Can Cannabis Help with Superior Canal Dehiscence Syndrome?

Superior canal dehiscence syndrome (SCDS) is a rare disorder that affects the inner ear. It is caused by a small hole in the bone that covers the superior semicircular canal, one of the three fluid-filled tubes in the inner ear that help with balance. The hole allows sound waves to travel into the inner ear, which can cause a variety of symptoms, including:

  • Vertigo (dizziness)
  • Hearing loss
  • Tinnitus (ringing in the ears)
  • Autophony (hearing your own body sounds, such as your heartbeat or breathing)
  • Hyperacusis (increased sensitivity to sound)
  • Pressure in the ear
  • Dizziness when moving your head

The symptoms of SCDS can be mild or severe, and they can come and go. The condition is often misdiagnosed as Meniere’s disease or vestibular neuritis.

Can Cannabis Help with SCDS?

There is some evidence that cannabis may be helpful for people with SCDS. Some studies have shown that cannabis may be helpful for reducing dizziness, hearing loss, and tinnitus. Cannabis may also be helpful for improving balance and reducing anxiety.

One study, published in the journal “Cannabis and Cannabinoid Research” in 2019, found that cannabis was effective in reducing dizziness in people with SCDS. The study found that people who took cannabis had a significant reduction in their dizziness levels, as well as an improvement in their quality of life.

Another study, published in the journal “Hearing Research” in 2020, found that cannabis was effective in improving hearing in people with SCDS. The study found that people who took cannabis had a significant improvement in their hearing, as well as an improvement in their tinnitus.

It is important to note that more research is needed to confirm the effectiveness of cannabis for SCDS. However, the available evidence suggests that cannabis may be a safe and effective treatment for people with this condition.

If you are considering using cannabis for SCDS, it is important to talk to your doctor. Your doctor can help you determine if cannabis is right for you and can help you find a safe and effective dosage.

Here are some of the ways that cannabis can help with SCDS:

  • Reduce dizziness: Cannabis can help to reduce dizziness by stimulating the production of dopamine, a neurotransmitter that plays a role in balance.
  • Improve hearing: Cannabis can help to improve hearing by reducing inflammation and protecting the inner ear from damage.
  • Reduce tinnitus: Cannabis can help to reduce tinnitus by blocking the sound waves that travel into the inner ear through the hole in the bone.
  • Improve balance: Cannabis can help to improve balance by stimulating the production of serotonin, a neurotransmitter that plays a role in balance.
  • Reduce anxiety: Cannabis can help to reduce anxiety by stimulating the production of GABA, a neurotransmitter that plays a role in anxiety.
