Deafness Homeopathy Remedy
Definition:
Loss of hearing, usually in the elderly.

Degeneration, sequel to inflammation. Noise pollution.

Loss of certain notes and sounds, or a complete loss. Often worse in a noisy room or when addressed indirectly.
Treatment:
Carbo animalis; Chenopodium; Graphites; lodium; Phosphorus; Pulsatilla nigricans; Salicylicum acidum.
Carbo animalis: Patient complains it is impossible to identify from which direction the sounds come.
Chenopodium: Deafness specifically to low tones. Usually the auditory nerve is involved.
Graphites: Better with movement in a car, hears better in noisy areas. An associated eczema behind the ear is common, which oozes a sticky, honey coloured discharge.
lodium: Useful in temporary (catarrhal) deafness.
Phosphorus: Most valuable for problems in the elderly - often in a room, when there are several sounds present, or the conversation is indirect.

Salicylicum acidum: Useful in simple progressive deafness, often associated with Meniere's disease.
