red wine, grain-based spirits, cheese, and chocolate quinine or tonic water, high fat, high sodium can all make tinnitus worse in certain people.

9. Tinnitus can be brought on by an ear infection. If an infection reduces your ability to hear outside noises, you're more likely to hear the noises related to tinnitus.

10. Tumors, allergies and other problems in the heart and blood vessels, neck and jaws can cause tinnitus. High blood cholesterol may clog arteries that supply oxygen to the nerves of the tiny inner ear causing tinnitus and other hearing related problems.

11. Blood pressure problems and as a side effect of some heart and blood pressure drugs.




12. Abnormal C reactive protein levels that indicate silent swelling and inflammation in the ears due to infection, ear ache and candida yeast which have taken up residence in the moist ear environment. Itchy ears can be an additional sign of candida yeast infection.

Home Remedies For Tinnitus

The following is a list of some effective and simple home remedies for tinnitus

• Warm some juice of the tulsi leaves also know as Holy Basil, put twoto three drops of this juice in each ear. Do this once a day continuously for three to four days.
