Ways to REVERSE hearing loss!….

Today's post:  Wednesday, 9-13-2017

*Most people are not aware of it.  But some cases of hearing loss can be fixed –totally reversed! 

Usually when reversal is not achievable, considerable improvement and better health

  -- IS achievable.

Plus if there is at least some hearing or better hearing after taking these steps, there is a new way to get back normal hearing even in loud locations with a new high tech hearing aid!

This means that people who cannot hear well now—

   ---CAN restore their ability to hear and converse even in loud locations!

* According to something I read once, the US military found that ensuring that soldiers subject to loud noises in training with guns or in combat had relatively high normal blood levels of magnesium tended to prevent permanent hearing loss and to allow for better and faster recovery from temporary hearing loss after such exposure to loud noises.

Soft drinks and high fructose corn syrup and artificial sweeteners and excess sugar and fructose and fruit juice or its concentrate and excess real sugar and ANY hybrid wheat ALL cause high blood sugar levels. AND high blood levels of these and blood sugar DEPLETES magnesium.

So, to reverse this cause of hearing loss and maybe restore hearing -- STOP all that totally –

AND take 400 to 600 mg a day of magnesium from supplements.

(These actions also turn off migraines for some people and are heart and brain protective.  For some people, they cause effortless fatloss because each of these foods and food like ingredients are fattening!)

*Similar results have been reported for maintaining high blood levels of alpha carotene & multiple carotenes.

Organic broccoli and Brussels sprouts and kale and collard greens are nonstarchy cruciferous vegetables AND in these vegetables, the dark green hides the hundreds of carotenes they contain. 

Because some parts of your eye  and ear and inner ear and their connecting nerves and the paths to them are so tiny, research has found that taking the tiny carotene astaxanthin can help create this effect for them also!

(AND, eating organic cruciferous vegetable often also slashes your risk of heart attack more than anything else yet found. 

It tends to cause fat loss and makes it easier and makes it possible to keep off fat you lose. 

Besides the carotenes, cruciferous vegetables have several cancer preventing micronutrients. 

Lastly, the indoles and folate they contain directly slow or slightly reverse aging!)

Organic tomatoes, carrots and yellow and red squash—including pumpkin puree; and yams and sweet potatoes have more carbs but eating them occasionally heated and mashed and combined with extra virgin olive oil makes their carotenes unusually bioavailable.)

Researchers believe such amounts of many carotenes enable your cells to prevent or fix damage to your DNA.

Avocados, particularly those from California, are very high in multiple carotenes; so eating them or Guacamole not high in salt, can help.

*Since some cases of hearing loss are due to auditory nerve damage from the processes that cause Alzheimer’s disease, turning off the causes of Alzheimer’s disease can reduce hearing loss or restore it.

Besides slashing the sugars, cutting inflammation and the foods that cause it can help. 

Eliminating tobacco smoke and tobacco products cuts your risk of Alzheimer’s in half! 

AND a supplement and component of foods called beta sitosterol has been found to clean out the beta amyloid tangles that cause Alzheimer’s.  In fact, this has been used to restore the sense of smell to people with early Alzheimer’s disease.  Combined with these other methods it may well restore a good bit of hearing loss in exactly the same way!

Natrol makes a “Cholesterol Balance” supplement that has the beta sitosterol and the stigma sterol that plants that have beta sitosterol also contain.   Research shows these sterols DO remove beta amyloid tangles. 

Taking curcumin or eating turmeric with black pepper and taking 10,000 iu a day of vitamin D3 + vitamin K2 has dozens of health benefits.  Preventing or cleaning up tau and beta amyloid tangles is one of them!

AND, Avocados, particularly those from California, are very high in beta sitosterol too!; so eating them or Guacamole not high in salt, can help.

*Similarly we now know how to grow new nerves and brain cells.  Doing those things can also help restore the auditory nerve and its connection to the small sound detection fibers in the inner ear.

Regular exercise from brief 7 minute brisk walks to strength training to brief but intense cardio that you work up to release BDNF that grows or replaces new brain cells and nerves. 

Doing one or more of these most days of every week grows new brain cells and even has been shown to sharply slow aging!

This kind of exercise also restores blood circulation to the brain and auditory nerves.

If you also take DHA and bacopa and an antioxidant so tiny it can access the eye and auditory nerves, astaxanthin, you can maximize this effect.  If you both do this AND cut sugars you multiply this effect! 

By using all these you can reverse or slow hearing loss!

*Second, people with hearing loss often can hear; but they lose their hearing for some higher frequencies and can have trouble hearing the higher frequencies that enable clear understanding of speech, particularly when there is loud background noise.

A directional hearing aid with some extra boost for certain frequencies can help.  Those have been out for some time.

AND, a hearing aid entrepreneur who started several hearing aid companies now has one that makes a super effective hearing aid to enable hearing someone with loud background noise.  It ALSO totally eliminates any squeal type excess feedback noise!

Other hearing aids use a small speaker to amplify sounds. The Earlens Hearing Aid uses light and a small lens placed on your eardrum to directly activate your natural hearing system. 

The result is rich, complete sound that the vast majority of people find makes it easier to understand people in noisy environments and participate in group situations.*

*Third, another alternative is to learn sign language for you and key people in your family or at work.  This works for completely deaf people AND sign is its own language.  So the learning helps boost your nerves and your cognitive reserve. 

So, there is even a cure for NO hearing!
