  When it comes to hearing loss and tinnitus, most people will associate it with middle-aged and elderly diseases.

However, in recent years, due to high work pressure, staying up late, excessive use of mobile phones, earphones and other bad habits, sudden deafness and tinnitus are becoming younger and younger.

  Recently, a reporter from Qianjiang Evening News learned from the tinnitus and deafness studio of Zhejiang Zhongshan Hospital that young patients under the age of 40 who come to see a doctor due to tinnitus and sudden deafness account for about one-third of the outpatient clinic.

  "Sudden deafness is most commonly caused by damage to cochlear nerve hair cells, which is usually related to severe blockage of cochlear blood vessels, and infection, stress, fatigue, and poor sleep are often the triggers." Studio leader, Zhejiang Province Dr. Gao Hong, deputy director of Zhongshan Hospital, reminded that sudden deafness can be accompanied by varying degrees of dizziness, nausea, and vomiting. A small number of patients may have a feeling of stuffy ears, pressure or numbness. Early detection, early diagnosis, and early detection are necessary. treatment, otherwise it will cause irreversible hearing damage.

  A few days ago, in the tinnitus and deafness studio, Qian Bao reporter met Ms. Luo (pseudonym), a 33-year-old Taobao shop owner.

A few months ago, she suffered from sudden deafness and tinnitus. She went to many hospitals for treatment without improvement. She heard from a friend that Zhongshan Hospital has a special studio for deafness and tinnitus, so she came to seek the help of traditional Chinese medicine and acupuncture. .

  "When I had dinner on New Year's Day this year, I took a sip of wine, and then my left ear felt wrong, and my head was dizzy. I vomited all night, and I couldn't hear it the next day." Ms. Luo recalled.

  Many hospitals have diagnosed Ms. Luo as "sudden deafness" due to overwork, and severe hearing loss. The culprit was staying up late to use her mobile phone.

  "For more than half a year, I used my mobile phone in bed until one or two in the morning. Alas, I must go to bed early, have a good rest, and not indulge in my mobile phone." Ms. Luo and Qian Bao reporter talked about her illness and regretted it very much. " You must develop a healthy lifestyle, otherwise, like me, your ears will be deaf before you get old."

  After a hearing test, Director Gao Hong's team formulated a personalized treatment plan for Ms. Luo with acupuncture and traditional Chinese medicine, supplemented by ear exercises 3 to 5 times a day for health care, and instructed her not to stay up late, and to quit smoking and drinking.

  In the afternoon, Director Gao Hong performed the first acupuncture treatment for Ms. Luo using the therapy of "conducting qi and dredging collaterals". After getting up yesterday morning, Ms. Luo told the doctor that she obviously felt that the tinnitus in her left ear was relieved.

  Director Gao Hong told the Qian Bao reporter that the "conducting qi and dredging collaterals" therapy is a characteristic acupuncture therapy for the treatment of deafness and tinnitus created by him based on the summary of long-term clinical practice.

  This therapy uses a combination of abdominal acupuncture and body acupuncture, adjusts yin and yang by acupuncture on abdominal points, regulates the function of zang-fu organs, and dredges the qi of the whole body; Tinggong, Tinghui points around the ears and personal experience points "Cong'er points" behind the ears are used. The "Qi-guiding technique" causes the sense of qi to be transmitted to the ear through the meridian. At the same time, it is combined with warm acupuncture and local flash pot. All methods work together to clear the meridians, guide the qi into the ear, and improve the blood supply to the ear.

  In the deafness and tinnitus studio of Zhongshan Hospital in Zhejiang Province, most of the patients have tried many methods to cure them.

Another patient, Ms. Chen (pseudonym), suffered from recurrent deafness and tinnitus for ten years.

The third time I saw a doctor in a large hospital, after hormone therapy and hyperbaric oxygen therapy, although my hearing recovered to an average level of 50 decibels and moderate hearing damage, the sound of tinnitus became louder and could wake me up late at night.

  Last year, after three consecutive treatments with the "Guiding Qi Tongluo" acupuncture method, Ms. Chen was pleasantly surprised to find that her tinnitus was significantly relieved, and her confidence suddenly increased. It's normal, the tinnitus has basically disappeared.
