  Tinnitus and deafness are one of the medical problems today. Except for some tinnitus and deafness with clear external causes, the treatment effect of sudden deafness and tinnitus is relatively obvious, while long-term tinnitus needs a longer time in clinical treatment. For such patients, modern medicine often seems helpless except giving treatment to nourish nerves and improve circulation.  The treatment of tinnitus and deafness adopts the holistic concept of Chinese medicine, dialectical treatment, and the combined application of Chinese medicine ion introduction, microwave therapy or eustachian tube Chinese medicine blowing powder therapy, and acupuncture point injection methods, which are effective in the treatment of tinnitus and deafness.  Chinese medicine ion introduction therapy: It is a method of applying the direct current output from the drug ion penetration instrument and applying it to the electrode plate of the Chinese herbal medicine solution to make the drug ions penetrate into the human acupuncture points or the affected part, so as to obtain the dual therapeutic effect of the drug and acupuncture points. This therapy was first created in 1959 in the acupuncture field in China, which has enriched the treatment means for tinnitus diseases.  Microwave therapy: The main therapeutic effect is achieved through thermal and biological effects. Due to the existence of magnetic resistance between polar molecules on the oscillation of the damping effect, thus consuming microwave energy and heat, the use of these heat to achieve the purpose of treatment, which is the thermal effect of microwave therapy. Through research and experiments show that the use of microwave irradiation lesions, its therapeutic effect far exceeds that of other heat application methods. Microwaves have the property of selective heating, the human body’s various tissue dielectric constant is not the same, so the ability of various tissues to absorb microwaves is also different. Absorption of microwave ability of the tissue warming up faster, absorption of weak energy to warm up slower. Diseased tissues tend to absorb microwaves better than normal tissues and warm up faster, thus achieving the purpose of selective treatment.  Acupoint injection: also known as “water injection”, is a method to treat diseases by injecting Chinese and Western drugs into the relevant acupuncture points. This treatment is different from traditional acupuncture because of the use of modern purified drugs. The drugs injected at acupuncture points will act specifically on the target tissues through this liquid channel, and the drugs are restrained in the meridians without spreading outside the meridians, thus ensuring the concentration of the drugs, and coupled with the transport of tissue fluid along the meridians, the drugs can reach the patient’s site faster. The specificity is better and the side effects are less, thus having a better therapeutic effect.  The combined application of these three methods on the basis of oral Chinese medicine and ear massage is very effective in clinical practice, especially for sudden onset deafness and tinnitus, with distinctive TCM characteristics, which is the advantageous treatment technique of our department compared with other tinnitus and deafness treatment methods.
