Help for the hearing impaired

[Guest guest]

Does anyone know any meditations or postures that help hearing impairment?

Just along shot, but...

Very helpful.

 

The impairment in question is menengitis related, so I'm not sure about some

of your suggestions helping, but I will follow up, for sure. Blood flow to

the head, for instance, certainly couldn't hurt. Thanks.

Yogi Bhajan's book 'Specific Healing Applications of Kundalini Yoga' has a

few exercises to help hearing and prevent aggravation. You can get the book

through Golden Temple. It also has exercises for meningitis so it might be

helpful. If you need me to email or post the exercises I would be happy to

do so. Please let me know.

 

Yes, it would be wonderful if you would post the exercises. I would greatly

appreciate that, as I am on a very tight budget and am just seeking help for

a student of mine who is hearing impaired from menengitis and asked if I knew

of anything.

 

Thank you so much.

Sat Nam:

 

I haven't run across any yoga that specifies hearing improvement, but

depending on the source of the impairment, the asanas that improve

blood circulation to the head (like cat-cow) might be helpful.

 

I recently read an article about dietary supplements that help with

certain types of hearing loss, including age-related (presbycusis),

vascular impairment, Meniere's disease, and otosclerosis. The

supplement that shows the greatest benefit is vinpocetine (extracted

from Madagascar periwinkle) - other things that are beneficial

include magnesium and Vitamin D (cochlear deafness can be caused by

deficiency of Vitamin D). DHEA can help reduce otosclerosis, as well.

 

FYI, antibiotics, aspirin and diuretics can potentiate the activity

of ototxins (such as free radicals). Vinpocetine helps prevent

damage from ototoxins.

Sat Nam,

 

 

y mother (85) recently went to a healing clinic where cleansing was the

focus of the program. When she got back her hearing was greatly improved

and she doesn't say "What?" all the time now. Also ear candels help.
