I've got Cochlear hair cell damage and Delta 8 maybe helped me!

Posted by danr @danr, Nov 14, 2021

Hello, friends with hearing loss. Delta 8 could be the reason my hearing just improved, and so I'm sharing this update with you.

From all the testing, my hearing loss is believed to be outer hair cell damage in my cochlea. I've been trying low sodium diet, niacin, multivitamin, omega-3, anti-inflammatory supplements, diuretics, acupuncture, craniosacral treatments, frequent cardio exercise, healthy eating, good sleep habits. Eventually, my hearing improved almost 100%. Then I went on a trip, was inside a cigar bar, got out of my habits, and my hearing went bad again. I tried everything, but no improvement for two months.

It felt like too much pressure in my cochlea. Then I added Delta 8 gummies, half of a gummy every 12 hours, and in 48 hours my hearing is nearly all better.

Nobody knows if my improvement is coincidence or caused by my efforts. But I wanted to share that Delta 8 gummies (a canniboid product) might have been what reduced the pressure and improved my hearing.

All the best,
Dan

Thanks, JK. Delta 8 gummies became popular after the 2018 federal farm bill passed, which allowed folks to make more products from hemp. Delta 8 is a legal loophole in that it meets all the laws but is basically marijuana. You can find Delta 8 at CBD stores or stores that sell a lot of vaping and e-cigarette (unhealthy) products also sell stuff like Delta 8 gummies. Online brands I have tried include Moonwlkr and http://www.EnjoyHemp.co and Ouachita Farms. And I believe there are likely low and high quality options and it will take some practice to determine the right quality and dose.

Lastly, I confirmed yesterday that my hearing loss happens when too much fluid pressure occurs in my cochlea. Anti-inflammatory activities (good diet, exercise, sleep, low stress, low salt, etc) and anti-inflammatories like Delta 8 gummies seem to maybe help my situation.

All the best,
Dan

Was it your doctor who confirmed that inflammation/high-pressure fluid in your cochlea was indeed the culprit?
Thank you for telling your story! This is the best post ever!
