	Middle & Inner Ear Infections in Cats
		The symptoms for middle and inner ear infections are often similar to outer ear infections and include pain in the ear, head shaking, infected or bloody discharge, and scratching or pawing at the head or ear.
		Middle and inner ear infections are diagnosed with a thorough otoscopic exam and x-rays of the head.
		A ruptured eardrum or an eardrum that is discolored and bulging with fluid is an indicator of a middle and possibly inner ear infection.

	Autoimmune Inner Ear Disease
		Autoimmune inner ear disease (AIED) is an inflammatory condition of the inner ear.
		The vibrations are passed to the small bones of the middle ear, which transmit them to the hearing nerve in the inner ear.
		The inner ear is also capable of producing an autoimmune response to sensitized cells that can enter the cochlea through the circulatory system.

	Core Curriculum: Inner Ear Disease - Vertigo
		Dizziness is a common complaint and too often the symptom is attributed to an "inner ear problem." Numerous cochleovestibular, neurologic, cardiovascular, metabolic, ocular, and systemic diseases are capable of eliciting the sensation of dizziness; the ear, however, is responsible for only 50-60 percent of the known causes of dizziness.
		Vertigo is an illusion of movement and is specific for a lesion in the inner ear, vestibular nuclei, or vestibular pathways.
		Nystagmustends to be toward the involved ear and exhibits latency and fatiguability.

	* Inner ear diseases
		The low level laser therapy of inner ear diseases has been made use of in Germany since the end of the eighties (for example by Dr. Uwe Witt, Hamburg) and is also to be found in quite a few other countries (Italy, France, Scandinavia, Switzerland, Hungary, the United States of America, Russia etc.).
		Since 1991, about 800 inner ear patients have been treated with low level laser light under the medical and scientifical supervision of me. The therapy results have been (and still are) continuously documented and analyzed.

	* The inner ear
		The inner ear is a highly complex, delicate and double-sided organ, which enables us to orientate ourselves accoustically and in space.
		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.

	How The Ear Works - With Pictures (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The middle ear is a small cavity with the eardrum (tympanic membrane) on one side and the entrance to The inner ear on the other.
		Inner hairs attached to the basilar membrane convert the waves into electrical impulses that are transmitted to the brain by the auditory nerve.
		Both the inner and outer hair fibers are all connected to the auditory nerve through the basilar membrane and, depending on the nature of the movements in the cochlear fluid, different hair fibers are put into motion.

	HEARING AND BALANCE
		The middle ear is susceptible to inflammatory disease, trauma, and neoplastic disease.
		The inner ear consists of two parts: the osseous (or bony) labyrinth, a series of cavities within the petrous portion of the temporal bone, and a membranous labyrinth, which is a series of communicating sacs and ducts within the bony labyrinth.
		The tympanic membrane or ear drum is formed by the approximation of the ectodermal meatal plug and the endoderm of the tympanic cavity with intervening mesoderm.

	An Inner Ear Primer
		The membrane vibrate and the vibration is transmitted to the inner ear by mean of the three small bones, malleus (hammer), anvil and stirrup.
		From the hair cells of the inner ear, the neural stimulus is transmitted by the afferent cochlear nerve fibers to the brain stem; and from there to the various stations along the brain center up to the cortex where speech and sound are finally decoded (3, 4, 5, 6).
		Final coordination results in a constant adjustment of the muscles and limbs as well as the movement of the neck and the trunk in such a way that the eyes are able to maintain the image fixed in the retina and, thereby, the coordinating the movement of the body for maintaining the center of gravity.

	Anatomy of the Ear (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Anatomically it is divided into 4 sections: the external ear, middle ear, inner ear, and the transmission pathway to the hearing center in the brain.
		The middle ear is an air filled space within the temporal bone, and is connected with the eustachian tube, back of the nose, and with the cell of the mastoid.
		The inner ear is a capsule of very dense bone containing a fluid which communicates with the middle ear via the oval window on the stapes end, and the round window covered by the round-window membrane at the end of the unrolled cochlea.

	Ear Information on Healthline
		The second part of the outer ear, the external auditory canal, is a passageway in the temporal lobe of the skull, which leads from the outside of the head and extends inward and slightly upwards.
		The middle ear transmits sound from the outer ear to the inner ear and is the site of one of the most common infections in infants and young children, otitis media.
		Three tiny bones, the hammer (malleus), the anvil (incus), and the stirrup (stapes), conduct sound waves from the outer ear to the inner ear, which is responsible for interpreting and transmitting sound sensations and balance sensations to the brain.

	Chronic Inner Ear Infection, Complementary and Alternative Healing University
		Outer ears are the parts that stick out from both side of the head and are cartilages that are covered with skin, together with the ear canals that channel sound to the ear drums.
		The inner ears consist of vestibules and cochleae which convert vibration of the sound into electrical impulses that are transmitted to the brain.
		Usually the infections of the middle ear are being referred to as inner ear infections by the general public.

	Jackson Ear Clinic
		Both inner ears send messages from the semicircular canals, the utricle, and the saccule to the brain stem or computer part of the brain.
		Because the balance portion of the inner ear is intimately related to the hearing part, a hearing test is necessary in most types of dizziness.
		On occasion, either due to a viral infection of the inner ear or balance nerve or a decrease in the blood supply to the inner ear or balance nerve due to system blockage, one can have a very sudden spell of a spinning sensation (vertigo) with accompanying nausea and sometimes vomiting.

		Meniere’s disease is a disorder of the inner ear or labyrinth.
		In the inner ear, symptoms are thought to be caused by endolymphatic hydrops, excessive accumulation of fluid in one of the very delicate membranes - lined chambers of the labyrinth.
		In the inner ear with Meniere’s disease, small doses of dexamethasone lead to a reduction in the immune-mediated response in the endolymphatic sac and related structures.

	Inner Ear Infections
		Inner ear infections (otitis interna) or labyrinthitis, are almost always caused by viruses, and sometimes happen as a complication of a middle ear infection.
		When the inner ear is infected, fluid builds up in the vestibular labyrinth causing you to have problems with balance.
		In addition, because the inner ear can't function properly when it is infected, the signals it sends to the brain aren't quite right.

	Autoimmune Inner Ear Disease (Jan.2000)
		Injury to the cochlea may be a secondary result of an inflammatory response, but evidence is mounting that autoimmune reactions in the inner ear are the cause of cochlear damage in some cases of immune-mediated ear disease.
		Inner ear disease with hearing loss and vestibular symptoms is presumed to be a result of an immune response to the type II cartilage found in the tectorial membrane and otic capsule
		Autoimmune inner ear disease is a relatively newly described disease process of which little is known of the etiology, diagnosis and treatment.
