Brief Answer:
Hi

Detailed Answer:
Dear

Thanks for contacting Ayurveda with your health query and before opting for effective line of management from Ayurveda perspective let me know about following concerns so that prescribed Regime can be initiated

1. because it is bilateral and associated with NF (II), thus is a genetic disorder [Acoustic Neuroma], moreover being SN implies involvement of Inner ear, and cranial nerve VIII [vestibulo cochlear].
2. are there any pressure symptoms because of the location of tumor [it can interfere with the trigeminal nerve, causing facial numbness. and can also press on the facial nerve causing facial weakness or paralysis on the side of the tumor.??
3..apart from SN [sensorineural] hearing loss are there any associated symptoms like: tinnitus (ringing in the ear),and dizziness or loss of balance.?? do you experience visual problems also?
4. what medicines are/were you taking in Allopathy [duration and dose], so that any drug-drug interaction with Ayurveda herbs can be ruled out. [please specify]
5. are you using any hearing aids, to overcome sensorineural hearing loss. or any cochlear implants??
6. please let me know about the concerns raised so that Ayurveda treatment can be incorporated.
7. avoid caffeine,nicotine, or cocaine excess talking, head bath, excess exercise and sexual intercourse, avoid professional activities which involve high frequency sounds, dry fruits and bitter and astringent food.

PS
. Mainstay of treatment will be to help regenerate the auditory nerve, inner ear connected to the auditory nerve, and to strengthen the hearing centre in the brain and usually a time period of 5-6 months is required [do let me know the severity of nerve damage,suggested by your doctor or by investigations]

Detailed Answer:
Dear
Thanks for reverting back with your clarifications

1. avoid garlic,onion,potato,cauliflower,brinjal,masoor dal,milk,curd,buttermilk, coffee,tea,sweets,sweet fruits,nonveg,cashewnuts,almonds,peas,cool drinks, fish,eggs,alcohols,avoid excess of physical/mental exertion.
2. Daily eat 300 gms of uncooked cucumber OR 60 gms of uncooked bitter gourd or 300 gms of black grapes containing seeds.
3. Daily eat 20 gms of ginger uncooked, you can eat rice items,wheat items, ragi balls, jowar items of food.Don’t take ragi malt.
4. You can take daily oranges, pomegranates, watermelons, pineapple.
5. Since it is a genetic as well a vata disorder thus treatment will focus on Vata balancing therapies and herbs along with Rasayan [Immunomodulation] Chikitsa i.e. to strengthen the Immune system, and my successful prescription in such cases are:
i. Rasayan with Ghee intake [sariva vati/ sariva chooran]
ii. XXXXXXX vati with juice of amla morning/evening
iii. Atis+hing+saunf+dalchini+sarjikshar+kali mirch each 12-12 gm
Sirka (vinegar): 380gm, til (sesame) oil 360gm and after making it with due care, you can use it as ear drops [karan pooran] in both ears [if you find any difficulty in making the same, kindly do let me know because we are making this effective formulation in our pharmacy and getting encouraging results [feedback from the patients.] along with simultaneous use of anti oxidants.
iv. Putting drops of jaitun tail [olive oil] or sesame oil in ears is effective for tinnitus,hearing loss.

PS
. Because it is a tumor, thus knowing our limitations it is requested from your side to kindly consult your allopathic doctor.
. The efficacy of any system of Medicine will depend on a critical number of surviving auditory neurons [since this is Nature Law that once the auditory cells are damaged [unlike birds and fish], they cannot regenerate naturally i.e. why they are asking for Surgery.
. Ashwagandha,Jatamansi,Dashmool,Rasna are considered to release serotonin [sleep inducing hormone] and Brihat vaat chintmani ras [very effective] are the useful prescription herbs/medicine, since Vaat is controlled by Oil thus use either with cotton bud or more effectively as “karan pooran”.
. If you want to go further with the treatment, we can courier you the medicines [at your discretion]
