Whether tinnitus is due to kidney deficiency needs to be analyzed in conjunction with other symptoms. There are many conditions that cause tinnitus, and kidney deficiency is only one of the possibilities. When tinnitus occurs, selective medical consultation should be made according to its severity and frequency. Chinese medicine believes that the kidneys open the ears, which means that when there is a disease in the kidneys, it will often manifest itself in the ears. Therefore, tinnitus occurs when there is a deficiency of the kidney yin and fire, and when fire and heat disturb the ears. Because it is a deficiency, the tinnitus sounds like a cicada and is aggravated at night. And when wind-heat attacks or liver fire disturbs, it also mostly manifests as tinnitus and is accompanied by symptoms such as cold and runny nose, headache and cough or headache and dizziness, bitterness and dryness of the mouth, respectively. The above two cases are mostly real evidence, so they often manifest as tinnitus like a flood, which is aggravated when emotionally excited. When tinnitus occurs, a preliminary judgment can be made by combining the above symptoms and characteristics of tinnitus, but it is still recommended to go to the hospital promptly. It is usually recommended to consult the ENT department or consult the TCM department.
