Inner Ear Problems

Your inner ear is the organ that anchors you in space. It tells you where up is and where down is, whether you are standing or falling, whether the world is still or spinning. When this system is disturbed, you literally lose the ground beneath your feet. Dizziness, tinnitus, the feeling that the room is tilting around you — the inner ear is reporting: I can no longer orient you.

Medicine looks for inflammation, fluid shifts, nerve damage. And sometimes it finds something. But often enough the question remains open: Why right now? Why you?

The psychosomatic perspective asks a different question. Not: What is broken in the ear? But: What has gone off balance in your inner navigation? Your inner ear is losing its orientation — because you lost yours long ago.
