<s>[INST] Last Saturday night a week ago my left ear lost all hearing. I have had no pain, no draining. I have had a whole lot of sneezing lately. Wondering what I can do naturally to help open it back up. I have an appointment with Primary Care doctor on Wednesday, August 13th. Please help? [/INST] Are you having cough? Sometimes, mucous builds up behind the ear Chat Doctor.  If your hearing problem is due to mucous, then you must include plenty of garlic, onions, chilies and peppers to thin down mucous. Having a bowl of soup with crushed black pepper may help relieve mucous formation.  If deafness is due to build up of plaque in tiny blood vessels that supply blood to the ears, then reducing intake of fats especially saturated fats like butter, margarine, ghee, milk fat, red meat will be helpful. Hope this answers your query. </s>
