What is the cure for hearing loss caused due to mumps?

In Fiji, there certain people who from ancient times have the gift to heal, from touching the year for three days. This type of healing is by the use of supernatural powers but not witchcraft. I had mumps and through a Fijian lady touching my ear for three days, I was able to hear again from my left ear. When you are in Fiji, just ask a Fijian man or lady, they would probably know where a person with supernatural powers is living and you can go there and they will do it for free, however is would be courteous to give a gift afterwards.

How is hearing diagnosed?

that depends on the type of suspected hearing loss. Conductive hearing loss occurs when sound is blocked from the inner ear . Excessive earwax and fluid in the middle ear are the most common causes. A doctor can easily diagnose this problem by looking into the ear canal. Excessive wax can be removed (NEVER do this yourself). Fluid in the middle ear, usually caused by colds or allergies are treatable. This loss is temporary. Sensory-neural loss is caused by the permanent damage to nerves in the inner ear. This loss is unavoidable over our lifetime so excessive noise should be avoided.The degree of hearing loss is meaured by an audiologist, using earphones in a sound-proof booth. Depending on the loss, hearing aids may be recommended. Hearing loss is usually gradual but exposure to excessive noise can quicken the loss. Any noise loud enough to make your ears ring has caused permanent damage.
