The function of these microscopic hairs inside the ear is to produce the brainwaves that allow us to hear sound, by responding to soundwaves.
When damaged, these hairs over-respond or respond in a chaotic way which can create the sound of buzzing, ringing, or whistling sounds that can range from being annoying to debilitating to the person experiencing them.

Can Foot Reflexology Help Inner Ear Pain?
Question on health care and healing: I suffer with chronic debilitating tinnitus in my left ear. Can reflexology help me? I also am having problems with my right arm and shoulder and wondered, is it the right foot that corresponds with the right shoulder? Would I rub the pressure point on my right foot to help my right shoulder or is it the opposite?
Healing facilitation response: I will begin with a medical definition of tinnitus and a resource for exploring the current treatments offered by the However, since I believe most tinnitis is the result of spiritual acceleration, I'll also address that further down in my response.
The literal translation for the word tinnitis is Latin and it means "to tinkle or ring like a bell". The condition of tinnitis involves hearing sound when no sound should be present, and the person with tinnitus is the only one who can hear the sound that should not be present.
Although typically summed up as a ringing in the ears, tinnitis actually sounds different to each person. One may hear a sound like crickets while another may hear buzzing, an actual ringing sound, tones that seem to come in intervals, or even music.
I personally hear specific tones that are quite loud and also sounds that are a lot like music. I can't tell you how many times I've gotten up and walked through the house, certain there was a radio on. I've even checked outside to see if someone in a parked car was listening to a radio.
Treatments for Tinnitus
Alternative Healing approaches to ringing in the ears include adding certain supplements to the diet, such as zinc, magnesium, or homeopathics, herbals or nutritional combinations that are targeted toward relieving tinnitis symptoms.
In addition, there are many alternative therapies that have helped some people suffering with ringing in the ears. These include craniosacral work (I think this is wonderful work, in general, and highly recommend it for general health maintenance) and accupuncture.

The Spiritual Implications of Tinnitis:
The left ear, spiritually speaking, corresponds to the right side of the body. The right side of the brain controls the left side of the body so in my energetic awareness, anything above the neck reverses. The ears are literally about how we hear.
However, there's an entirely different factor that may be involved. We are capable of hearing so very much more than we know, on a conscious level, we are hearing. Those with spiritual awareness that includes sixth sense abilities, it is pretty common knowledge that tinnitus-like symptoms are not always a physical problem but a spiritual by-product.
A spiritual explanation of tinnitus:
I've had tinnitus for many years now. I've had occasion to notice it, in terms of spiritual importance. I've noticed when it waxes and when it wanes, for example.I have come to understand that tinnitus is just a name given by the medical profession to a condition of the physical that is the result of etheric data downloads.
Even to those who are spiritually aware, this may sound bizarre or crazy to those who are not aware that many of us agreed to help transmit information on this planet, far beyond the technology recognized thru tv and radio waves.
The human brain is the ultimate computer and it is being utilized to transmit data that is vital to the continued existance of this planet.
I always notice when the ringing is louder, and take time to meditate, integrate, and just make myself available. Like I said, to many this will sound crazy....delusions of grandeur....whatever. Others know what I mean.
Reflexology approach for Tinnitis:
Spiritually speaking, the right side of the body is male and often, trouble with the shoulder has to do with responsibility (usually taking on too much) while trouble with hand and arm have to do with balance between giving and receiving, helping and allowing others to help you.
