The international LLLT-research shows a wide field of applications and researches.
It's not only the ear cells softlaser is good for.
The speciality of the LLLT-studies over all different applications is, that they show an homogeneous effect to the human and also animal cells:
Laserlight in the right quality improves the biological processes within the cells, so that the different recovery processes will be improved too.
To define the right quality is very complex and it is the key of success of a LLLT. It makes clear, that there are so different studies existing to the LLLT.

Many doctors are using Softlaser for different applications. There are many new applicatons every year.
Dr. Wilden uses softlaser in a wide field of applications. In the focus of this website is softlaser in the case of inner ear diseases.
Dr. Wildens researches and studies.
Wilden, Dindinger 1996: Treatment of chronic diseases of the inner ear with low level laser Therapy (LLLT): Pilot project.
Wilden, Karthein, 1998: Import of radiation phenomena of electrons and therapeutic low-level laser in regard to the mitochondrial energy transfer.
Here are more scientologic works of Dr. Wilden: "Publications of Dr. Wilden "
At many international congresses he referates with positive resonance about his researches.

Laser Association) in Helsinki (August 20-23, 2010)
Studies of the last years demonstrate the working of the softlaser at inner ear problems

There have been done some studies demonstrating the usefulnes of LLLT. In general it is to say, studies with too less energy brings less results or nothing.
Studies with enough energy had good results even if they use some other parameters (wave length and so on).
