Fingertip bloodletting cannot relieve tinnitus. Fingertip bloodletting for tinnitus belongs to the treatment method of traditional Chinese medicine, but so far there is no evidence to prove that fingertip bloodletting relieves tinnitus, so tinnitus should be treated by choosing a reasonable treatment method. Tinnitus is usually caused by insufficient blood supply to the cerebral arteries. For many elderly patients, it is easy to appear this phenomenon. Secondly, certain mental psychological factors such as accompanied by anxiety, upset, panic, depression, insomnia and so on can induce tinnitus. The causes of tinnitus are different, and so are the treatments we use. Patients with tinnitus are advised to go to the hospital for relevant examinations to clarify the specific conditions and carry out relevant treatments according to the causes. Patients with insufficient blood supply to the cerebral arteries can be treated with drugs that improve blood circulation, such as bacitracin injection and prostaglandin injection. Patients with anxiety and depression can be given anti-anxiety and anti-depression drugs. In addition, for patients with cerebral tinnitus, they should usually relax, rest well, try to eat more food containing vitamins, and don’t eat cold, spicy and stimulating food.
