Can Meditation Help Hearing Loss?
Can Meditation Help Hearing Loss?
Oct 17 2016In the book Altruism by Matthieu Ricard, discovering that the Vagus Nerve is an important aspect of mind body health, one sentence in particular stood out:
Anyone with a typical high tone hearing loss knows the feeling of trying to follow a conversation in difficult to hear places. It requires a massive effort and often ends with us giving up - not because we are not interested in the conversation but because it is a strain to listen.
Also learning the relationship of the Vagus Nerve to Vagus Tone which is a measure of one's breathing rate to one'e heart rate. People who's heart rate speeds up when they breathe in and slows when they breathe out have a high vegus tone which is a health benefit.
So could it be that meditation which is proven to have a beneficial effect on vegus tone also has a benefit to hearing - well it turns out there are some studies that indicate this to be the case.
Hence if you are already inclined towards yoga and meditation this may be an area of exploration for you.
Research Suggests Enhanced Auditory and Cognitive Skills for Meditators
"The above literature provides intriguing evidence relative to the positive effects of meditation on cognition and auditory skills."
"The literature also provides evidence for better temporal resolution skill and speech perception in noise in meditators compared to non-meditators."
