Acupuncture is the answer to your otolaryngological problems.
Hearing loss, tinnitus, and dizziness that do not respond to medication have their own characteristics. By examining the overall condition of the body and treating each of these characteristics carefully, the symptoms of otolaryngological disorders that we have given up on as incurable can often be improved.
Deterioration of lymph and blood flow can lead to lymphatic stagnation in the inner ear and reduced immunity of the ear nerves, which can cause hearing loss, tinnitus, and dizziness. We look for symptoms of lymphatic stagnation and reduced blood flow to the inner ear in a different direction than a doctor's examination.
Inspection 1Check the temperature of the face
Stress causes a decrease in facial temperature, as in the case of a troubled face turning blue. Lymphatic fluid tends to accumulate in the inner ear, which can cause dizziness and ear blockage. Even if you are not feeling stressed, we will examine your facial temperature because you are often in a high-stress state.
Inspection 2Examine the temperature of the lower body
When the body is continually stressed, hormones cause the temperature of the legs to drop. Lymphatic fluid metabolism is lowered, causing lymph to accumulate in the inner ear. This is a common symptom of Meniere's disease, low tone hearing loss, external lymph fistula, and delayed endolymphatic edema.
Inspection 3Examine blood flow in the vertebral artery.
A crooked neck compresses the vertebral artery that carries blood to the inner ear, reducing blood flow. This symptom is seen in most patients suffering from otolaryngological disorders. Reduced blood flow in the vertebral artery can also cause dizziness and tinnitus.
Inspection 4Find out if you can distinguish between the two.
As hearing loss occurs, tinnitus and dizziness are more likely to occur. We measure hearing with an emphasis on being able to hear and distinguish in a crowded environment. The acupuncturist takes the hearing measurement, so everything, including the patient's mental state, is utilized in the acupuncture treatment.
After treatment, as stress improves, hormonal balance is restored and lymphatic flow improves. Lymphatic stagnation in the inner ear and pharyngeal area is eliminated and healing power around the ear is increased. This is an effective way to increase the immunity and regeneration of the inner ear. It does not have the strong side effects of steroids and can be treated several times a day, depending on the situation.
9 acupuncture treatments
and my tinnitus and vertigo are better!
The patient came to our clinic with hearing loss, tinnitus, and dizziness after visiting an ENT doctor and being treated with isovide and steroids, but her hearing did not improve. This patient recovered after 9 acupuncture treatments until he no longer had any pain in his daily life. The otolaryngologist who had been visiting the clinic was surprised. Since then, she has been coming to the clinic for rehabilitation.
When the sympathetic nerve mass (stellate ganglion) in the front of the neck is strained, blood flow to the inner ear is reduced. Pain clinicians improve blood flow to the inner ear by anesthetizing the stellate ganglion, but there is concern about damaging the nerve, so these days they often use a far-infrared laser to treat this problem. The treatment takes about 10 minutes with no side effects.
Tinnitus, dizziness, sound distortion, sound echo, and depression (depression) caused by hearing loss can be improved with acoustic therapy. Acoustic therapy is our original treatment method, in which the patient listens to music with bone-conduction headphones whose sound levels are adjusted based on the patient's audiogram.
Details.Feature 1
It is effective even if symptoms become chronic.
Many patients say that after acoustic therapy, their hearing loss, tinnitus, and dizziness, which had been bothering them for a long time, got better. I believe this is because the brain is able to integrate and recognize the different sound levels coming in from the left and right ears. Acoustic therapy is effective in restoring such excellent brain ability.
Feature 2
It was effective for about 90% of tinnitus cases where medications did not work.
We use acoustic therapy to treat patients who have been treated with medications for many years or who have had poor response to medications. By combining acupuncture and acoustic therapy, we can improve tinnitus and sound ringing caused by hearing loss.
Feature 3
All you have to do is listen to a CD produced for your hearing for 3 hours a day
The treatment consists of simply listening to a CD produced to your level of hearing for 3 hours a day. To improve tinnitus, listen to it for one hour at a time, checking the pitch of the sound with both ears. If the sound is in a resonant state, listen to it as background music. If the symptoms improve, the treatment CD will be made again according to your hearing at that time.
Meniere's disease
T.K., Nagano, Japan
I was rushed to the hospital by ambulance because of dizziness, nausea, and voices in my head. After tests, treatment was started for a sudden hearing loss, but the dizziness worsened and I was diagnosed with Meniere's disease. After leaving the hospital, my daughter, a physical therapist, checked me out and I have been coming to Morigami-san. I am feeling better these days.
Psychogenic Difficulties
A.S., Gunma, Japan
At first I was told it was a sudden hearing loss, but a second opinion at a university hospital said it was a psychogenic hearing loss. They said I was pretending not to hear. At the recommendation of my worried parents, I decided to start acupuncture treatment. I am no longer tired in the morning and my physical condition is improving. I would like to continue the treatment a little longer.
dizziness
M.I., Nagano, Japan
I started acupuncture when my ENT doctor told me to get used to it because I was not feeling well even after taking anti-dizziness medicine. In my case, I had poor blood flow in my legs, which caused my blood pressure to fluctuate, resulting in dizziness and headaches. There were many things that came to mind. I am feeling better now because of the acupuncture treatment.
All of our examination methods are original. Even tinnitus and dizziness that do not respond to medication can often be found clues to cure them if they are examined by considering them as systemic diseases.

Hearing screening facilities must be available.
Hearing tests are essential in the treatment of hearing loss, tinnitus, and vertigo. Acupuncture-specific audiograms can be measured to effectively treat acupuncture for inner ear disorders.
Stress testing facilities must be available.
Thermography and echocardiography facilities can be used to investigate abnormalities in the autonomic nervous system and the state of blood flow to the inner ear to correct the cause of inner ear disease.
Consideration must be given to disinfection.
Because acupuncture involves fine manipulation, a rubber sack with only the fingertips is usually used to prevent infection. Since faucets are a source of infection, it is recommended that acupuncture clinics be equipped with a type of hand washing device that does not touch the faucet.
Many patients say that acoustic therapy has improved their tinnitus and dizziness, even if there is no long-term change with medication. I believe this is because the brain is able to integrate and recognize the different sound levels coming in from the left and right ears. Acoustic therapy is effective in restoring such excellent brain abilities.
