1.9 PRACTICAL PROCEDURE 1.9.1 CASE 2: MS L.T., 44 YEARS OLD, ACUTE HEARING LOSS
ОглавлениеMs T. is a highly industrious woman who, together with caring for her family of five, works 46 hours a week as a speech therapist. She comes for homeopathic treatment of acute hearing loss: while out riding the previous day, she suddenly felt a loud whistling in the left ear followed by severe ear pain and acute loss of hearing. Previous illnesses include atopy, migraine, and Raynaud’s phenomenon, which had practically disappeared during homeopathic treatment with Nux vomica in increasing potency. Due to mild arterial hypertension, she has been taking an angiotensin II receptor antagonist.* The examination reveals a normal eardrum and considerable loss of hearing on the left. Otherwise there are no pathological findings. After starting the homeopathic treatment, the patient is sent to the ENT physician for an objective diagnosis. The first audiogram shows low-frequency hearing loss (125-1000 Hz, figure 2). The right ear is normal.
