Auditory dysfunction - partial (hearing loss) or absolute (deafness) inability to perceive surrounding sounds. Inflammatory processes in the auditory analyzer, general infections, barotrauma, prolonged exposure to noise, damage to the auditory nerve, etc. can provoke the development of pathology.
Distortion of audio signals and difficult perception of the interlocutor's speech indicate the occurrence of a problem. Ignoring the signs leads to even greater hearing impairment and the development of complete deafness. Treatment of deafness with folk remedies allows you to eliminate inflammatory processes in the organ of hearing, which leads to partial or complete restoration of sound perception.
Causes
According to statistics, approximately 8% of all inhabitants on the planet suffer from hearing loss. At the same time, the development of sustainable hearing loss can be due to a wide range of environmental and biological factors. The effectiveness of the treatment of pathology largely depends on the cause that provoked a decrease in hearing acuity. The main experts include:
- hypertension;
- atherosclerosis;
- Meniere's disease;
- age-related changes;
- lead or mercury poisoning;
- ear pathologies (otitis media, eustachitis);
- serious head injuries;
- uncontrolled intake of antibiotics;
- blockage of the auditory canal with a sulfur plug;
- infectious diseases (flu, pharyngitis, tonsillitis).
It should be noted that hearing treatment with folk remedies will be effective only in the absence of damage to the ossicular chain, ear labyrinth and eardrum.
If the auditory dysfunction was triggered by a serious injury, it will be possible to correct the impairment only after undergoing surgical treatment.
Elimination of sulfur plug
How to improve your hearing at home? The cause of hearing impairment is very often a blockage of the external auditory canal with a sulfur plug. If it completely blocks the ear canal, there is a feeling of congestion in the ears, as well as resonance of your own voice in the head (autophony).
To soften and eliminate sulfur plug, the following types of folk remedies can be used:
- almond oil: instill 5-6 drops of warmed oil daily into the sore ear for 10-15 days;
- onion juice: grate 1 onion, then squeeze the juice with cheesecloth. Place 3-4 drops of juice in a stuffy ear for 2 weeks;
- hydrogen peroxide: slightly warm a 3% hydrogen peroxide solution, then drip 5-6 drops of the product into the ear canal.
After softening, the plug must be removed from the ear canal. To do this, the head is dipped in water so that the ears are under water. Thus, conditions are created for the rapid evacuation of the plug from the ear canal.
Deafness treatment
Baked onions are one of the most effective alternative medicine for eliminating hearing loss. The product contains substances that have a beneficial effect on metabolic processes in cells, which accelerates the process of tissue regeneration. It is advisable to use baked onion juice in case of chronic inflammatory processes in the middle ear cavity.
To prepare the drug you will need:
- make a depression in one onion;
- put in the formed recess 1 tsp. dill seeds;
- bake the onion in the oven until a brown crust appears;
- chop the onion and squeeze the juice out of it.
To eliminate deafness, it is necessary to instill 7-8 drops of juice daily into the sore ear for a month.
Important! You can not use onion juice in the treatment of purulent inflammations at the stage of their exacerbation. Severe irritation of the ear mucosa will only accelerate the spread of purulent foci.
Propolis
The development of hearing loss may be associated with impaired blood circulation in the ear, which negatively affects tissue trophism. To resume normal blood microcirculation, herbalists recommend using propolis tincture. It has a pronounced irritant effect, which promotes increased blood supply to the mucous membranes in the middle and outer ear.
How to restore hearing with folk remedies? To prepare a medicinal tincture, you must:
- 40 g of propolis pour 150 ml of vodka;
- insist the product in a dark place for 10 days;
- mix the strained tincture with vegetable oil in a ratio of 1: 4;
- soak cotton turundas in the solution and put them in your ears for 9-10 hours;
- the procedure should be repeated daily for 14 days.
The systematic use of the agent promotes the regeneration of tissues that have undergone morphological changes. Thanks to the procedure, sound perception can be significantly improved even with the development of senile hearing loss.
Cedar tincture
Unlike synthetic drugs, folk remedies for deafness do not reduce local and general immunity. Antibiotic abuse is often the cause of the development of pathogenic flora in the ear cavity. To eliminate purulent processes that provoke hearing impairment, cedar tincture can be used.
Cedar tincture is a natural antiseptic, which contains useful trace elements, ascorbic acid, as well as B and E vitamins. To prepare the tincture, you need:
- pour 1 cup of pine nuts with alcohol or vodka;
- let the tincture brew in a dark place for 30 days;
- strain the prepared product.
How to get your hearing back at home? To eliminate hearing loss provoked by inflammation or damage to the auditory nerve, it is enough to drink 50 ml of water daily with 10 drops of tincture diluted in it. The average course of treatment is 1-2 months.
Calamus tincture
Calamus is a unique product with an antispasmodic, analgesic, decongestant and tonic effect. According to many herbalists, the herbaceous plant speeds up the healing process of tissues. Its medicinal properties are due to the presence of such useful substances as vitamin C, tannins, choline, essential oils, zinc, manganese, etc.
Regular use of the product allows you to restore normal blood circulation in the mucous epithelium, which lines the surface of the ear cavity. The calming and regenerating effect of the product leads to the elimination of hemorrhagic eruptions that occur with bullous otitis media and other types of ear pathologies that provoke the development of deafness. How to restore hearing at home?
To prepare a medicinal tincture, you must:
- grind the washed calamus root;
- squeeze out juice with gauze;
- mix the juice with 20% alcohol in a 1: 1 ratio;
- insist the solution in a dark place for 2 weeks;
- drink 1 teaspoon of tincture three times a day before meals.
Important! Alcohol tinctures should not be consumed by patients suffering from high acidity of the stomach. Irritation of the stomach lining can cause ulcers.
