Through hearing we are connected with everything that surrounds us. Yet millions of people, young and old, suffer from hearing loss, which disrupts this special connection not only with our surroundings but also with our friends, loved ones, and coworkers. As Anton Stucki reveals, onset hearing loss as well as other conditions of the ear canal, such as tinnitus, industrial hearing loss, and vertigo, are not part of our normal physiological aging process. The brain is naturally able to compensate for hearing loss, even in situations with loud background noise, yet as we age, we lose this adaptive ability.
In this step-by-step guide, Stucki explains his revolutionary hearing recovery system, complete with detailed instructions for 20 simple, practical exercises you can do at home to improve your hearing and train your senses. Drawing from physiology, biology, physics, psychology, trauma therapy, and brain research, he goes beyond the mechanical notion that damage in the ear is responsible for hearing loss and shows that hearing recovery is possible in many cases. He shares stories from people who used this method to compensate for deafness in one ear, even after multiple unsuccessful surgeries, and others who have been able to ditch their hearing aids completely as well as the positive effect restored hearing has for patients with dementia and Alzheimer’s. He explains how the program does not regenerate inner ear growth directly--the practices work by developing and training your perceptual system to be able to grasp whole meaning from incomplete or partially understood information. Thus the system also helps you establish contact with your inner self and enhances the brain’s self-regulation of all five senses.
Exploring the mind-body role of consciousness and belief on overall health, the author reveals how onset hearing loss can be a manifestation of an inner state of imbalance, driven by emotional causes and stress, and how finding the “triggering event” stored in our bodies and dissolving the trauma surrounding it can help restore your hearing. Offering a way to reconnect with the sound environment around us and enhance our inner and outer senses of perception, Stucki shows how improving your hearing can also restore balance to our overall health physically, emotionally, and mentally.

Reviews for Restore Hearing Naturally: How to Use Your Inner Resources to Bring Back Full Hearing
Anton Stucki provides practical exercises and tools that will enable you to retrain your ears to hear better and listen with joy to what is meaningful in your life. * VATSALA SPERLING, M.S., Ph.D., PDHom, CCH, RSHom, author of The Ayurvedic Isolation Diet * It's generally agreed that physical damage to the inner ear, and the resulting hearing loss, cannot be reversed. What Anton Stucki is telling readers is that the perception of sound vibrations can be improved despite physical impairments. He explains that our experience of hearing depends, not only on the mechanisms of the ear, but also on the cognitive processing of sound vibrations transmitted through those mechanisms. What we can improve, according to Stucki, is that cognitive processing. The information regarding sound and hearing which he presents is cutting edge. His explanations of how stress and trauma diminish our ability to hear are also scientifically anchored, as well directly connected to the growing field of mind/body/spirit. The theory comes first in this book, aimed at making readers believe (which Stucki says is a major key to accomplishing hearing recovery). The 20 simple yet powerful exercises in his hearing recovery system come at the end of the book. He will be the first to tell you that this is not a quick fix, just like anyone who's followed the Twelve Steps to sobriety will tell you that requires work. If you are willing to do the exercises faithfully, he promises better hearing, better balance, and possibly, a reduced risk of dementia. * JEDRZIEWSKI, InannaWorks.com * Ably translated into English for an American readership by Iren Izabella Toms, Restore Hearing Naturally: How to Use Your Inner Resources to Bring Back Full Hearing by Anton Stucki is enhanced for academia and the non-specialist general reader with the inclusion of two appendices (Directory of Exercises; Reproducible Templates), a five page listing of References, a seven page Index, and a one page listing of Books of Related Interest from Healing Arts Press. While especially and unreservedly recommended for both community and academic library Health/Medicine collections in general and Hearing Loss Treatment supplemental studies reading lists in particular, it should be noted for the personal reading lists of medical students, physicians, academia, and non-specialist general readers with an interest in the subject that Restore Hearing Naturally is also available in a digital book format (Kindle, $20.99). * Mary Cowper, Midwest Book Review *
