How do I improve my severe/profound sensorineural hearing loss naturally without hearing aids?

---

Has anyone been able to improve their sensorineural hearing loss naturally? I want to hear better without(and with) hearing aids, especially in the high frequencies. What kinds of herbs or medicines can do this? Also what kind of hearing exercises should I do?
IMPOSSIBLE!

once the hair cells are damaged they are damaged. there is no magical-medicinal cure for a sensory/ neural hearing loss.

buck up and get your self some hearing aids. if you have a high frequency loss. make sure they have directional microphones and at the very least 8 channels so the audiologist has greater programming ease.  (+ info)

What chemicals or drugs will cause sensorineural hearing loss?

---

According to the American Speech - Language - Hearing Assoc., sensorineural hearing loss can be caused by diseases, birth injury, drugs that are toxic to the auditory system, and genetic syndromes. I would like to know what kind of drugs or chemicals can cause sensorineural hearing loss. Thanks for the help.
Antibiotics that end in "mycin/micin" are ototoxic ("toxic to the ear") for starters...erythromycin is commonly given and fortunately not really ototoxic whereas, gentamicin is very toxic. They also affect different parts of the "ear"....gentamicin will affect your sense of balance before it will affect your hearing. Your balance organ (labrynthe) is attached to your hearing organ (cochlea). Levels of these antibiotics *must* be monitored carefully via blood testing for the duration of the administration.
Other drugs common drugs that can affect your hearing are cancer and AIDs medications. Cisplatin is a common chemo drug that destroys your hair cells.
Quinine, asprin etc also can affect your hearing, but these are often reversable once the dosage is stopped.
Chemicals at work can also damage your hearing and can also make you more sensitive to occupational noise damage. Benzene, for example, can be found in many work places and being exposed to it plus noise can perminantely destroy much of your hearing.
Pretty much any chemical that can destroy kidney function...can and does affect hearing function.
The list actually is quite large of known agents...  (+ info)

where are the health organization who can help 3 years old female presented with sensorineural hearing loss?

3 years old female named heba younes from iraq presented with deafness (sensorineural hearing loss ) sice birth . now there is a cured surgery called cochlear implantation surgery can cure this disease but unffortunatly the operation can not be done in iraq . so we need your help to make this patient heba travel to outside the country to do this operation. thank you
There are approximately 200 centers in the United States that perform cochlear implants. Many of them have policies regarding doing operations for free using devices that are donated by manufacturers. I've listed a few links at the bottom of organizations in the US that work with hearing impaired children who may be able to help. Cochlear implants are also very common in Europe -- Scandanavia, Germany, Austria, and the UK have very well established cochlear implant centers. One of the cochlear implant manufacturer's (Med-el) is based in Austria.

However, you need to understand that the device itself is not a cure for deafness. The first year after implantation requires many, many visits to a trained audiologist to program the device to work appropriately for the child. If you do not have an audiologist in Iraq who can do this, the implant surgery is almost useless. Also, there is special rehabilitation called AVT which should be undertaken to maximize the results with the implant. I doubt under the circumstances that either of these are available in Iraq right now, therefore, it is likely that the family needs to be prepared to spend a year or more in the United States to receive all of the follow-up care that Heba will need. So you understand the expense of what you are seeking, the cost for the surgery, device, and followup for the first year for someone without insurance in the United States can frequently reach $90,000.

Cochlear implants are a miraculous device. I work with children who have them who were born deaf, and many of them have normal speech and language. I wish you luck in obtaining this miracle for Heba. I would start with obtaining a head CT as this is necessary to ensure that Heba can benefit from a cochlear implant -- you would not want to make all the arrangements to come over here only to find that this surgery will not work for her.  (+ info)
