What's that theory you have about natural healing?
This is just a theory but i believe it's mostly true even though it seems little bit mystique.
It's all about your brain loosing trust to you. After the incident (if the t is caused by a trauma), brain reacts to this damage in your cochlea and a series of things happen;
1. Lack of signal or alien(corrupt) signal starts coming from cochlea
2. Immediate lowering of hearing thresholds which causes T and H at the same time. The reason is brain gets less information that's needed to be able to understand the whole signal but it's either missing or corrupt. In either case brain tries to make up for this loss and tries to recover it by post-processing and this definitely includes lowering of the hearing threshold which's probably the same as amplification of the signal.
3. This post processing was not there before the trauma. Some neurons start working hard to be able to recover this lost info as part of post processing. If the signal in a wider range is amplified (the broader band of the threshold is lowered) this causes H/T. If not, just T.
4. BTW, lowering of threshold is another protection mechanism of brain that keeps you away from loudness and noises. While you have T/H you
do not expose yourself to noises deliberately. In the beginning brain is in panic mode and gets the control from your consciousness and tries to protect you from anything and lowers the threshold all the way across a very wide frequency band. Over time this band becomes narrower which means the transition from T/H to T.
5. This lowering of the threshold is also another manifestation of hyperactivity of neurons and when you cool down these with some potassium channel blockers like RTG, the symptoms are diminished. But the control mechanism that decides to lower the threshold is still there.
6. This controller is the culprit actually and it's the trust issue that i mentioned. It'll start trusting you again if you can show that;
* You're in control of your body and protect yourself from any shit
* You'll protect your ears and avoid loudness
Once that happens, brain shall start restoring the original threshold as much as it can (there's some hearing loss in place so it'll never go back to original) and give back the control to you. As the threshold slowly rises, the T shall be quieter in time. It may be very slow or even may not happen at all depending on the amount of damage in cochlea. In my case i believe i (my conscious) convinced my brain to take good care of my body and the threshold is rising. My H is almost gone and T is quieter. I think this improvement is partly because of esketamine but anyway this is the natural healing i'm talking about.
This threshold is actually a linear function (map) of sensed db to perceived db but it's not a flat line. Brain uses it to amplify certain frequency ranges in 0KHz-maxKHz (max is 20Khz for young people) when needed. When a hearing loss occurs in some frequency, in the beginning a wide range of the threshold around the frequency that's lost is lowered (H and T). Over time this range becomes narrower, H mostly goes away.
As the last thing, i really do not care more than that about the inner workings of ear or how hearing loss/T/H occurs. Do not take the above explanation seriously, make your own study if you need. I won't fight against counter arguments about how this is wrong.
