Can acupuncture cure the auditory replacement phenomenon caused by sudden hearing loss? ｜Y.N., Yamanashi, Japan

After being discharged from the hospital, I continue to hear sounds echoing and gradually become depressed. High-pitched sounds such as children's and dog's voices are particularly harsh. Can acupuncture cure the sound echoes of sudden hearing loss?

Sudden hearing loss can cause the "auditory replacement phenomenon," in which certain sounds sound resonant. Many people with sudden hearing loss are distressed because they feel loud at the slightest change in volume, even though their hearing is supposed to be impaired.

If the auditory replacement phenomenon persists, depression is common, and if it is not cured by doctor's treatment, acupuncture should be started as soon as possible.

What causes auditory replacement phenomenon in sudden hearing loss?

1. the inner ear breaks down

The inner ear contains hair cells that catch sound and transmit it to the brain, which can distinguish between the sounds it wants to hear and the sounds it does not want to hear so that it can hear what people are saying and what they are saying even when the surroundings are noisy.

In sudden hearing loss, the hair cells are destroyed due to poor blood flow or viral neuritis, which results in poor sound differentiation and coordination.

2. Damage one's brain

The brain has two parts: the theoretical brain (the part that calmly analyzes and listens to sounds) and the emotional brain (the part that feels whether sounds are pleasant or unpleasant).

Sound can only be heard when there is proper coordination between the ear and the brain, but in sudden hearing loss, the hearing loss is so sudden that the emotional brain is startled and anxious, seeking out and activating the range of sounds that cannot be heard. The more anxious you feel, the stronger the sound appears.

Why is it so hard to cure the auditory replacement phenomenon with doctor's treatment?

This is because drugs cannot be used to regenerate hair cells or to reassure the emotional brain. In addition, the side effects of steroids can cause depression, further exacerbating the auditory replacement phenomenon.

Acupuncture can help with the auditory replacement phenomenon.

Treatment that addresses the root cause is possible.

Hearing and full-body examinations are available.

At our clinic, we examine the patient from a different direction than doctors and provide acupuncture treatment to solve the root cause of the hearing replacement phenomenon that cannot be cured.

Acupuncture improves the sound of the sound

Based on the results of the hearing test and systemic examination, we will suggest effective acupuncture treatment. Combination of several treatments, such as treatment to relieve brain anxiety, treatment to restore hearing, and treatment to improve blood flow, will enhance the improvement effect.

Acoustic Therapy" Helps Hearing Loss

Acoustic therapy is a rehabilitation procedure in which a classical CD is adjusted to the patient's audiogram (audiogram) to improve the hearing coordination between the ear and brain. If the onset of sudden hearing loss has been several months, acoustic therapy can be effective in combination with acupuncture.

Acupuncture cures by drawing out the natural healing power that everyone possesses, so there are no side effects. Since acupuncture stimulates healing during non-REM sleep, a good night's sleep after treatment will enhance the effect.

Our unique inspection method, not found anywhere else

Hearing test

From a different angle than a doctor, we perform a full-scale bone and air conductivity hearing test to select acupuncture points that will maximize the effectiveness of acupuncture treatment.
Check the distortion of the body

If there is vertigo, the skull is not originally on the center of gravity and the body is often distorted, so acupuncture is used to treat the distortion.
Echographic examination

Since a weakened immune system and poor natural healing power often result from abnormalities in blood flow, acupuncture is performed using a circulatory echo to look for abnormalities in blood flow in the limbs and neck.

Sequelae of sudden hearing loss

The sound is much better.

I started coming to the clinic through an acquaintance who had his sudden hearing loss cured by Mr. Morigami. I was thinking of retiring from carpentry work, but now that the sound is much better, I think I can still do my best. I used to wake up many times at night and didn't feel like I had a good night's sleep, but since I started acupuncture treatment, I wake up less often. Thanks to the acupuncture, I am less tired from work.

Auditory Replacement Phenomenon in Sudden Hearing Loss

I'm glad I had the courage to do it.

I felt lonely because of the sound of motorcycles and because I avoided going out as much as possible because I had become uncomfortable with high-pitched voices, and some of my friends had become estranged from me. I was in a state of total darkness, but after coming to the hospital, I gradually calmed down and became a little more hopeful about the future. I am glad that I did not give up on coming to the hospital because it is far from my house.

It worked.

After a week of daily treatment, the feeling of sound bubbling and tinnitus became lighter! When I initially consulted my family, they were opposed to the idea that I should just go to Tokyo for treatment, but thanks to the doctor's careful persuasion, I was able to continue. I was able to fully enjoy the hot springs and felt completely refreshed by the trip.
