Abstract

|
|
Objectives : The purpose of this study is to report the effect of east-west medical combined treatment of sudden sensorineural hearing loss(SSNHL) through cooperation in a hospital.
Methods : We treated three patients diagnosed as SSNHL by combination of herbal medicine, acupuncture, pharmoacupuncture, moxibustion, cupping, laser therapy and conventional medications. We evaluated the results of this treatment with pure tone audiometry, word recognition score(WRS), the changes in distortion product otoacoustic emissions(DPOAE) and visual analogue scale.
Results : One of them showed a meaningful improvement in the hearing level of the low frequency region. The others showed ‘Complete recovery’ in pure tone audiometry and WRS. The subjective symptoms including tinnitus and ear fullness improved in three patients.
Conclusion : This study suggests that east-west medical combined treatment is effective on SSNHL patients.
