New study shows thyroid imbalance causes congenital deafness 9/23/2014 published in Mammalian Genome

"Study shows normal hearing fails to develop when thyroid hormone availability is insufficient as a result of a genetic mutation. www.Shutterstock.com ...A new study from Tel Aviv University shows that thyroid imbalance can lead to congenital deafness. 'Since our laboratory mainly focuses on the system of the inner ear, the study of a system such as the thyroid gland was new to us and therefore challenging,' said Dr. Amiel Dror of the Department of Human Molecular Genetics and Biochemistry at TAU’s Sackler School of Medicine. 'My curiosity as to how these two systems interact together to develop normal hearing led to this multidisciplinary study.' Together with co-author Prof. Karen B. Avraham, Dror used state-of-the-art imaging on mouse populations to study a form of congenital deafness that affects humans. The researchers tracked the inner hair cells of the cochlea (the auditory portion of the inner ear) in 2 groups — control (wild) mice and mutant (congenitally deaf) mice."

Baker, Rolland and Heidi - The Hungry Always Get Fed - A Year of Miracles - www.irismin.com
Chapter 3 Hungry for Jesus "I (Heidi) held a deaf and mute man in my arms and prayed for him to hear and speak in the name of Jesus. His tongue was immediately loosed and his ears opened up. For the first time in 15 years he spoke and heard! It was beyond beautiful...The next lady had not heard anything in 12 years. I put my fingers in her ears and commanded her ears to be opened in the name of Jesus. Her smile lit up my world as Jesus opened her deaf ears."

Walters, Kathie - God healed her deaf ear. 5/26/2009 RADIO www.sidroth.org
Walters, Kathie - Angels Watching Over You www.goodnews.netministries.org A lesson learned is that a physical "torn in the side" can be caused by a disciplining angel, rather than a demon. This was true in the Lord's attempt to teach Kathie NOT to complain. Complaining was her "blockage" or "open door" preventing her healing of deafness in one ear.

Chapter 11 Bind Devils and Loose Saints - "One of the signs of the Messiah would be His ability to exercise control over (evil) spirits that caused a person to be deaf and dumb, since a command for the spirit to reveal its name would not work because the person was (physically) deaf and could not hear. Therefore, only the Messiah could command a deaf and dumb (evil) spirit to depart from a person.
In Matthew 12:22, Christ demands a deaf and dumb (evil) spirit to leave the body of a person. Immediately, the afflicted person could both hear and speak." (Rabbis knew that evil spirits do hear & speak.)

Scripture

Matthew 9:32-33 NAB 32As they were leaving, suddenly some people brought him a mute (dumb/silent individual) who was possessed (demonized/oppressed) by a demon. 33Once the demon was expelled the mute began to speak, to the great surprise of the crowds.

Luke 1:20 "Behold, you shall be dumb and not able to speak until the day that these things shall be performed, because you did not believe my words."

Cautions

Crickets - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cicada - "Some cicadas produce sounds up to 120 dB (SPL),^[17] among the loudest of all insect-produced sounds.^[18] This is notable because the song is loud enough to cause permanent hearing loss in humans should the cicada sing just outside the listener's ear. Conversely, some small species have songs so high in pitch that the noise is inaudible to humans.^[6] Species have different mating songs, ensuring that the appropriate mate is attracted. It can be difficult to determine from which direction(s) a cicada song is coming because the low pitch carries well."
