Importance of Ear Health and Cranial Skull Bone Spacing and Alignment
Did you know that the bones in your mouth, jaw, and skull all play a critical role in 50% of your hearing? Your skull bones include the bones on the top of your mouth and the structures that affect your dental development. More than 21 bones conduct sound to your hearing system, the cochlear and vestibular system.
Do you have a double uvula or a soft cleft palate decreasing bone density?
Do you have a hairline fracture on your skull from a concussion?
Are there past or ongoing ear infections, eustachian tube inflammation, or enlarged adenoids?
What Is Common Is Not Normal
According to Dr. Martin Rosen, DC and Dr. Nancy Watson, DC we often mistake what is common for normal. I agree.
Dr. Rosen and Dr. Watson share behaviors commonly seen that are clues regarding your cranial skull bone spacing and cervical-spinal alignment on pages 26 -28 of their book, It’s All In the Head (2021). In the link below, Dr. Houser provides a video illustrating what happens to your brain and body when the flow of blood and cerebrospinal fluid to the brain is disrupted.
Dr. Rosen and Dr. Watson emphasize the importance of checking the nervous system of all babies after birth and all individuals after trauma to the head. Why is it so important? They share that,
“The nervous system processes all stimuli and facilitates all movements, functions, and developments throughout their life. “

How Do You Know There Is A Need for Action?
When cranial distortions exist, knowing what to observe is essential. Equally important, the brain needs direct intervention to improve the ability of the eyes to work well together and the ears to work strongly together. Afterward, you can improve the integration of sounds with sights resulting in more instinctive motor responses. It is also easier to listen, comprehend, and remember.
There is a need for action when:
- There are behavioral or learning difficulties
- Development delays exist
- Emotional distress like crying spells, outbursts, and unexplained irritability
- Physical limitations
- Medication improves behavior and learning, but when you stop the medication, their difficulties quickly return
