Treatment of Hearing Loss in UCTC

People receive the majority of information about the world through sounds. Sometimes, until a person begins to lose hearing, he does not fully realize how much joy he gets from the voices of close people, the chords of his favorite songs, the sound of wind or the rustle of waves. All these sounds, filling our world and making it beautiful are arguments for the fact that hearing loss needs to be treated.

Statistics show that about 15 children out of hundreds in the modern world suffer from hearing loss, including acquired sensorineural hearing loss. It is clear that with age, the number of people suffering from hearing loss increases.

Often people refuse to treat hearing loss at the mild stage thinking that the disease is not fatal and does not even seriously interfere with life. People forget about the fact that this disease deprives of the opportunity to get a full sense of the beauty of the world and makes it difficult to communicate with people in their lives.

Another common mistake is the opinion that an elderly person who has lost his hearing does not need treatment. If your diagnosis is a hearing loss caused by age-related changes, then the treatment of hearing loss in UCTC is the best way to start a new life stage. Return your hearing to enjoy walking, going to the theater and cinema, talking with children and listening grandchildren’s laughing.

In case of children, hearing loss leads to a significant slowdown and even the termination of speech skills development, followed by poor social adaptation of the child, low intellectual development and poor performance at school.

In the process of hearing loss treatment in UCTC considerable attention is paid to the search for the cause of the disease, which is accompanied by a thorough examination of the patient: audiogram, tympanometry, CT of temporal bones, MRI of the brain and auditory nerves, MR angiography, ultrasound of head and neck vessels, auditory evoked potentials, TOMATIS diagnostics, tests for bacteria and viruses (in our PCR laboratory).

The most common diagnosed causes that contribute to the development of hearing problems are:

• hereditary diseases

• acoustic trauma;

• cholesteatoma;

• intrauterine infection of the fetus;

• prematurity;

• trauma to the ear and temporal bones;

• consequence of brain injuries;

• side effects of certain drugs;

• poisoning by harmful substances during work;

• infections of the middle and inner ear as well as the vestibulo-cochlear nerve;

• some types of tumors;

• otosclerosis;

• problems with the operation of the auditory ossicles.

The treatment of hearing loss in UCTC involves not only the deafness itself, but also treating of the cause that led to decrease in hearing or aggravates it.

The main task of the treatment, in case of the damage of sensitive cells of the inner ear (cochlear fibrofit) is their regeneration by the introduction of stem progenitor cells.

Excellent results in UCTC are achieved by applying a comprehensive treatment combining standard medicine treatment with the methods of treatment with preparations based on fetal stem cells that have undergone primary differentiation and are precursor cells for cochlear cells.

Our researches have shown that transplanted fetal stem cells have the ability to migrate from the place of injection to the damaged area. Due to the fact that fetal stem cells do not have a graft-versus-host reaction, during their multiplying the process of protein biosynthesis occurs, programmed by the patient's genome (gene expression), typical for cochlear cells. The tissue-specific differentiation of fetal stem cells into cochlear fibrofit cells occurs.

It is safe to say, that the treatment of hearing loss in the Unique Cell Treatment Clinic by the method of Professor Smikodub, achieves outstanding results that are unattainable by other known treatment methods. 80% of patients of different age groups notice improvements - hearing, diction, increased audibility of sounds at a greater distance, opening of many new opportunities for receiving and transmitting of information. In many cases the treatment is as effective as patient become completely socialized in the surrounding society and stops to notice a decrease in hearing.

Treatment in UCTC with fetal stem cells is minimally invasive. The patient tolerates the treatment easily and feels comfortable. In most cases, the duration of treatment for hearing loss in UCTC is 3 days.
