It should be noted I had a fractured skull with ruptured eardrums decades ago that reduced my ability to hear well. After ingesting turmeric I don't have to have people keep repeating what they say. Sound is no longer "muffled".

About 2 weeks ago, I washed my hair in the shower and it did not go well. I came out with only a little hearing left. I used all the usually cleaning methods that worked before, but they did not help this time. I resorted to the Q-tip to help remove excess wax. Three days passed and I still could not hear my own voice.
I recalled that Rob of Kentucky mentioned that Vicks Vapor Rub had the ability to dry out excess water. I cannot find that post. So about the fourth night, I put the Vicks around my left ear. When I woke up the next morning I had some hearing in that ear, Yaaay. So the next night I put Vicks around and on both ears. Wow, I could hear YouTube again without a hearing aid. Everyday my hearing got better, "Now I can hear better than before I took the shower! " I only used it about four or five days, but the healing continued. I also started taking Astragalus about the second day of using the Vicks.
Astragulus has helped my hearing before. That also was only taken about 5 days.
God is Good.

Here is a great video for hearing restoration. People who wear hearing aids will certainly love this one.
I admit I have had some hearing loss in both ears since I was a child, I did not start wearing hearing aids until I was an adult. They are costly so most of the time I only used in one. I mentioned my present further hearing loss situation in my previous post. I have been to the medical doctor and she did not see any problem. She looked at the test results and said, "I want to be as healthy as you are when I get your age, lol. Therefore, I am diagnosing myself. It seems to be more of a throat or tooth situation that is causing my problem, however it is improving, praise God.
I started wearing the hearing aide in my left ear when it no longer helped me in my right ear, I now had to clear wax out of that ear more often. Now the hearing in the left ear became lower. I did not know what happen for sure to the right ear, so I did not want to keep cleaning out wax. So, I searched YouTube and found this Video.

"Now my hearing in the Left ear is better than ever, what a wow!" When I put the hearing aid in things sound too loud. So in the train stations and noisy places I take out my hearing aid (hah, ha, ha sudden peace and quiet).
My right ear still has a lot of hearing loss, however I noticed that as my throat is getting better the ear and gums are less sore. Now I am eating two to three pieces of fresh Garlic cloves each day. Sometimes I take two to three 1000mg garlic gel caps instead. I also rub on a little Adoniki Balm or Vicks on the ear as a pain killer. I also use Castor oil to move soreness. What I have noticed, if I rub the castor oil on the ear it will help the dry eyes without applying it to it.
When you get a chance, try the exercise on the video to help increase-hearing volume. I noticed a hearing increase before the week was up.
Sincerely,

I just want you to know I still have my hearing. I thought I would update because my daughter complimented me because I have been hearing her without my hearing aid.
No, I cannot hear a whisper. I have been hard of hearing since I was a child, however I hear better now than I have in a long time. If I feel like my hearing is decreasing, I rub some Vicks on before I go to bed. Now I don't have to keep my hearing aid on in the house.

Vicks Vapor Rub, Astragalus
I just rubbed it in back, and front of my ear and went to sleep. I could not find the post from Rob at that time. However I see from the bar he left for us a few days ago, that the Vicks Vapor Rub can also be put on a cotton ball and left in the ear over night.
Ear Syringe
★★★★★
It took about a week or two to kill the possible infection and stop the soreness. By the time the pain was gone, I had "No hearing in that ear".
What I had not thought to do was to wash out the wax and oils by using an ear syringe, I figured all would slide out as usual with bent over head.
My daughter bought an ear syringe for herself, guess who used it, that's right little old me. This is about the fourth day that I have used it, and thank God some of my hearing is returning again. First I put in some Sweet Oil (olive oil) it comes with a dropper, for about five minutes. Then I use the ear syringe with warm water to wash out the oil and wax. It works!
Years ago I went to the doctor to have my ears washed out, I don't know if they still provide this service.

This time I only shot the warm water twice in each ear and got results. The ear that I wear the hearing aid in spilled out a nice little chunk of old wax to increase the hearing ability in that ear.
I thought that was important to share, because you may not be able to stand to do the rinse more than once or twice. So rinse again in an hour or the next day, or the next week, but don't give up. Eventually, the old wax will melt and the hearing should be restored or increase as mine did.
Some ear doctors may still do this service.

Turmeric
Initially, it was a rounded 1/2 tsp. for my swollen fingers from eating leftover beef. No pepper or fat. It was after reporting that, that I learned from you guys about adding fat and or pepper. I had called my doctor to report about my fingers (his wife went through the same thing) and noticed I could hear better on the phone.
As I have mentioned to you before, I am reluctant to report things like this because I have been weeding hidden sources of MSG out of my diet for over two decades and I have learned how small sources add up. Just the flowing agent in salt that so many are ingesting has a lot to do with inflammation and fluid retention along with our now tainted food supply with the infiltration of GMO's that cannot be avoided. I believe my friend from Jr. Hi has become diabetic just because she ate so many grains, salads and fresh fruit.
My post was purposely intended for the Meniere's section here, on EC, for the benefit of a friend in CA that has a problem with fluid in his ears and nausea. He did report taking ginger for that. I gave him this site but in reviewing posts here under Meniere's I noticed there was no mention of turmeric so I felt it appropriate to mention what happened to me.
It seems trivial to talk about the flowing agent (hidden source of MSG) in salt but it can contribute to so much havoc. We need sodium for our hearts...it is the flowing agent in commercial table salt that is the culprit and causes fluid retention. Magnesium is important and can offer some protection against the damaging effects of MSG. It is hard to discuss one without mention of the other.
Back to the turmeric...because it was reported to contribute to constipation (you know I don't need that! ) I combined a rounded 1/4 tsp. with cayenne or ginger at different times throughout the day. After I heard from you about taking fat and/or pepper with the turmeric, I started that but did not notice a difference. If I have eaten something that closes my ears, like too much cheese, I take 1/2 tsp. in some warm water.

Avoid Vegetable Oils
★★★★★
Just leave out all, and I mean aaalll, vegetable oils in any form. They clog eyes and ears..
★★★★★
Therefore, I do believe that saunas and hot baths as well as vigorous exercise (as much as can be safely tolerated), are likely to be very helpful to maintaining and improving one's hearing (as well as eyesight!). Also, it pays to be aware that some prescription medications can have ototoxic effects--as in, they can damage the hearing. In my experience, doctors won't typically warn you because this side effect is considered "rare" (or more likely, hard to definitively link to medication). So the internet is your friend, and just generally, it's best to avoid prescription medications whenever possible, since most of them are prescription-only because they have the potential to cause nasty side effects.
It's not comforting that a serious side effect is rare if you happen to be the one who experiences it.

I had ruptured eardrums forty-seven years ago and was hard of hearing. I tried using a hearing aid for only a week and did not care for it. In the last several years I discovered turmeric helps me. You could try making a tea with 1/4 tsp. in about 1/2 C warm water two or three times a day. Maybe increase to 1/2 tsp. when you find out how you tolerate it. Because it can be constipating you can sprinkle it on vegetables. It is beneficial to use a little black pepper with it. Wishing you luck. <><

Potassium
★★★★★
The other day I drank 6 ounces of OJ and noticed a dramatic, immediate (<5 minutes) improvement in my hearing. After that I researched potassium relative to hearing loss and found there is a correlation between the two. Of course OJ is loaded with potassium. Blood tests can determine if a person is low in the hormone aldosterone and can be added as a supplement

You could try sprinkling turmeric on her food but it may take awhile to notice improvement because it would depend on what else she eats. Add a little ginger because it also reduces inflammation. I believe it is our tainted food supply that is more of a cause for my hearing loss than the injuries. When I can notice improvement on ingestion I think that speaks for itself.

Chinese Cinnamon is known as "Cinnamomum Cassia" and Sri Lankan Cinnamon is known as "Cinnamomum Verum".
If a person can afford to do so, I would recommend the Sri Lankan variety, as it seems to be considered to be the best one by most sources I have looked at. If you think the price is high, you might be interested to learn how incredibly labour-intensive it is to produce. Such a business to process! The Portuguese, the Dutch and the British in turn, all sought to dominate the trade in Cinnamon hundreds of years ago. Colourful history there!
Cheers, M
P.S. Ingesting too much Cinnamon can be bad for the liver as you say but Sri Lankan Cinnamon is possibly the safer one to try first in small doses.

Extra Virgin Olive Oil, Coconut Oil, Avocado Oil are absolutely the only oils to use.
Increase Circulation
My mother had horrendous hearing loss and now that I think about it, it probably got worse after she stopped exercising when she was in her 70s. I know people in their 80s and 90s with great hearing, so it's possible!
Makes sense that increasing circulation to the body would help the ears.

This is a thank you note to thank you for your thank you note! I just want to mention I cannot take capsules. They are a hidden source of MSG, which can affect hearing. I put the turmeric powder in warm water to make a tea and/or sprinkle it on my food. I would bet you could open just one capsule, take the contents and get similar results.

How wonderful!
How much turmeric and how often?
Do you happen to take it with black pepper and/or fat?
Thank you!

Sensorineural Hearing Loss Remedies
Concerning your hearing loss, you said you are 36 years old and the loss of hearing has started in the past 5 months. Tell us more; are you on a medication that might have side effects? Is the hearing loss on one side or both sides? Have you had recent sinus/ ear infections that might indicate you have a bacterial/fungal or viral infection...Also an infection in both ears might have come from swimming in a pool that was infected...there are lots of pathogens that are water borne. I'm suggesting that "something" happened six months ago (right before the onset of hearing loss) that caused the loss of hearing.
If the onset is suspected to be caused by a virus I'd try using an ear syringe with colloidal silver or some other anti viral you might have in India. I do know that the use of silver is common in India...even consumed as a silver leaf over rice...but silver might not work so well against some fungi. I don't think CS is effective against "microsporum canus" (ringworm) for instance. But there are effective anti-fungals. The point is, if you suspect any of the 3; bacteria, virus, or fungus one could try agents that are known pathogen killers. I once studied major ear diseases and as I recall, 3 of the 4 major ear diseases were linked to pathogens.
Still, try to remember if there was some event prior to your onset of hearing loss 5 months ago. I'm guessing there was and that might help determine what to suggest more specifically than I have been able to do herein.

Magnesium
★★★★★
One day I woke up with what I thought was an ear blocked with wax. But, no matter how hard I tried, no wax would come out. Then I started researching and discovered that sudden sensorineural deafness was what I had. It stated that ssd occurred due to a lack of magnesium in the body. So I started taking magnesium in the form of magnesium orotate 4 tablets of 500 mg 2x daily on an empty stomach. No results. Then I switched to chelated magnesium glycinate/lysinate with bioperine (an extract made from black pepper which increases bioavailability of beneficial substances and also chemical drugs). The deafness disappeared within 3 days. You must take the elemental dosage recommended for your age group. I tried a chelated magnesium with calcium, but that did not work nor did magnesium citrate.

I am 28 years old and have about 30% high frequency hearing loss in both ears and also suffer from tinnitus. Can you recommend something for my ears?
Thank you
Do you know the cause of the hearing loss? Is this new?
Do you use ear buds or have to work around loud machinery, noises or music? In this day and age, there are so many things that put the delicate ear at risk.
Do you have a history of ear infections? One of my sons seemed to have subclinical seasonal hearing loss which affected his learning to read. If this is a possibility, you could look at Earth Clinic's cures for ear infections.
You might also look at the cures for tinnitus.
