HI MZ

Here are some ideas on how to heal your condition. #9 or #10 will solve the issue, but you still need to look at your water and nutrition intake in general.

Causes of Hearing Disorders
Among the most common causes of hearing disorders are allergies, antibiotic and other drug use, the buildup of earwax, infection and inflammation, and chronic exposure to loud noises.

Quick Action Plan for Hearing Disorders


1. Clean your ears regularly, using cotton swabs, but do so gently to avoid damaging ear tissue.

2. Avoid exposure to loud noises. If you work in a noisy environment, wear earplugs or earmuffs to protect your ears.

3. Be screened for both food and environmental allergies. A highly effective method for detecting allergies is electrodermal screening (EDS).

4. To eliminate allergies, consider enzyme-potentiated desensitization (EPD).

5. Emphasize a diet rich in organic whole foods, especially plenty of fresh, organic vegetables, along with garlic and onions to boost immunity. Also eat high quality protein foods, such as organic free-range meats, poultry and wild-caught fish.

6. Avoid all foods to which you are allergic or sensitive, and eliminate all commercially processed foods, as well as sugar, refined carbohydrates, alcohol, and caffeine, and all food additives, colorings, and preservatives.

7. Drink plenty of pure, filtered water throughout the day.

8. Useful nutrients for hearing problems include vitamin A, beta carotene, B vitamins, vitamin C, zinc, MSM, and N-acetyl cysteine (NAC). Acidophilus supplements are also recommended to prevent infection and systemic yeast overgrowth (candiasis).

9. Useful herbs include Echinacea, ginkgo biloba, goldenseal, hypericum, and St. John’s wort. Drops of tea tree oil and diluted grapeseed extracts inserted in the ear via an eye dropper can also be helpful.

10. Useful homeopathic remedies include Aconite, Apis mellifica, Belladonna, Chamomilla, Ferrum, phos., Lycopodium, Merc. Sol., Pulsatilla, and Silicea.

11. According to traditional Chinese medicine theory, most hearing disorders are related to imbalances in the kidney meridian system. Rebalancing kidney energies using acupuncture and Chinese herbs can often resolve hearing problems.

12. Auditory integration training, such as the Tomatis Method, can be highly effective for resolving hearing problems related to hypersensitivity to high frequency sounds.

Best of health to you

Answer 3

If your grandmother's "loud screech" is audible to others, it is not her tinnitus, it is the hearing aid - it isn't fitting properly. However, a small percentage of the population with tinnitus has found that putting things in their ears makes the tinnitus sound louder. It typically does not change the sound of the tinnitus (if they hear a high pitch ringing it just gets louder, it does not change to a screech or crickets or anything). If she can tolerate things in her ears there are devices than can amplify the TV and radio. "TV Ears" have various ways of connecting to devices, either by plugging directly into the TV or by using an external microphone placed in front of the TV speakers. The advantage to the microphone is that it will pick up all the room sounds as well, including voices. Simple to use - large wheel that is an on/off switch and volume control in one. When not in use it sits in a base and charges. There is another device - "The Pocket Talker" which has earphones or earbuds that your grandmother would wear and they are plugged into a small box that has a microphone on it. She would wear the box in a shirt pocket or point it at the person talking. Very simple to use - on/off switch and volume control. For other items meet with an audiologist or search for "Assistive hearing devices"

Answer 4

Nomadd has given you a good answer. The other possibility is that the tone of your tinnitus 'clashes' with the tone from the TV. If your TV is making some kind of background noise when it is on.

Answer 5

Tinnitus usually gets less noticeable when there's background noise. Yours could be coming from the inner ear mechanism generating noise when sound is present. That could be good news since some of those types of conditions are correctable. You need to see a crack audiologist to find out.
