Abstract: Hearing loss and deafness is a disability affecting millions of people. Hearing aids and cochlear implants are the only available solutions to overcome this disability. They are at best sophisticated amplifiers of sound and nothing beyond it. The objective was to test if Massaging Pressure Therapy in addition to nerve enhancing Homeopathic medicines could positively benefit those suffering from sensorynueral hearing loss. The patients were from a large cross section with varied ages, symptoms and causes of hearing loss and were suffering from mild to profound hearing losses due to various congenital and acquired impairments in the middle & inner ear and diagnosed as sensory neural hearing loss Clinical trials were conducted with diagnosis based on pre audiometry tests which determined the hearing thresholds. The therapy involved massaging the temperoparietal region with a small steel sick to activate the nerve cells in the cochlea. The outcome was measured in decibel levels denoting hearing thresholds. Pre audiometry and post audiometry reports were compared to arrive at the result.

Abstract: In India head & neck cancers account for 30 -40 % of cancers at all sites. In Ahmednager district of Western India, where this study was conducted tobacco related oral cancer is very common which may be due to widespread habit of chewing tobacco. The lack of any study in this regard & alarmingly high prevalence of head & neck cancers in this part of India prompted us to take up this study. A retrospective study on prevalence of cancer in various head & neck regions like oral cavity, larynx, oesophagus, oropharynx, nose ¶nasal sinuses, thyroid gland, salivary gland, nasopharynx,facial skin, eye & ear was conducted in Dept. of Otorhinolaryngology Pravara Rural Hospital,Loni. from June 2008 to December 2011 .This study hopes to quantify & analyze the spectrum of head & neck cancers & should help as a starting point for a much needed population based study in this region . A comprehensive effort is needed to identify cause of such high prevalence & generate awareness among general masses .
