Because one of the possible symptoms in the phosphorus syndrome is a peculiar type of deafness-to wit, the ability to hear most sounds within the usual parameters of “normal” hearing, but the inability to hear the human voice; I wonder, granting that the simillimum is closely aligned with the symptom totality of the individual, if phos. Could be or possibly is used to treat a certain type of deafness found mostly in the elderly. Most of these claim they can hear other sounds, but can’t hear human voice. Another thing to consider is the elderly that will go on to develop senile dementia at beginning of symptoms will,at first notice some initial symptoms- increased forgetfulness.slowing ability to process new information which bothers them. Could, in some cases, these people be able to hear human words,but be unable to understand what’s being said, and out of embarrassment rather say they are deaf to human voices. If this is possible, it could to lead to consideration of remedies that treat senile dementia. Hope to get some replies soon. Best regards,Fredric

It should help if all the parameters you mention match.
Nerve deafness though, is not something that easily improve clinically. But we can always hope!

Dear Fredric
If you want more info on the clinical applications of using phos. see Clarke "dictionary of practical Materia Medica".
In my oppinion your focus is not on the bigger picture, Just like Dr. leela Mentioned in her reply to you-Phos only works if its well indicated for that "particular" patient.
A diagnosis of Senile Dementia is an allopathic diagnosis/term-and is useless within the scope of simplistic casetaking work from a homeopathic view.

Lets go back to Phos- this constitutional type has most often the ability to be in tune with extreme sensitive energies/EMR/intuitive premonitions...............etc. What the average person might not hear/feel/see.

This takes you to a whole other subject besides hearing or not hearing. You posted:Most of these claim they can hear other sounds......................................."
Phos Const. Types are extremely sensitive+++ to all kinds of external impressions.
to light/sounds/smell/sensual/beauty/other people's emotions/they feel what others feel/like a psychic sponge/clairvoyance......................etc.
Hope this explains it better.
