Stress-related inner ear diseases

Hardly anybody realizes that our sense of hearing is in permanent action. We perceive noises even when we sleep.

When we speak about the ear, most people spontaneously think of the external ear we can see. But the human ear is more than just this visible part. It consists of the outer, middle and inner ear and is responsible for the important sensory perception of hearing. Hearing is crucial for communicating with our environment and participating in social life. Moreover, the ear helps orientation and acts as an equilibrium organ.

Diseases of the inner ear are, for instance, sudden loss of hearing and ear noises (tinnitus). People affected by a sudden loss of hearing usually report unilaterally impaired hearing or even deafness, whereas tinnitus is often a phenomenon that accompanies various diseases, but can also occur without any recognizable cause. Both disorders may be related to stress.

People suffering from these complaints may benefit by changing their lifestyle or their behavior – besides taking time out, positive thoughts and experiences, relaxation exercises, such as yoga or autogenous training as well as a healthy diet, play an important role.

In addition to drug therapy for stress-related inner ear diseases, complementary dietary management with Orthomol Audio is also possible.
