Currently there is intriguing data that aldosterone supplementation may improve hearing. For those with hearing loss and balance disorders, this advancement could significantly improve quality of life. Aldosterone does not have the side effects of the current treatment with steroids (prednisone/prednisolone/dexamethasone) and may better address the underlying cause of hearing and vestibular disease.

This hormone regulates Sodium and Potassium activity in the inner ear. The strial Na/K-ATPase activation by aldosterone may result in an increased secretion of potassium ions in the endolymphatic compartment and an overproduction of endolymph. This may contribute to the development of an endolymphatic hydrops, as seen in Menière’s disease. Aldosterone levels may also be increased by emotional stress, which has been put forward as a precipitating factor in Menière’s disease. See attached research:
