Music for training the bass area for patients with sudden hearing loss (right ear) | Music for Sudden Hearing Loss in Right Ear
Today is a special music.. My mother suddenly came across a disease called sudden hearing loss, so I can't hear the sound, but she is waiting for recovery after treatment at the hospital. Fortunately, there has been some improvement recently.
This disease is a disease whose cause is not specifically identified even in modern medicine...
In hospitals, there is no specific treatment method other than steroids or hyperbaric oxygen therapy, and a hearing aid or cochlear implant is required later.
In the meantime, I found a paper on Constrain-induced therapy using music. This therapy was originally used for motor rehabilitation in stroke patients, but it was applied to patients with sudden hearing loss.
In patients with sudden hearing loss, a study was conducted by dividing a group that gave music therapy + steroids, and just steroids, but the results show that the group who gave music therapy and steroids had a high recovery rate.

The method in the paper was to close the ear plugs to prevent sound from entering the ear, and to listen to classical music for 6 hours a day using headphones.
If only one ear is deaf, you naturally hear the sound using only the normal ear.If that happens, the function of the part responsible for the sound of the cerebral cortex of the deaf side may be attenuated, making it difficult to hear the sound well even when the ear returns.This method The effect of is that it maintains the function of the cerebral cortex, and also, when stimulating the hearing-impaired ear using music, the cells in that part are stimulated and can have a positive effect on recovery.
I wanted to give my mom a little help with music, so I made this video. It was said that the bass tone was difficult to hear in the right ear, so the mix was adjusted to stimulate the bass tone in the right ear. There is not yet an exact instruction on how to use any music, and the paper states that classical music with varying ranges was used. And listening to music is said to be enjoyable, so I picked it as my mother's favorite blood song. Please note that the sound from the right and left is different, so when you put on the headphones, you need to separate L and R. In addition, the low-pitched tone of the mobile phone is cut, so the sound is often out through the mobile phone speaker, so if you listen through the mobile phone speaker, you can feel as if you cannot hear it.
I post it because it would be nice to share it with people suffering from the same symptoms.
