Description
Lucas Mangia, Raquel Mezzalira, and Roseli Bittar warn that hormones can harm the inner ear in a 2026 review. Sex hormone receptors sit in the cochlea and balance organs, on hair cells and nerve cells alike. Estrogen seems to guard the ear through blood flow and fluid control, while progesterone tunes nerve excitability and labyrinth fluids, the authors write. Androgens may strain vessels instead. As hormone therapies spread in and beyond clinics, ear symptoms with a hormonal root may often be missed, so ear doctors should ask about hormone use.
