Forum - Improve hearing

This Week In The HSI Forum

“Improve hearing,” is the promising title of a thread on the HSI
Forum this week. But improving on hearing that has been reduced
with age is easier said than done.

An HSI member named Robert starts the thread with this question:
“Can hearing be improved without the application of hearing aids
when the probable cause of the hearing loss was exposure to high
intensity noise?”

A member who goes by the initials DGH knows what Robert is
talking about. He says, “I grew up listening to loud music, as I
know many of you probably did, so it will be interesting to see if
we all end up with hearing aids. I thought hearing loss was usually
caused by ‘noise vibrations’ that shear off the little ear hairs that
are responsible for our hearing. Once gone, I thought you were just
out of luck.”

A member named Don has hearing impairment from the noise of
guns being fired. He says, “It seems to me that it comes down to
whether or not some hair cells within the ear are destroyed or
merely injured – thus with the potential for recovery.”

There are actually several ways that hearing can be damaged.
Some people are simply genetically predisposed to suffer
presbycusis; the medical term for age-related hearing loss. Ear
infections, free-radical damage and reduced blood flow to the ear
can impair hearing, as can the use of some antibiotics
(streptomycin, neomycin and kanamycin) and chemotherapy.

A member named Patty has had an unfortunate experience with a
popular diuretic drug. Patty writes: “Lasix causes hearing loss, big
time! I have been taking Lasix for some years now because of a
heart condition. I am now almost deaf because of it. A couple
nurses told me that they know for sure that Lasix causes hearing
loss. The pill book says so too, but does not tell how bad it can be.”

Other diuretic agents may cause problems as well, according to a
member named Ambar who believes that taking a high dose of the
diuretic herb astragalus may have caused hearing problems. Ambar
adds, “A physician told me that a vitamin B1 deficiency could
have contributed to it as well. So I would wonder whether anyone
taking Lasix should be taking B-complex. By the way, vitamin B-6
is a diuretic.”

There are several natural treatments that may stop or even reverse
hearing loss. The free-radical problem can be addressed with
antioxidants such as zinc. And because reduced blood flow can
affect every part of the body during aging, boosting the circulation
of blood to the ears’ auditory mechanisms may restore hearing.
Some people have had good results using vinpocetine; a semi-
synthetic vasodilator (it increases circulation), derived from the
periwinkle plant, and widely used to enhance both hearing and
mental processes.

A member named Jerry offers this suggestion to improve hearing:
“Apple Cider Vinegar is an excellent therapy. ACV should be
taken as 1 tsp or so in a glass of water 3 times daily. Adding a tsp
of honey would be a plus.”

A more artistic suggestion comes from a member named Gerry,
who writes: “Hearing can be improved by listening to high
frequency sounds. It seems that our ears are dulled by low
frequency sounds, particularly if they’re loud. Naturally rich in
high frequencies are music with a lot of stringed instruments
(Mozart music is famous for this, though baroque ear music from
Handel, Vivaldi, and Bach are also in this category).”

In a series of postings between Gerry and other members, he offers
details about a high frequency generator that can be downloaded
from the Internet. In addition to improved hearing, there may be
another bonus to using high frequency therapy. Gerry writes:
“High frequency sounds ‘tone’ the brain and thus, reduce the
amount of sleep needed by someone. And for me, it does reduce
my need for sleep.”

If you’ve had success in treating hearing loss with high frequency
therapy, apple cider vinegar or any other natural treatment, send us
an e-mail, or join in with the discussion on the “Improve hearing”
thread on the Forum.

DO AS THEY DO, NOT AS THEY SAY

While many doctors are reluctant to “prescribe” herbal remedies and
other alternative measures, did you know that they secretly are using
them to protect themselves from the germfest they are faced with each
day in their offices and hospitals?

In fact, doctors use these remedies to keep from catching infections.
They use them to lower their cholesterol and protect their heart. They
use them to get rid of aches, pains and stiffness. And they use them
to prevent strokes, Alzheimer’s and cancer.

RAVEN MAD

“Well, it wasn’t pretty, but it was a win.”
“Maybe the offense will show up next week.”
“With the way we’re playing, next week is a must-win.”

Ahhthe typical cries of the Ravens fans have been replaced with
phrases like, “The kid looks pretty good.” And, “Did you see that
touchdown?!”

Yes, it’s early yet but it looks like this may be the dawn of a new
era in Baltimore. For two weeks straight, the Ravens offense has
shown up, scored on its first drive, and led the team to a critical
victory against a division rival. And the idea of the offense leading
the team may be something you’re used to in Indianapolis or New
England, but it’s pretty revolutionary in Baltimore.

And while Ray Lewis will always be the leading force behind this
team, I could get used to having an offense to cheer for.

But Monday night could be scary. The Kansas City Chiefs are
coming into town at an astonishing 0-3. The team that won 9
straight games last year is stuck in the basement. So they clearly
have the words “must-win” on their minds. Priest Holmes has been
a machine (he scored 27 touchdowns last year), and he knows this
Ravens team better than any other running back in the NFL. But
the Ravens have a pretty impressive history at home on Monday
night, even when they were a much weaker team than they are
today (just ask Denver).

So my money and my heart say Baltimore will swagger away at 3-
1, while KC stays in the basement at 0-4. Sorry, Priest.
