    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endolymphatic_hydrops

    Endolymphatic hydrops is a disorder of the inner ear. It consists of an excessive build-up of the endolymph fluid, which fills the hearing and balance structures of the inner ear. Endolymph fluid, which is partly regulated by the endolymph sac, flows through the inner ear and is critical to the function of all sensory cells in the inner ear.

    The auricular branch of the vagus nerve is often termed the Alderman's nerve ("a reference to the old Aldermen of the City of London and their practice of using rosewater bowls at ceremonial banquets, where attendees were encouraged to place a napkin moistened with rosewater behind their ears in the belief that this would aid digestion") or Arnold's nerve (an eponym for Friedrich Arnold).

  5. Perilymph - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perilymph

    Perilymph and endolymph have unique ionic compositions suited to their functions in regulating electrochemical impulses of hair cells necessary for hearing. The electric potential of endolymph is ~80-90 mV more positive than perilymph due to a higher concentration of potassium cations (K +) in endolymph and higher sodium (Na +) in perilymph. [4]

    Otomycosis does not usually cause as much canal skin edema as does acute bacterial external otitis.While a severe pressure type of pain is a prominent feature of advanced cases, the ear is usually much less tender, if at all, to traction or tragal pressure.

  7. Tympanic nerve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tympanic_nerve

    The tympanic nerve (Jacobson's nerve) is a branch of the glossopharyngeal nerve passing through the petrous part of the temporal bone to reach the middle ear. It provides sensory innervation for the middle ear, the Eustachian tube, the parotid gland, and mastoid cells. It also carries parasympathetic fibers destined for the parotid gland.

  8. Granular myringitis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Granular_myringitis

    Granular myringitis is a long term condition in which there is inflammation of the tympanic membrane in the ear and formation of granulation tissue within the tympanic membrane. [1] It is a type of otitis externa. [2] Without treatment it can lead to narrowing of the ear canal. [1]

  9. Otitis externa - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Otitis_externa

    Main symptoms of swimmer’s ear are a feeling of fullness in the ear, itchiness, redness, and swelling in or around the ear canal, muffled hearing, pain in the external ear and ear canal and especially a smelly discharge from the ear. [9] Constriction of the ear canal from bone growth (Surfer's ear) can trap debris leading to infection. [10]
