There are hundreds of millions of tinnitus patients worldwide. Younger people are also affected by this condition. Some people suffer from more severe symptoms that not only interfere with their daily lives, but also lead to severe psychological reactions such as restlessness, insomnia, anxiety and difficulty concentrating, and in bad cases can lead to hearing loss and hearing damage.

Symptoms

  • Ringing in the ears such as whistling, humming, buzzing or tapping.

Treatment at NUWA includes acupuncture in combination with Chinese herbs and head and neck massage to balance tone deficits. In this way we achieve a good effect in the treatment of tinnitus.

We also draw on the principles of meridianology, neuroanatomy and neuroelectrophysiology. This improves blood circulation in the local area and regulates the state of the central nervous system, regulating the qi and blood functions of the internal organs and coordinating the balance of yin and yang so that the ear is fully nourished and adjusted in function to achieve the purpose of the treatment.

The acupuncture points not only have a local effect around the ear, but also change the overall flow of qi and blood by conditioning the entire body. Especially for the acupuncture points near the ear, the patient will feel local pain and swelling after acupuncture, and the reaction to needling will be strong. Further, the treatment focuses on nourishing the spleen and kidneys, strengthening the bone marrow as well as activating the blood to invigorate the ear.

However, the effectiveness of acupuncture also depends on the timing of the treatment.

First of all, the timing of the treatment is very important, it must be done before it is too late, because the longer you wait, the more difficult the treatment will be. For some patients in the early stages, tinnitus can be significantly reduced or even disappear after several acupuncture treatments.

We recommend combining Chinese and Western medicine to determine the cause and prognosis. It is important to ensure sufficient sleep and to avoid emotional fluctuations if possible.
