Since it can be difficult to keep hearing unfamiliar, long technical terms like 'sensorineural hearing loss' and 'conductive hearing loss', I will use the abbreviated terms 'conductive hearing loss' and 'sensorineural hearing loss' in this book.
'Sensory nerves' are actually difficult to improve because they require nerve regeneration.
However, if you do the 'ear massage' of tinnitus and hearing loss reset method properly, you can stop the progression a little, even if it is not groundbreaking.
'Tinnitus' is hearing loss caused by 'aging of the ear'.
In the author's experience, tinnitus and hearing loss are improved in about 90% or more with the reset method.
Most hearing loss caused by aging is mixed hearing loss, which is a mix of sensorineural and conductive hearing loss.
Therefore, if the problem in the sound transmission part is improved, the sound will be cleaner and clearer, and the quality of life will be greatly improved.

Any TV program will do, but if possible, it would be better to choose news.
Because the announcer speaks in a quiet studio with good pronunciation and enunciation, the sound is transmitted clearly.
First, before starting the tinnitus and hearing loss reset method, check the volume and write down the volume number.
I watch the same news every day, and if I can't hear it well, I turn the volume up, and if I can hear it well, I turn it down.
And check the lowest volume that you can hear well.
After starting the Tinnitus and Hearing Loss Reset Method and after one month, you will definitely see the numbers go down.
If your hearing loss is quite advanced, it will take time, but you will be able to feel some recovery.

If your jaw is clicking, it's because you're opening your mouth too wide.
If done incorrectly, it can cause temporomandibular joint disease.
It's better to do it in the evening than in the morning.
In the morning, most of your joints are stiff because they are still less awake.
In people with hearing loss, the opening of the Eustachian tube is stiff.
It is not effective for such a person to do the 'Ao Ao' vocalization method in the morning to relieve stiff joints.
Especially in winter, it is best to do it while taking a bath or shower.
In winter, everyone's Eustachian tube openings become stiff, so it is good to take a bath or shower to loosen the muscles around the eyes and then do the 'Ao Ao' vocalization method.
If you do it while your muscles are relaxed, you can also prevent temporomandibular joint disease.
Also, when the surrounding muscles are relaxed, the Eustachian tube opens better.
Even if your nose is blocked, the Eustachian tube does not open well.
It is best to do the 'Ao Ao' sound method right after a bath or shower, as bathing or showering warms the mucous membranes in your ears and allows air to pass through better.

When people have their ears emptied, air leaks out from both corners of their eyes.
This phenomenon occurs when the Eustachian tube is closed, allowing air to enter the eye instead of the eardrum.
The fact that the nasal passages and tear ducts are much thinner than the Eustachian tube is evidence that the Eustachian tube is closed.
People like this have no choice but to practice the 'Ao Ao' vocalization method in the evening to gradually widen their Eustachian tubes.
Even people with laryngeal or laryngeal tumors will have air drained into their eyes when they have their ears drained.
Therefore, if you have had your ears removed and air goes into your eyes, please go to an ENT clinic and get an endoscopic examination of your nose.
The test also looks for tumors or inflammation.

As we age, our Eustachian tubes become stiffer.
It is known that women who have more body fat are firmer than men.
If the Eustachian tube is stiff and cannot move, the Eustachian tube needs to be moved.
In ENT, a narrowed Eustachian tube is widened with ventilation treatment, and if it is too wide, it is adjusted to return to its normal position.
In patients with conductive hearing loss, the eardrum is misaligned, but with treatment it can return to its normal position.
If you visit the clinic three times a week, you can dilate the mucosa before it contracts.
So, ENT doctors tell their hearing-impaired patients, "Come in two to three times a week."
Ear drum massage, performed in ENT clinics, is a treatment that involves inserting an instrument into the ear to create vibrations and move the eardrum.
The principle is the same as 'ventilation therapy' in that it moves the eardrum, but the difference is that ventilation therapy is approached through the nose, while eardrum massage is approached from outside the ear.

When I first visited the hospital, my hearing loss was already severe enough to qualify for hearing aids from the government.
So I immediately filled out the hearing aid application form.
After wearing a hearing aid, we decided to treat hearing loss with tinnitus and hearing loss reset methods.
However, Mr. A did not wear a hearing aid.
Since I already had the disability of being 'invisible', I just accepted the state of being 'inaudible' and had no intention of getting treatment.
Because he was stubborn, he didn't even try to change his mind.
Then one day, I discovered something life-threatening in Mr. A's ears, nose, and throat.
I immediately wrote a letter of introduction and asked Mr. A to get examined at a large hospital, but he showed no interest in this either.
Of course, I didn't make a reservation.
I was so angry that I screamed.
"It's about your own body, so why are you so refusing? If you don't wear a hearing aid, you could get hit by a car and die on the street! Don't your ears also function as your eyes?" Startled by my harsh tone, Mr. A said quietly, "Teacher, you're scary."
Since that day, Mr. A has been wearing a hearing aid and has also started doing the 'yawning ear air removal method' and the 'ear massage method', although he sometimes forgets.

People with poor hearing sometimes give strange answers.
Even though you can't hear them properly, you nod as if you understand everything the salesperson is saying, and end up buying something you don't want.
Sometimes you get scammed if you answer even though you can't hear well.
There was an 82-year-old patient who was estranged from his family due to hearing loss.
I was lonely because I had no one to talk to, but then a door-to-door salesperson came to my house.
He said that he didn't want to be hated by the salesperson he was talking to after a long time, so he couldn't hear well and didn't understand, but he gave an answer that the salesperson would like.
At that stage, the family noticed something was wrong and brought him to my hospital, thinking that he might have severe hearing loss.
This is what happens when the core of communication is not in place, making it impossible to communicate properly.

Aging occurs in various parts of the body, but all parts decline gradually, so we gradually become accustomed to the discomforts that come with aging.
Most people go to an ophthalmologist when their eyesight declines and get cataract surgery.
However, even when hearing is impaired, few people visit an ENT clinic for consultation.
Both eyes and ears are precious sensory organs, so why are they treated so differently? Those who "somehow notice" their gradual decline and discomfort tend to "somehow become accustomed to it."
In reality, the quality of life is quite poor, but people give up, saying, “It’s because I’m old.”
Hearing loss usually begins in the 50s, and symptoms begin to appear in earnest after the 60s, causing concern.
So, most cases of hearing loss begin in the 50s, but patients come to the ENT clinic in their mid-60s.
It's such a shame.

I studied Western medicine and opened a hospital.
But I am also a 'traditional Korean medicine doctor'.
Oriental medicine has its own unique advantages.
Actually, this happened when I was working at a university hospital.
Many patients were hospitalized for about a week after surgery and were unable to move their bodies due to lack of physical strength even after the wounds had healed.
If you prescribe herbal medicine to such patients, their physical strength will gradually recover.
That's when I truly felt the effectiveness of herbal medicine.

You may have also experienced your body becoming warm after eating ginger.
There are aspects of Oriental medicine that can only be understood through practice.

The 'hearing nerve' is a consumable.
Nerves wear out the more you use them, so let your overworked ears rest and reset.
For example, don't listen to music with headphones after a remote meeting.
Please give your ear nerves a rest.
If you've been listening to classical music for two hours or watching a drama for two hours, take a break and rest your ears in a quiet place.
These 'brief' breaks make a noticeable difference in ear fatigue.
Avoid listening to music loudly before going to bed, especially after dinner, as your ear nerves are tired.
On the contrary, I hope you enjoy your quiet break.
Another cause of ear damage is 'noise', but 'lack of blood flow' is also one of the causes.
Blood flow is important because it carries nutrients that reset tired cells.
If blood flow is poor, the auditory nerve cells do not reset and only become more and more worn out.
Warming your ears or massaging them while showering or bathing in the evening can help rest tired ears.
