For those who have been suffering from chronic tinnitus, dizziness and hard of hearing, beware! Whether you hear a cicada, a siren or a horn, when your ears are buzzing with noise, it is likely that there is a problem with the inner ear circulation, which is commonly known as an ear stroke, so it is best to seek medical treatment as soon as possible to avoid missing the golden treatment period.
According to statistics, the incidence of tinnitus is slightly higher in men than in women, especially as age increases. In general, tinnitus is associated with hearing impairment, which affects normal hearing. According to figures, more than 10% of men aged 65 to 74 with tinnitus have hearing impairment.
There are many causes of tinnitus, including inflammation of the nerve or inner ear, tumor compression, edema, lack of oxygen or ischemia, etc. Don’t think that tinnitus is just a minor problem, but from the Chinese medicine point of view, tinnitus has a lot to do with the body’s constitution. In particular, tinnitus, dizziness and deafness are three difficult ear problems that often accompany each other. According to Chinese medicine, this is all due to problems with the kidneys, small intestine and Sanjiao meridian in the body.
In Chinese medicine, it is believed that the kidney, small intestine and Sanjiao meridians all flow through the ears, therefore, whenever there is a problem with these three, it will be reflected in ear diseases. In particular, the kidneys and the San Jiao meridian are responsible for managing the water in the inner ear. If the two forces of the kidneys and the San Jiao meridian cannot be channeled smoothly, water will easily accumulate in the inner ear. Once water accumulates in the inner ear, it is easy to develop dizziness, or to feel dizzy and unclear throughout the brain.
The kidney qi goes from the bladder to both sides of the throat and finally to the ears. Dr. Sheng-Pu Lee, a Chinese medicine doctor, pointed out that if this line is blocked, such as when the kidney qi is relatively deficient and you have a cold, it is easy for cold or viruses to invade this line, causing pressure and affecting the auditory nerves of the brain, resulting in tinnitus. This kind of temporary tinnitus caused by a cold is quite simple to treat in Chinese medicine, as long as the wind and cold are removed, supplemented by warming the kidneys and nourishing the qi to drive out the external evil, usually with one week of medication.
The problem is the external force caused by long-term tinnitus, Dr. Sheng-Pu Lee said, like many Taiwanese men in military service, often due to shooting, shelling and other vibrations caused damage to the eardrum, but often take it lightly, do not go to treatment, until the growing age, tinnitus, hard of hearing impairment more and more serious, missed the golden treatment period, and then go to the doctor, the treatment effect has been greatly reduced.
In the treatment of tinnitus, Western medicine focuses on reducing inflammation, while Chinese medicine emphasizes restoring the Qi of the kidney, small intestine and Sanjiao meridian to slow down the deterioration of hearing. According to Chinese medicine, regardless of whether the tinnitus is caused by kidney deficiency or liver heat, the treatment should be focused on strengthening the kidney and lowering the fire, so as to ease the kidney Qi and reduce the impact on the patient’s daily life and avoid the physical and mental fatigue caused by tinnitus.
People do not know that there is a Chinese medical method for tinnitus. Dr. Sheng-Pu Lee emphasized that Chinese medicine, which emphasizes the meridians, has been effective for thousands of years through evidence-based treatment and empirical medicine. Moreover, the Chinese medicine for different meridians is different from the medicine used in Western medicine to open up the blood vessels, which is more appropriate for the symptoms.
