   Can vagus nerve stimulation restore ear balance?

   • It attempted to see if this balance could be restored by stimulating the vagus nerve at the ear. The researchers gave 29 healthy volunteers aged 55 and over transcutaneous vagal nerve stimulation for 15 minutes a day for two weeks.

   Is tVNS a non-invasive vagus nerve stimulation device?

   • For their follow-up study (2019), the same tVNS technique was used. This non-invasive vagus nerve stimulation device has electrodes which are attached to the tragus section of the outer ear; the stimulating current is administered using a transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) machine.

   Does vagus nerve stimulation reduce fight-or-flight stress?

   • Vagus nerve stimulation via the external ear using electronic devices has been shown to increase the "relaxation response" of the parasympathetic nervous system and reduce fight-or-flight stress responses driven by the sympathetic nervous system.

   Do non-invasive vagus nerve stimulation devices require a surgical implant?

   • In recent months, non-invasive vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) devices that do not require a surgical implant—but can reach the auricular branch of the vagus nerve that extends to the outer ear—have been making headlines.

   What is vagus nerve stimulation (VNS)?

   • What is VNS? Vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) is a type of surgery that can treat mental health problems. Rarely, doctors may use it to treat: Some research shows that VNS can reduce the symptoms of severe depression that hasn't been helped by other treatments. This is sometimes called 'treatment-resistant' depression.

   What is non-invasive vagus nerve stimulation?

   • Non-invasive vagus nerve stimulation reduces fight-or-flight stress responses. The vagus nerve is called the "wandering nerve" because it's the longest nerve in the human body and travels from the base of the brain up into the ears and down into the lower intestines.
