Abstract
Pregnancy itself causes the mothers not only physiological changes in metabolism, hormone status, and autonomic nervous system, but also psychological impacts from emotional stress. These changes may affect the hearing and balance system in pregnant women resulting in a variety of inner ear symptoms i.e. hearing loss, tinnitus, vertigo, etc.(1) However, the clinicians were not so familiar with the management of inner ear disorders in pregnant women.
