In the adult world, in industrial workplaces, noise protection is mandatory from 80 dB. The consequences of continuous noise are: Even students with only a slight hearing loss already have lower grades in math and languages.

The authors of the study claim: “Noise pollution has increased significantly in recent years. Minimizing noise pollution in daily life is therefore urgently needed. Education and prevention of noise exposure and its harms would have to become the primary goals of health-conscious pedagogy.

Lutz Wilden, MD, comments: We are glad that this data and the resulting conclusions are being discussed publicly. This is entirely in line with our long-standing work on prophylaxis, therapy and self-help for hearing impairment.

The hearing organs no longer have a chance to regenerate in an environment dominated by noise. Although hearing cells, like other nerve cells, cannot renew themselves by cell division, this is precisely why they are naturally endowed with a strong individual regenerative power,” says Dr. Wilden. He personally recommends:

If you shield your hearing with earplugs for several hours, you will notice that you perceive ambient noise more clearly afterwards – in other words, you hear better.

Dr.Wilden also advocates the increased use of laser light in therapy. Since the 1960s, scientists worldwide have been researching the effects of laser light on body cells. Laser therapists believe that targeted laser light triggers increased energy production in the mitochondria, the powerhouses of the cell, which allows the cell to significantly increase its own regeneration. In Dr. Wilden’s experience, this process can not only promote improvements in hearing, but also help with hearing loss, balance disorders and tinnitus. In conventional medicine in Germany, however, this complementary treatment method is still controversially discussed.

The supporters of the therapy refer however to numerous patient reports and many scientific publications, according to which with the laser treatment, conventionally treated patients could be helped considerably. Laser therapy can additionally stimulate the auditory cells to regenerate themselves, Dr. Wilden says. Many years of practice have shown that with just a few sessions with the painless laser therapy method, which has no side effects, it can improve hearing by 20% or more.

Therefore, the procedure can be used for children without any problems. Dr. Wilden therefore appeals to parents: If your child has been diagnosed, or is in the process of being diagnosed, with a hearing disorder, the gentle and highly effective laser procedure should also be considered before choosing a therapy, especially for children.

Dr. Wilden recommends: All parents should use our Dr. Wilden Home Ear Laser, in parallel with their child.
