play00:00

today we're going to talk about how to

play00:01

resolve hearing loss with nutrients and

play00:04

of course when you do research on this

play00:05

topic you're going to find this word

play00:07

that keeps popping up over and over and

play00:10

over as the cause of hearing loss and

play00:12

that is it's idiopathic what does that

play00:15

mean it means we don't know there's two

play00:18

types of General hearing loss you have

play00:20

the congenital which doesn't necessarily

play00:22

mean it's genetic it could just mean

play00:25

that your mother had an infection when

play00:27

she was caring you and that created

play00:29

hearing or it could have been an iodine

play00:32

deficiency that she had or alcohol

play00:35

alcohol can severely affect the hearing

play00:38

and many other things involved with the

play00:40

nerves but also viruses can do it as

play00:42

well cyto megala viruses herpes viruses

play00:46

so that is congenital okay then you have

play00:49

acquired hearing loss you might see this

play00:51

term age related hearing loss but

play00:54

there's not a lot of solutions other

play00:55

than hearing aids so the two main things

play00:58

that I see that are affecting hearing

play01:01

are a group of viruses and also

play01:04

nutritional deficiencies so when you go

play01:06

through an acute infection there's an

play01:09

initial dramatic decrease in zinc and

play01:13

iron both of these are related to a loss

play01:17

of hearing and this is why after a

play01:19

chronic infection people start

play01:21

developing like ulcers inside the mouth

play01:24

that is a zinc deficiency a loss of

play01:26

taste or smell that's also a zinc

play01:29

deficiency or they start craving things

play01:32

weird like dirt ice charcoal all of

play01:37

those could be an iron deficiency now

play01:39

viruses can also create other

play01:42

deficiencies too like a selenium

play01:45

deficiency but selenium is fascinating

play01:48

because it's involved in the thyroid

play01:51

helping convert from T4 to T3 the active

play01:54

form of the thyroid hormone it's also

play01:56

key in helping the t- helper cell work

play01:59

and that is the cell that helps

play02:01

coordinate the entire immune system so

play02:03

selenium is important in inflammatory

play02:05

conditions as well as autoimmune

play02:08

conditions especially if it's related to

play02:09

the thyroid as in hashimotos there are a

play02:12

lot of viruses involved in hearing loss

play02:15

you have measles which by the way can

play02:17

deplete you of vitamin A you have

play02:19

shingles it was the chickenpox when you

play02:21

were a kid so it is important to kind of

play02:23

look in your past to see when your

play02:25

hearing loss started and what happened

play02:27

right before that did you get some re

play02:29

occurrence of a virus that was in

play02:31

remission then we have the sensory

play02:34

nerves that are involved in the ear that

play02:36

can become damaged having diabetes

play02:39

that's called diabetic autonomic

play02:42

neuropathy this involves a severe B1

play02:46

deficiency B1 is like the key nutrient

play02:50

to help your autonomic nervous system

play02:52

and if you're diabetic you're

play02:54

automatically going to be deficient in

play02:56

vitamin B1 so if you have all the sugar

play02:59

going through your bloodstream stream

play03:00

it's going to take a lot of B1 to

play03:03

metabolize that and it could affect the

play03:05

inner ear so B1 is another really key

play03:08

nutrient to help hearing but if you're

play03:10

going to take B1 especially if it's

play03:13

related to diabetes I would recommend

play03:14

taking something called botam that can

play03:17

actually penetrate into the myin sheath

play03:19

into the nerve so then we get into

play03:22

Vitamin D first of all you have all of

play03:25

the autoimmune diseases that relate to

play03:28

hearing loss you have autoimmune inner

play03:31

ear disease you have Lupus and ritro

play03:34

arthritis but the antidote to all of

play03:37

those is vitamin D in higher doses

play03:40

there's also a big connection between

play03:41

low vitamin D and vertigo which is also

play03:45

related to the air and on top of

play03:47

that viruses can really lower your

play03:51

ability to absorb vitamin D at the

play03:54

receptor level so even though you're

play03:56

taking the regular amounts you might not

play03:59

be getting it in the receptor because

play04:00

that virus is downgrading the receptor

play04:05

and I'm not telling you to start taking

play04:06

all these vitamins I'm just giving you

play04:08

Clues to look at your life to see if you

play04:11

could potentially connect the dots

play04:13

between some deficiency that you might

play04:16

have and you're hearing loss and did you

play04:19

know that you have three little tiny

play04:22

fragile bones in the inner ear and if

play04:25

they're not formed properly or they're

play04:27

not working correctly you can start

play04:29

experiencing hearing loss and so

play04:31

selenium protects you against loud

play04:34

sounds because it's all about countering

play04:36

oxidative stress and the same thing with

play04:39

iron and zinc one little point about uh

play04:41

selenium this is a very powerful

play04:43

molecule to protect you against

play04:45

oxidative damage and hydrogen peroxide

play04:49

buildup now hydrogen peroxide uh can

play04:52

even trigger an autoimmune disease and

play04:54

so this is why people with Vitiligo and

play04:57

inflammatory conditions should be taking

play05:00

selenium but here's the thing in order

play05:02

to hear you need to have high amounts of

play05:06

pottassium and if you don't have enough

play05:08

potassium you won't be able to hear now

play05:10

the last thing I want to talk about is

play05:12

elderone it's a hormone that's made from

play05:14

your adrenal glands that helps you

play05:17

regulate potassium and it's relates to

play05:20

blood pressure control as well now why

play05:22

would elderone helps someone because as

play05:25

we age elderone goes down but also

play05:31

potassium goes down too now just to

play05:33

learn more about potassium if you have

play05:35

not seen my video on potassium you

play05:38

should probably check it out I'll put it

play05:40

up right here
