Utopia of medical treatment of deafness: A cerumenolytic agent in the colonial period

Abstract

Los indicios acerca del desarrollo del conocimiento sobre la disminución de la agudeza auditiva se remontan hasta la antigua Grecia. Desde entonces, diversos tratamientos se han empleado para tratar dicha discapacidad, centrados en su etiología. Durante el período colonial se empleó el aceite de almendras como un agente eficaz para tratar la sordera. El uso del aceite de almendras en las recetas neogranadinas para el tratamiento de la sordera causada por cerumen impactado es efectivo, seguro e incluso es empleado como cerumenolítico en la actualidad. Sin embargo, un desconocimiento en la evolución clínica de los pacientes tratados en esa época dificulta llegar a resultados concluyentes

The initial development of knowledge about a decrease in hearing acuity goes back to ancient Greece. Since then, various treatments have been used to cure this disability, focusing on its etiology. During the colonial period, almond oil was used as an effective agent to treat deafness. The use of almond oil in New Granada´s recipes for the treatment of deafness caused by impacted earwax is effective, safe, and is even currently used as a cerumenolytic. However, a lack of knowledge in the clinical evolution of the patients treated at that time makes it difficult to reach conclusive results.
