There was a mother who replied to her son's question. Beside her mother was a table on which he saw what a minor miracle was. She placed her hearing aid on the table. It was the first time in 15 years of using a hearing aid that his mother heard his voice without any necessary assistance.
Four thin needles were inserted on the mother's jaw and neck near the ears as they were inside a cubicle in an acupuncture center at this particular time. On the medical examining table, she was sporting a look of surprise. For her, there was nothing to worry about. On the table was her hearing aid which came as a surprise because those who spoke did not raise their voices.
From NY they went all the way to Washington after reading about the center in a local newspaper, the story was about how they used acupuncture to treat nerve deafness with the Chinese method using fine needles inserted into the body. Most of the time, acupuncture is ideal for relieving pain but it is used to cure deafness here.
If a condition is not nerve deafness then the word cure is not to be used. There are audiometer results provided before and after treatment. Nerve deafness is the only condition curable with acupuncture and in a population of people with hearing loss 35 to 40 percent develops this. Other causes such as diseases, punctured ear drums, and the like result to hearing loss that his cannot cure.
During a family trip to Argentina having his entire family undergo the procedure sparked his interest in Acupuncture, the doctor is careful not to make any inflated claims with regard to the method to any of his patients. Eight treatments should be accomplished for an improvement of 75 to 80 percent. When people grow older, improvement slightly decreases. 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.
It took some waiting for the tenth treatment of the US deputy undersecretary of labor for legislative affairs with other patients undergoing their own treatments inside. From this young Montanan came the precise and unemotional reports given to the Administration tackling the mood of Congress as well as the chances for passage of legislation affecting the Labor Department. Hard of hearing is his left ear due to a virus attack in 1968. His hearing was not expected to be regained when the doctors diagnosed him of nerve deafness. A problem like his could not even be solved with hearing aids.
Listening to people by shifting them to speak near his right ear became his form of adapting to the situation which was deemed permanent. There were times when his hearing loss proved to be much of a hassle like in hunting and he would always fear a loss of hearing in the other ear. When he read of the acupuncture center opening, he didn't believe in it. A cure as simple as what they promise is unbelievable. Anyways he opted to try acupuncture out and his initial audiogram reading came out registering complete deafness in his left ear.
Due to dreading needles, after a few were inserted in him his initial reaction was to back out of the entire treatment. What happened was the audiogram machine began to beep. Regaining 70 percent of his hearing after nine treatments, he vows to keep getting treated as long as further improvement can be seen.
