Ears in general see also Ears Deafness Psychosomatic and Holistic Meaning and Interpretation

The ear, being the organ of hearing, allows humans to connect with the outside world by listening. It symbolizes our capacity to hear clearly and understand external events. Common ear problems include OTALGIA, OTITIS, MASTOIDITIS, PAIN, INFLAMMATIONS, ECZEMA, DEAFNESS, and diseases starting with "OTO" like OTOMYCOSIS. Additionally, the ear plays a crucial role in maintaining balance, providing information about the head and body's position and movements in different spatial planes. When this balance function falters, it can result in MENIERE'S SYNDROME.
Any issue hindering good hearing often reflects an individual's tendency to overly judge what they hear, coupled with suppressed inner anger. They may seek to block out sounds by metaphorically covering their ears. Otitis is increasingly common in infants because newborns struggle to comprehend adult reprimands; they prefer rational explanations for actions over emotional or mental ones, along with coherent language.
Deafness can manifest in individuals who have difficulty actively listening to others due to excessive preoccupation with their own thoughts. Typically, this person feels accused easily and lives defensively. They find criticism, even if constructive, distressing. Stubbornness or an insistence on acting only according to personal desires can also contribute to hearing issues. Those who fear disobedience may experience deafness as well. Such individuals feel they lack the right to deviate from expectations. Additionally, extreme sensitivity may make them reluctant to hear others' problems for fear of feeling obligated to solve them and neglecting their own needs.
If ear pain occurs without affecting hearing, the body is signaling feelings of guilt and a desire for self-punishment related to what one chooses or refuses to hear. For those with purely aesthetic concerns, like not wearing earrings, their bodies urge them to embrace personal preferences without guilt.
If you find yourself unwilling or unable to hear what's happening around you (feeling your ears are plugged), it's time to listen with your heart's ears. Embrace the idea that those you struggle to hear are doing their best, even if you disagree. What troubles you most isn't necessarily what they say but your perception of it. Regain self-confidence, accept that others may not intend harm, and you'll find it easier to love yourself and be open to their perspectives.
If you believe others only love you when you obey, it's crucial to change this belief. It fosters a fear of blame to the extent of feigning deafness to have an excuse for not complying.
If you tend to meddle in the lives of loved ones, learn to listen without assuming responsibility for their well-being instead of becoming deaf. This approach cultivates understanding, opens your heart, and keeps your ears receptive.
Regarding ear pain, rather than self-accusation, it's more effective to reevaluate your beliefs. Sharing your feelings of guilt with others can help determine if your beliefs hold true.




If you are feeling guilty, it is better to change your beliefs rather than accuse yourself.

Earaches often follow criticism directed at you or someone else, causing both physical and emotional distress. Ear infections can be related to words that evoke irritation, emotional turmoil, conflicts, or disharmony. Otitis, on the other hand, may indicate a sense of helplessness concerning what you've heard.

In children, ear ailments can reflect their exposure to parental conflicts or other distressing sounds without the ability to voice their opinions. Learn to keep your ears open while developing detachment from what you hear to maintain an open heart.
