Muffled hearing truly is a topic near and dear to my heart.
Anyone who has read any of my blogs, knows I’ve struggled with ear infections for 6 years.
Not until this year, have I strategized a plan to remedy this health condition for good. I am determined to find a lasting solution without using western medicine antibiotics to treat a bacterial infection that will only grow into a superbug with repeated antibiotic use.
Five years ago, I used antibiotics for this condition. And, it appears the bacteria has only grown stronger since deep diving into those unrealistic antibiotic solutions.
I’ve done tons of research over the last several months, and though I’m not an expert on ear infections, I do believe I know more than most doctors about how to actually heal the root cause.
But I won’t pretend that healing is going to happen overnight.
Unless, of course, you believe in miracles.
Luke 18:27 27 Jesus replied, “What is impossible with man is possible with God.”
While the Asea gel that I reported using in my blog on May 7, does offer significant relief for itching, scaling, and fluid, and it even made all ear canal issues go away for a time, I can’t report that it solved the root cause. Asea alleviated discomfort while the active infection was in progress, and got the infection stabilized.
This will be a short blog post, since I recently wrote a blog about ear infection hearing loss.
I just wanted to update you on my latest findings.
On July 14, I went to urgent care, feeling a momentary surge of fear that I may lose my hearing.
While prayer is paramount to my healing, I will openly admit that my faith was tested on July 14 and I thought it might be best to do the unthinkable, ANTIBIOTICS.
I prayed in the waiting room for the strength to overcome my fear.
While at urgent care, I insisted they take a swab of the fluid, even though they didn’t think there was enough fluid to swab. Believe me, there was plenty, I was drowning in ear fluid. I don't think they wanted to be burdened with this extra step in care.
I needed to know exactly what I was dealing with in order to move forward. Was it viral? Was it bacterial? Was it psoriasis? Eczema? Was it otitis media? Otitis externa? MRSA?
They were perfectly fine offering me a standard protocol of antibiotics.
I walked away with Zyrtek for allergies, steroidal ear drops for itching and inflammation, and the Amoxycillin antibiotic to kill the bacteria.
I felt depleted, as if I was giving up the fight. I knew that within two days, all my issues would be temporarily relieved and I could resume all activities as normal. The depression over the unknown invader would lift, and I would hear normally again.
All it would take is two tiny tablets per day for 10 days.
With continued prayer, I chose not to take the antibiotics, and instead, decided to hop on the tight rope of solutions that are needed to actually heal this condition both internally and externally.
Once receiving the lab results from Urgent Care, I learned that I have abnormal growth of the staphylococcus aureus bacteria and the proteus mirabilis bacteria.
And get this! Once urgent care got the lab results back, they changed their mind about the amoxycillin they prescribed, and they offered me another antibiotic to pick up at CVS.
In other words, had I started taking the antibiotics, I would have been 5 days in on the amoxycillin once they realized, "ooops, we need to give you another antibiotic now."
"OOOKKK. Now I really need to figure out what to do with this staph infection!" I thought to myself.
Well, it turns out, when you know what you are dealing with, the research for the solution is much easier.
While I am treating a viral condition of the Epstein Barr virus, to heal the root cause for muffled hearing internally, I am also happy to announce that it appears I have found a solution for the bacterial infection of the ear.
I’d like to share my protocol for drying up the fluid in the ears and changing the muffled hearing condition. This protocol should be used when dealing with an active infection and you do not want to use antibiotics. For the root internal cause, please read some of my other blogs.

Potatoes: steamed without oils.
Winter squash: baby butternut is what I am using.
What to Avoid to Heal Muffled Hearing?
Eggs
Dairy
Pork
Gluten
Corn
Canola Oil
Processed Foods
Soy
Alcohol
Healing will happen faster if you avoid fatty meats and eat plant based while healing an infection.
Use this protocol for seven days. Continue to use it for 3 additional days, even after the ears have dried up, and your muffled hearing has been restored.
It may take more time on this protocol, depending on how chronic the condition is, until the internal viral condition is handled. The virus and the bacteria go hand in hand, since bacteria is a cofactor to many viral issues.
Conclusion
I just wanted to encourage you and encourage myself by writing this blog to keep up the good fight to stand up for your health by finding natural remedies to chronic conditions.
Our medical system, unfortunately, has not any idea how to treat chronic illness, so we must learn for ourselves. We must become our own doctors, and self heal.
Keep being the healing warrior that you are!
Peace!
Thank you so much for being vulnerable with your ear infection. Praying for you always
Thank you for recognizing the humility in the learning curve. If I had all the answers, I suppose I’d have another name.
Great information once again to all those that keep turning up the volume of their I-Pods. Much like taking antibiotics, it takes away the immediate evidence, but does not deal with the root cause. It is always better to permit the good bacteria to stay, but increase one’s core immunity to combat viruses, and bacteria that are the cause of the issues in the first place. Keep fighting the good fight, and transforming what people are paradigmed to depend upon! Love the blog SLB.!!
