Hearing Loss and Medical Astrology

Hearing loss is a primary health concern as it is seen to affect persons of all ages. This can impact daily life. Due to some problem in the internal or middle ear, a person suffers from hearing loss. Sometimes hearing loss occurs due to some grave illness or prolonged illness. Medication is essential to combat this illness.

The Outer / Middle/ Inner Ear

Outer Ear

The outer ear is composed of the visible part and the ear canal. The cup shaped pinna functions for gathering of the sound waves from the external environment and directs these waves into the ear canal.

Middle Ear

The middle ear is an air filled cavity which contains a rhythmic chain of three bones- Hammer / Anvil / Stirrup. These three bones are separated from the outer earn by the Ear Drum which is a membrane, which when stuck by the sound waves – Vibrates. Important point to note here is that middle ear is connected to the back of the nose and upper part of the throat by a narrow channel called the auditory tube – Eustachian Tube. This tube opens and closes at the throat end to equalize the pressure in the middle ear with that of the external environment and drain fluids. This equal pressure on both the sides of the eardrum becomes important.

Inner Ear

The inner ear contains a group of interconnected fluid filled chambers- the snail shaped one called cochlea. Sound waves or vibrations from the bones of the middle ear are transferred to the fluids of the cochlea. Tiny sensors or cells lining here converts these vibrations into electrical impulses that are transmitted along the auditory nerve to the brain. Other fluid filled chambers here are semicircular canal or vestibular labyrinth. Hair cells in the canals detect the motion of the fluids when we move in any direction and convert motion into electrical signals. This sensory information is necessary to maintain the sense of balance.
