The inner ear a complex organ
The inner ear is a highly complex, delicate and double-sided organ, which
enables us to orientate ourselves accoustically and in space. Any attenuation
of the inner ear constitutes a serious and excruciating impairment of the
affected person`s health.
The inner ear diseases
At the same time, we are living in an era that puts the inner ear under particular
stress. According to an ENT study of the university of Cologne, every
second German citizen will be suffering from an impairment of the inner
ear by the year of 2030, and the number of people throughout the age
groups, who already are acutely affected, totals several millions.
As a result, inner ear diseases are the object of a multitude of speculations,
and the quantity of therapies offered is correspondingly high: a situation
more or less confusing for all the persons concerned.
This is why it is necessary to inform as many patients as possible about the
function of our inner ear of hearing and balance, to provide new methods for
the prevention and treatment of inner ear diseases and to discuss them in
public.
