The audiogram (or audiometry) is the most important diagnostic method for assessing the biological condition of the inner ear.

Just as an X-ray reveals the biological quality of a joint, the audiogram reveals the individual biological quality of the inner ear.

In a completely healthy ear, the audiogram shows a level of -10 decibels across all frequencies.

The worse the audiogram value, the greater the strain on the inner ear and the louder the test tone must be to be audible.

That’s also the problem with hearing aids. They all amplify the sound in an inner ear that is already overwhelmed by loud noise.

For further evaluation of an audiogram, the so-called hearing loss line is important. This line is at 30 dB across all frequencies.

This means that those affected often only hear the test tone when their audiogram falls below this 30 dB line.

Thankfully, this condition is not irrevocably set in stone, because the inner ear has a high capacity for regeneration.

Home therapy with our mobile Dr. Wilden Ear Laser utilizes this natural power of cellular self-regeneration to gradually improve the existing biological quality.

80% of all tinnitus patients hear a high-frequency tinnitus tone. At the same time, there is a high-frequency hearing loss visible in the hearing curve, and this can be explained by a simple fact.

The hair cells responsible for our ability to hear high and very high frequencies are subjected to the greatest mechanical stress.

All hair cells sit on an elastic membrane, the so-called basilar membrane, which has a vibration pattern similar to a guitar string.

Guitar strings break at the top of the twist, not in the middle.

Similarly, the hair cells responsible for high frequencies are located at the very top of the basilar membrane.

Below we show you some hearing curves that demonstrate the improvements in hearing and other impairments, such as tinnitus, dizziness, hyperacusis, etc., through our laser therapy (photobiomodulation):
