Preventing Sudden Deafness

---

Sound Therapy has proven effective for a wide range of issues related to ear function. One condition that is very dramatic and confusing for specialist is sudden deafness. This is a condition where over a period of a few days or even overnight a person suddenly loses their hearing in one ear. We know of only one case of a similar condition being remedied by Sound Therapy but there may well be others. What is most mystifying about this condition is what causes it?Sound Therapy has proven effective for a wide range of issues related to ear function. One condition that is very dramatic and confusing for specialist is sudden deafness. This is a condition where over a period of a few days or even overnight a person suddenly loses their hearing in one ear. We know of only one case of a similar condition being remedied by Sound Therapy but there may well be others. What is most mystifying about this condition is what causes it?
An article on the website of the National Institute Deafness and Other Communication Disorders suggests several possible causes including

• Infectious diseases.
• Trauma, such as a head injury.
• Abnormal tissue growth.
• Immunologic diseases such as Cogan’s syndrome.
• Toxic causes, such as snake bites.
• Ototoxic drugs (drugs that harm the ear).
• Circulatory problems.
• Neurologic causes such as multiple sclerosis.
• Relation to disorders such as Ménière’s disease.

The article suggests many experts now site a likely cause to be a lack of oxygen reaching the ear. See the article at http://www.nidcd.nih.gov/health/hearing/sudden.asp

We know oxygen is essential for life, and it is also essential for the life of each of our organs.
We have reasonable grounds to believe that Sound Therapy may enhance the delivery of oxygen to the ear. Sound Therapy creates movement in the muscles in this assists to activate bloodflow. Our program is accompanied with the recommended third-generation antioxidant blend, the potential circulatory benefits are certainly enhanced.

This leads me to think that regular use of Sound Therapy and nutrition for the ear to keep the ear mobile, pumping and well nourished could assist in preventing a condition like sudden hearing loss.

For those of us who are fortunate enough to know of this treatment it is gratifying to know we are taking positive measures to protect our long-term hearing health.
