Parsing The Functional Fields Of Auditory Cortex...

High intensity noise causes hearing loss..

Blaring volume causes deafness by destroying sound-responsive hair cells, but it's unclear how these auditory assaults affect the brain's auditory system... 

Neuroscientists are still figuring out the extent of spatial organization of

Hearing loss.. Tinnitus.. Auditory Processing....

The relationship of the kidneys to the ear is established in the kidney’s elimination of harmful excesses in the blood. Weak, damaged or reduced functioning by loop diuretics will result in less filtering and a build up of chemical concentrations in the blood stream. This combined with the ability of some chemicals to target fluid in the balance/auditory mechanism will result in additional risk and/or impairment.

Human Health is not simply A Fish Story...

Yes.. Fish are what they eat and they are exposed to in our polluted waters in a variety of chemicals , microbes, metals and toxins. We humans higher up in the tradtional food chain , have been consumeing theses contaminates with fish al the while that we have been creating many of the unhealthy environments conditions placeing us--- and fish---- at risk.

Talk about Truely Fishy Behavior.........

More recently , public concerns about cancer -causeing chemicals within the fish--- expecially dioxins and polychlorinate biphenyls ( or PCB's )---

has yielded largely to concerns about methylmercury , an organic form of mercury , bioacumulates within fish, and it is known to cause Neurological Disease in humans..

Because methylmercury can cross the placenta , more strigent limatations on fish intake are advised for pegnant women......

http://www.generationrescue.org/mercury_myths6.html 

I wonder besides the effects in the brain from mercury..

I wonder if it also just penitrates the Neuronal in the ears...

As it can and does cause hearing loss and deafness and sound sensitivity abnormalitys....so it has to do with something with the ears in harm..

Just the whole auditory system in effect as neurons are very important and like their everywhere...

Auditory System...

Hearing Preservation WSU Researchers investigate the inner ear...

By Amy Dicresce..

Hearing Loss is a common problem but there is not a singular common cause..

Genetics, Drug Toxicity, Trauma, Ageing and Noise exposure all are factors that can contribute to hearing loss..

And this is only a part of what Dr Drescher is working on.. To read the whole thing is on that site...

Dr Dennis Drescher wrote...

In fact, in studying glutamate, which is thought to be the hair cell's major afferent transmitter or molecule which launches the sound signal from the ear to the auditory nerve and brain, Dr. Drescher has uncovered evidence for other transmitters. He noted that glutamate blockers can not completely inhibit the neural activity of hearing and balance, which meant that something other than glutamate was at work. It turned out that there were additional hair cell transmitters that act at very low concentrations. He and co-principal investigator Dr. Marian Drescher are now working to identify the chemical structures of these unnamed transmitters.

Dr. Drescher's research also addresses the afferent nerves, which receive auditory input, and the efferent nerves, which send signals from the brain to the inner ear to help process sounds. Such signals from the efferent nerves allow the listener to detect where the sound originated and to differentiate between meaningful sound and background noise. One of the efferent transmitters is acetylcholine, and Dr. Drescher is studying a new acetylcholine receptor, called alpha-9, which is used by the auditory and olfactory systems, but is not present elsewhere in the body.

Dr Marion Drescher allso wrote her findings on that site...

Dr Drescher wrote....

"An understanding of hair cell mechanosensory transduction and hair cell transmission at the molecular level is integral to rational treatment and eventual prevention of a variety of auditory and vestibular disorders," said Dr. Drescher. 

And the research of Dr Finlayson...

Neurons changes in the CNS.. Hearing Changes...

Dr Finlayson wrote and you can read his whole study report on that site but he wrote..

Neurons in the superior olivary complex (SOC), such as the lateral superior olivary nucleus (LSO), encode the differences in the timing and intensity of sound arriving at our ears. These neurons send information to IC neurons. Neurons in the LSO respond to sound stimuli with a precise firing pattern ("chopper response") which can encode the location and onset timing of a sound. 

According to Dr. Finlayson, the pattern of SOC neuron responses may be affected in aging, and contribute to changes seen in the IC. But good news comes from Dr. Finlayson's studies, which provide preliminary evidence that the auditory system can be modulated and adapted.

Dr Crawfords research....

Dr Crawford wrote...

Audiologists have traditionally been trained to test people's hearing; but Dr. Margie Crawford feels a greater responsibility to her patients. "I am trying to identify specific populations who are at high risk for hearing loss," she said. "Rather than simply confirm that people have hearing loss, I want to help prevent it and educate those who are most susceptible." 

And Dr Kaltenbach's research...

Agonists of the amino acid GABA... Inhibit Neural Activity..

Dr Kaltenback wrote...

For more than 10 years, Dr. Kaltenbach had been studying tinnitus, the ringing sensation that affects millions of Americans after intense sound exposure, certain drug treatments, or injuries to the ears. Using rodent models, his laboratory has provided evidence that the cochlear nucleus is critically involved.

His laboratory group has been able to show physiological evidence of neural hyperactivity in the cochlear nucleus of hamsters and rats after intense sound exposure. It is known from studies in other laboratories that animals develop tinnitus after exposure to the same sounds that cause hyperactivity in the cochlear nuclei. Currently, Dr. Kaltenbach is trying to determine the relationship that hyperactivity in the cochlear nucleus has to tinnitus.

How long will it take .. How long do we have to wait for the answer to come..

At least research is being done and it's not like they do not know what mercury and lead exposure does to the auditory system allready..

But I take what I can get.. I've been too far behind the 8 ball already because of being sick with T and H for so long... and to late in researching.... as information was slow in comeing my way..

I have an articule that I read recently in the newspaper on this...... that scientists are looking into the environmental factors.. Progress is very slow on certain ends....

I feel like they are wasting valuable time allready...

And then I wonder why ??? What changes would have to come about if they had to be made... from learning what may be..

Is that why progress is so slow in comeing ???? The costs involved but the price may be too high allready. I guess it depends who has to pay.........  

We do... But thats the cost that I don't know if they are concerned about..

What Are Neurotransmitters and . . .
How They Affect Your Life?

Just like hormones govern many chemical functions in the body, the brain's chemical functions are governed by "neurotransmitters. "

A neurotransmitter is a chemical messenger used by neurons (nerve cells) to communicate in one direction with other neurons. Communication between neurons is accomplished by the recognition of a receptor for a specific chemical messenger; picture a ball (neurotransmitter) in a cup (receptor).

The human brain is very capable of automatically manufacturing the quantity of chemicals it needs IF it is given the raw materials (nutrients from foods) to do so.
However, normal diet does not supply enough of the raw materials the brain needs to manufacture enough neurotransmitters. Additionally, stress, worry, depression, emotional ups and downs, drugs, alcohol, poor nutrition, pollution and other factors of modern life are known to deplete neurotransmitter levels.

Neurotransmitter deficiency and/or unbalance can affect your stress condition, energy, appetite, cravings, ** sleep, mood, learning ability, focus, memory, sex drive, anger, irritability, temper, addictions and many other functions of daily life.

Ending Mercury Induced Neurological Disorders...

http://www.safeminds.org/mercury/

Hi Lynn,

This is my 1st post here and I just spent some time reviewing the thread. I've researched Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (hbot) extensively. My daughter has a form of hearing loss (LVAS) that is treated outside the US with hbot.

 According to K.K. Jain's textbook on HBOT, 80% of hbot use in Germany is for restoration of hearing. I'm off to work now but had to touch base here. I'll share more later. Had this listed in my favorites, don't know why I waited so long to read it!

 Take care,

Lee

Hi Lynn,

Apparently I didn't read all the posts but there was enough to grab me: )

Now I have to tell you a little more and find out some of your experiences if I may... I also own a chamber! It's the little one, a Solace with 10L/m 02. What drew me in was a search a couple years ago for any relationship between hearing loss and mercury exposure. This thread popped up and I just logged it for later. I since found enough data to justify having a chamber on hand in case my daughters hearing in her good ear goes bad. The condition affects 1 side but she has the underlying condition in both. Theoretically she could lose the remainder due to a blow to the head or acoustic trauma. The LVAS is still a bit of a mystery to the 'experts' and I still question the role of mercury as a causal factor. I've been aware of it for some time as its role in Alzheimer's and other neurobehavioral issues. The U of Calgary video was most compelling as was David Kirby's book 'Evidence of Harm'. I followed the politics and frankly don't trust all that I'm told in the Dr's office.

I've had the chamber for a couple years but due to legal issues with my ex-wife I'm not able to use it for my daughters hearing. Her family has extremely conventional medical perspective. Her brother is a Pharmaceutical executive and when hbot goes mainstream AND is covered by insurance, then she can be treated......so it goes...

I still listen and learn all I can from parents and anyone with a clue. If you have any experience or perspective to share I would be very interested.

Hope that wasn't too much!

Take care,

Lee

Hi Lee, ((((( Smiles )))))

Oh wow.. You own a chamber.. The chamber my kids use is at the doctors

office.. So you were searching for the relationship between hearing loss..

and mercury exposure and you found enough data to justify a chamber...

There is a lot of data on what mercury does and can do to the hearing..

Thats allready well known and documented..

And in my searches I was surprised in how many sources there are in exposure to this substence...

In the water, food , air we breath , vaccinations just lots of mercury

around us that shouldn't be there in such quantity in exposure...

I've done alot of research on this and I have placed what I have found

on a few different threads on this board..

One that has went through a bad case of hyperacusis and tinnitus..

And plus haveing children with autism..

Just lead me to this road in research.. It all started with Leah in the flu

thread she posted on the board.. And I wanted to see for myself.....

What was what..

And what I had learned just blew me away..

As we have no way of knowing for sure that mercury or even lead is a factor

or contributing factor in your daughters hearing problems as you can't even

see what causes hyperacusis on an MRI in most cases..

Yet we know or suspect the causes in different theories and some are good enough to go on for H ...

It's kind of like that with this subject as well..

But so much has been found which is enough to show something is there... about this all...

As you have been aware for sometime it's role in Alzheimers and other neurobehavioral issues..

The Calgary Video and other research and just history on mercury exposure

in general..

It's compelled you as well as it has me..

It's very convinceing evidence and I believe..

more will be known and come out about this in the future..

I really do...

I do trust my doctor because I know this MD is totally researched and dedicated to helping children like mine..

She's done her homework way before and beyond me..

And I'm allready convinced and I'm way behind the 8 ball...

But I'm catching up and learning alot.. 

I'm sorry to hear about what you're going through in trying to help your daughter..

My husband was a listen to the doctor conventional hard to convince person as well..

But after all we went through and you know..

I'm very persuasive as I really did my research so he could see I wasen't just grabing words out of thin air and he was kind of awed by it all and now he's seen the light..

It wasen't easy though but but I suspect it wasen't either for the ones that

spoke out about the cause of pink disease..

Being right the whole time wasen't easy for them either and I'm sure..

They where scoffed at and laughed at in their days..

But someone had to speak out for the children..

It's just a terrible shame they had to suffer so..

and they never got reimbursed for there harm..     

But my husband can be as stubborn as they come on some issues..

and right in his way of thinking as they come too to new concepts such as this as well..

He wasen't easy to convince I had to really do my homework on this one and now he's just totally angry about it all...

So am I .. But he's with me 100 percent now... 

I think of the pink disease babies.. Have you read that thread..

http://www.websitetoolbox.com/tool/post/danmalcore/vpost?id=545765

http://www.websitetoolbox.com/tool/post/danmalcore/vpost?id=1599210

They had it real tough and it was mercury after all even though it was proved back then it was not by...

Guess who ???

And not only that .. Most of them had problems with their hearing..

And sound sensitivitys.. And we allready know that mercury exposure

can cause abnormality sound sensitivites...

I find it so interesting how it just all came together...

But about the chamber..

If your daughters hearing problem has anything to do with mercury or lead..

that in itself is not how one usually gets theses toxins out..

And the way they usually check for mercury is through testing yet..

Unless it's a recent exposure.. It may not show up but ...

It can show up when your body excruites it in urine..

That can be measured if the goal is to detoxic her from heavy metals..

With a program based on doing just that..

And not only does heavy metals effect the ears..

It allso effects the brain.. The neurons as well...

I've done alot of research on that as well...

And what that can cause...

I'll post more later..  

I've done so much research on this allready...

You need to read it all and see what you think.....

You've probably read some of this information as well before..

But there alot also on sound sensitivity and the hearing too..

That I had found...

It's interesting reading indeed as it took me alot of time and effert

to find it all...

I'll write more later on this...

But their are supplements that can help the brain as well..

Hello,

I have never posted a message before, but stumbled across this website whilst researching mercury toxicity.

I have been unwell for a number of years but the last 2-3 years have been particularly difficult for me. I have been off work for the last 8 months with CFS , digestive problems ,food intolerances,(IBS like symptoms and chronic candida), interstitial cystitis(ulcerated bladder)and many other vague symptoms . The tinnitus and hyperacusis are also troubling me every day but especially the last two months since having eight amalgam fillings removed. I decided to have my fillings removed after two years of deteriorating health despite a sugar, yeast and low carbohydrate diet. I have tried acupuncture, colonic irrigation, stress management,  a parasitic cleanse etc.

My health problems became unmanageable about 2 and a half years ago following some dental work. I had three small amalgam fillings replaced with two composite fillings and a gold crown. (i also already had eight large fillings which i had had  for 15- 25 years) After i developed flu- like symptoms,tinnitus, excess saliva and nausea,gastric discomfort and problems digesting food. The lethargy and muzzy head type symptoms were terrible and i found it very difficult to think clearly and my memory was especially bad. The bladder problems also started at this time and along with the abdominal discomfort kept me awake for hrs each night.

Various tests in November 06 showed a sensitivity to mercury and a substantial amount of mercury in my system(and i was advised to have the fillings removed as a matter of urgency),so i had the remaining eight fillings removed last month. I had to find a specialist mercury free- dentist  who carefully removed a quadrant at a time over four weeks. Ever since my first appointment i have had tinnitus and a headache( the headache isn`t terrible but like somebody pulling chewing gum out of my head.) Hyperacusisis a nuisance,the sound for instance  when i was chopping up vegetables last night was horrible, even trying to slice up mushrooms was painful.

So now i am trying to chelate the mercury and other metals out of my system. I think that it is probably going to be a slow process and i have had very little help and support from medical practitioners. I am on a DMSA regime and feeling very low and despairing sometimes.

Before i became unwell i had a very busy lifestyle working full-time, three kids, and was captain of our local tennis club(a member for 17 yrs). My husband  and i would regularly spend a summers evening cycling around the countryside, stopping at the occasional pub for a glass of wine and enjoying the fresh air. I miss my old life alot and hope that soon i can regain the energy and well- being that i used to have.

Hi Mk, ((( Smiles )))

The story you wrote above is so positive in expirence..

It gives me hope..

I feel like more people then ever theses days have been compromised

by theses heavy metals we should not even have in our bodys..

They do us no good... In the future when all dental work is composite.

They will look about on the mercury laced silver days as like in the middle ages of dental care..

Us in the future allways look back towards the past as how could they have

done something such as that.. Didn't they know better..

And if you do read the history of how it all came about..

Which you probably allready have done.. You will see..

That most of them did... know better..

Knew the downside of it..

They warned the others against doing that.. 

But they went ahead and did it anyway...

And they didn't learn from history at all even after that..

And went ahead and put it in the shots....

And the air and our lakes and I was reading an articule..

In the paper recently..

About baby boomers with all that mercury in there teeth..

That communities are afraid will end up polluting the air..

When they need to dispose of it in the way and how it may be disposed of..

At the end... Of life...

After all is said and done..

It makes you wonder if they will look back on this time in history and learn

anything from it.. I don't think so..

They didn't learn anything from history before that anyway...

That did anybody any good..

There's got to be a better way but you know..

Just look at the shape the world is in now..

I don't believe they will ever learn..

It's up to us...

Nice to see others that feel the way I do...

Sometimes just feeling this way..

can make one stick out like a sore thumb.. (((( Smiles ))))  

I went to a seminar a few years ago given by my holistic Dr (Dr. David Brownstein at the Center for Holistic Medicine) and he said that if the amount of mercury that was in an average filling were to be thrown in a lake, the Department of Environmental Quality would consider that lake to be contaminated for years.  (I can't remember if it was 5 or 15)  How in the world can they keep putting that crap in peoples mouths??!!

And then there is the whole controversy about the fluoride in our water.  I'd have to do some checking into the details, but this was another area that Dr. B said was going to come back around and bite us in the butt.   That and artificial sweeteners.  Isn't it amazing that the more we (meaning society, not us) "improve" things, the worse they are for us?

Enough of that!

Mk

Hi,

Thanks to Mk for your words of  encouragement and thanks to Lynn for the useful links.

Its amazing that when we are feeling well and taking our health for granted we don`t particularly think about all the everyday chemicals and pollutants that we constantly come into contact with.

Its only since i have become so unwell that i have started to question everything. My three children have all got significant flurosis of their teeth.  The teeth look very mottled and unattractive, where we live the water is heavily dosed with fluoride and obviously my kids used fluoride toothpaste when young. Apparently there is enough fluoride in an average size tube of toothpaste to kill a child who weighs approx 20 lbs. Thankfully its highly lunlikely that a child would ever ingest that much.

Even chemicals such as formaldehyde, are in lots of everyday things that we use everyday, such as washing-up liquid and fabric conditioner.

Where i live we don`t have access easily to organic foods and i worry about all the pesticides and chemicals such as chlorine which are used to wash the perfectly prepared vegetables we all seem to desire these days.

Most of our meat is mass produced and numerous chemicals and hormones used to encourage faster growth and numerous injections given to limit the animals risk of disease, but at what long term cost to our health.

Even the soil has lost much of its goodness compared to 50 yrs ago .For example the selenium and magnesium levels are greatly reduced. My grand parents and extended family all grew their own vegetables but nowadays very few people grow their own fruit and veg around here.

Hopefully people will begin to realise the damage we are creating for ourselves and return to using natural products etc.

I say this though knowing that i am guilty of regularly using bleach around the home , using air fresheners, numerous products which i buy each week knowing that they can`t be good for health and environment.

Since becoming unwell i have tried to alter my ways and have for instance been using a steam cleaner , and using things like bicarb of soda etc.

Hi Leah, ((((( Smiles )))))

How are you ? I just think of it alot of how I wish I never tryed

paxil... It did cause an echoing symptom in my ears but I never

heard of H back then.. plus I didn't have tinnitus either....

And the echoing did go away and I stoped talking it but you never

know what vunerability it may have caused in my ears that could

have come back to haunt me..

And it was a terrible mistake I believe..

Getting a flu shot while my ears were falling apart..

because of what's in it..

Which I had no idea about it.. at all at the time..

Now I have the whole list of whats in a

vaccine now..... and it makes me so durn mad...

I should of at least had an informed choice back then..

Of what maybe I shouldn't risk putting in my system..

while trying to heal my ears....

I think I had that right back then.. Just didn't know I had it..

But yes Cod Liver Oil.. And it's so hard today to get your fish...

With all toxins they digest and then we eat them..On top of it

all....

But my kids take the Arctic Cod Liver Oil.. Pharmaceutical grade..

Natural Triglyceride Form Molecularly Distilled..

No gluten, yeast, milk derivatives, artifical colors or flavor..

I really hope all we are doing for them will help them alot in

the long run.. Thats our goal with this....

To learn all we can and do all we can.. For them...

Thats our right as well.....

Always nice hearing from you Leah....

You've opened my mind..

With the risk of being struck by lightning...

I've always had sensory issues, but then I don't remember a time when I wasn't getting vaccines or being exposed to heavy metals.  As I've gotten older, things haven gotten worse.  And as I've gotten older, I started getting flu shots (around 1991).  If you ever read the release form for flu shots they openly warn you about thirmerosal and those having neurological disorders.  In the fall of 2002, shortly after my annual flu shot, I started having seizures.  To this day I take anti-convulsants twice a day to control them.  And my son, as I've posted earlier, is autistic.  It's hard not to see the connection, even though so many insist the evidence to support it just isn't there.
