This noise can come from our work or from voluntary exposure to noise, such as noisy motors or loud music at rock concerts, night clubs, discos and from stereos - with or without the use of headphones. The increasing use of portable MP3 players is increasing the effects of hearing loss.
Causes of sensorineural hearing loss:
- Aging
- Injury
- Excessive noise exposure
- Viral infections (such as measles or mumps)
- Shingles
- Ototoxic drugs (medications that damage hearing)
- Meningitis
- Diabetes
- Stroke
- High fever or elevated body temperature
- Ménière's disease (a disorder of the inner ear that can affect hearing and balance)
- Acoustic tumors
- Heredity
- Obesity
- Smoking
- Hypertension
Signs and symptoms of hearing loss may include:
- Muffling of speech and other sounds
- Difficulty understanding words, especially against background noise or in a crowd of people
- Trouble hearing consonants
- Frequently asking others to speak more slowly, clearly and loudly
- Needing to turn up the volume of the television or radio
- Withdrawal from conversations
- Avoidance of some social settings
- Here are the different causes of each type of hearing loss.
Remedies for Hearing losses
- Avoid cold and raw foods and icy beverages, as the coldness may constrict the eustachian tubes, causing poor drainage from the inner ears.
- Avoid processed meats and dairy products, as they have a tendency to increase mucus production. Protein deposits similar to those in milk have been found in the inner ear of patients with partial hearing loss.
- Ear irrigation can remove excess wax buildup, which can be a cause of diminished hearing. Ear wax kits with specific instructions are available at some pharmacies. You may also want to visit your ear, nose, and throat specialist if the problem becomes severe.
- Make a spice-ginger tea by boiling together 1 heaping tablespoon each of dried oregano, cilantro, rosemary, sage, and cinnamon, plus 3 slices of fresh ginger in 4 cups of water for 15 minutes. Cover the pot to prevent steam from escaping as it boils. Strain, and drink 3 cups a day for at least 3 weeks.
- Make a bone marrow soup with organic sheep’s bones or calves’ bones. Cook 3 pounds bones in a large pot filled with 8 cups water with 1/3 cup each of black beans, kidney beans, and adzuki beans, 2 diced carrots, 2 diced celery stalks, 1 sliced onion, and 1/2 cup dried seaweed. Season with 1 teaspoon each turmeric, cumin, and black pepper. Do not use salt.
