A Mother And Some Acupuncture Needles

A mother answered when her son asked her a question

. On the table by his mother gave him quite a shock for it was a miracle. His mother's hearing aid was there. After using the aid for 15 years, this was the first time that she did not need any help to hear the voice of her son.

Mother and her son were in one of the cubicles of an acupuncture center and she had just had four thin needles inserted on each side of her jaw and neck near the ears. On the medical examining table, she was sporting a look of surprise. Nothing was the matter for the mother. While her hearing aid lay on the table, those who spoke without raising their voices thought she was wearing it.

Washington was where the center is located and so the duo went all the way from NY after seeing a story in the local paper about how acupuncture, a Chinese method of using fine needles in the body, is used to treat nerve deafness. Aside from its role as a pain reliever, acupuncture also serves to be a cure for deafness issues.

In this case, the term cure is only meant to be used with nerve deafness. For treatment, audiometer results before and after can be seen. Nerve deafness is the only condition curable with acupuncture and in a population of people with hearing loss 35 to 40 percent develops this. No benefit can be gained from this by a person with hearing loss that is due to diseases or punctured ear drums.

All of the members of his family underwent acupuncture in Argentina and this is where the doctor's interest began, and he takes caution in giving patients exaggerated claims about the procedure. A person's condition can improve from 75 to 80 percent after eight treatments. A decrease in improvement can be seen with older people. One hundred percent of their hearing regained is possible for 7 to 12 year olds. Boosting the effects of the procedure is possible when people get more treatments afterwards.

While patients underwent their treatments, the US deputy undersecretary of labor for legislative affairs waited outside for his tenth treatment. A young Montanan that he is, his job is to provide precise and unemotional reports to the Administration with regard to the chances for passage of legislation affecting the Labor Department not to mention the mood of Congress. His left ear suffered a loss of hearing after a 1968 virus attack. According to him the diagnosis he was given was that of nerve deafness but there was no cure. All of the hearing aids he used were not that helpful.

Because of the doctors' conclusions, he learned to adapt by using his good right ear when engaged in conversations with other people. He regularly faces the fear of deafness in the other ear and if things are not bad enough his hearing loss also proves to be detrimental in certain activities such as hunting. Reading about the opening of the acupuncture center did nothing for him. It seemed to be just too simple to be a cure. Nevertheless he did not let acupuncture pass and got a preliminary diagnosis of total deafness in his left ear from the audiogram.

Due to dreading needles, after a few were inserted in him his initial reaction was to back out of the entire treatment. A beeping sound came from the audiogram machine. In the nine treatments that followed he regained about 70 percent of his hearing and said to keep coming as long as there is improvement.
