Deafness
Deafness means that a person has a limited ability to hear sounds. It is a communication difficulty rather than merely a loss of sound perception.
Causes :
The cause for deafness is the prolonged exposure of ears to a loud noise. Whenever a person works in a hostile and very noisy environment; his tender parts in the ears are found to be damaged. This temporary loss of hearing may extend even after leaving the place.
TThis results in permanent deafness. Also some studies have revealed that hearing loud music and songs through ear phones or talking over mobile with the help of headphones may result in too much concentration of sound in the ear drums thereby leading to hearing loss even at a very young age.
Treatment
Practitioners believe that diet can affect the functioning of the ears, and may recommend a diet rich in vitamins A and B1. Vitamin A comes in dairy foods such as cheese and eggs, as well as liver and carrots. Vitamin B1 is found in brewer's yeast, whole meal bread, potatoes and peanuts, and is said to help repair damaged cell tissue in the ear and to strengthen the auditory nerve.
You can also soften earwax with a few drops of almond or olive oil and lemon juice, heated in a cupful of warm water to body temperature. Apply with a small dropper two or three times a day, taking care not to poke the ear with a cotton bud, as this can make wax harder to remove and may cause damage.
