Leech therapy can be very useful for ear diseases such as ear infection, neuritis of the auditory nerve, Meniere’s disease, labyrinthitis, acute and chronic otitis media, and the consequences of ear injuries. LT has proven itself particularly useful for an acute inflammation of the outer and middle ear in children. 4-5 procedures are usually enough to completely cure a child.
For adults we use few leeches per procedure and in chronic diseases, as a rule, at least two courses of approximately 8 procedures are required.
