Course of disease
The course of the disease, as well as the prognosis, is strongly dependent on the disease underlying the circulatory disorder. Chronic circulatory disorders usually make themselves felt insidiously and do not necessarily lead to the first symptoms in the ear. Gradually, more and more parts of the body are affected by the circulatory disorder, which means that the symptoms become more numerous. An isolated circulatory disorder of the ear without underlying disease, however, can occur very suddenly.
Therapy
In most cases, the cause of the complaints cannot be clearly attributed to a circulatory disorder in the inner ear. There is no clear therapy recommendation for patients who experience sudden hearing loss. If there are indications that a circulatory disorder is the cause of the complaints, it should be treated and eliminated as well as possible.
This includes, for example, normalizing blood pressure and adjusting blood values. If there are injuries in the spinal column head area, these should be treated and it should be discussed whether these are responsible for the symptoms. Despite conspicuous laboratory values, other causes can also be behind the complaints, which is why comprehensive therapy is necessary.
Steroids can be prescribed, which in some cases can improve the symptoms. These drugs can be administered either systemically or locally with an injection. Especially when the tinnitus is in the forefront of the symptoms, local anesthetics are increasingly used, which can be administered through the vein.
If there is only a slight hearing loss, the symptoms can also disappear on their own. Infusions for circulatory disorders of the ear are used rather for symptomatic therapy than to treat the cause of the circulatory disorder. Especially when the organ of balance is affected and dizzy spells occur, the circulation can be stabilized with infusions.
The reason for short-term circulatory disorders can also be a lack or excess of certain electrolytes (blood salts). These can be carefully compensated by infusions. The homeopathic remedies used for circulatory disorders in the ear should be selected according to the cause of the circulatory disorder.
For example, if the cause is arteriosclerosis, i.e. the calcification of the blood vessels, Allium ursinum and Ammi visnaga can be used.With inflammatory causes such as autoimmune vascular diseases, the body attacks its own vascular cells, which can destroy or block the vessels, endangering the blood flow. In this case, essential oils from coniferous trees such as silver fir or spruce can be used. In principle, the ear, nose and throat (ENT) physician is responsible for diseases of the ear. However, a circulatory disorder of the ear usually has to be treated in an interdisciplinary way, i.e. from several different disciplines:
