Abstract

|
|
Objectives : By analyzing symptoms of tinnitus, we tried to find out the relationship between deficiency and excess(úÈãù) and visceral pattern identification(íôÝ°Ü©ñû). By testing Tinnitus Handicap Inventory(THI), we evaluated the quality of life of people suffering from various aspects of tinnitus, as well as comparing treatment efficiency.
Methods : 52 patients were recruited in this study who was ill with tinnitus. They wrote out the questionnaire about tinnitus and the THI.
Results : The vast majority of high-grade tiny noise patients are deficiency type(úÈñø). The vast majority of low-grade roar patients are excess type(ãùñø). Tinnitus persistence and feeling of ear occlusion were prominent in low-grade roar patients. low-grade roar patients suggest that overall quality of life is lower than high-grade tiny noise patients. In terms of treatment efficiency, spleen-stomach weakness(Þ¡êÖúÈå°)-type, stomach heat(êÖæð)-type and phlegm-fire(ÓÃûý)-type was higher than kidney essence depletion(ãìïñýÐáß)-type and liver qi depression(ÊÜѨê¦Ì¿)-type regardless of the aspect of tinnitus.
Conclusions : The present study suggests that tinnitus pattern may be helpful in differentiating patients with tinnitus, and the effectiveness of treatment can be predicted through differentiation.
