About treatment

Will it get worse after treatment?

Acupuncture will not make things worse. However, when sudden hearing loss develops, it puts a strain on the brain, so if you feel anxious or the atmospheric pressure changes, your symptoms may worsen. Testing your hearing will tell you if your hearing is actually getting worse or if your anxiety is causing your hearing to feel worse.

Why does acupuncture work?
It has been 3 months since the onset of symptoms. Can it be treated?

Acoustic therapy combined with acupuncture is often effective in improving listening pain, even 3 months after the onset of symptoms. Sound therapy is a "rehabilitation of the ears and brain" in which the patient listens to a CD with the sound level adjusted based on the patient's audiogram using bone conduction headphones.

What if it doesn't get better?
Is it okay to have the treatment multiple times a day?

it's okay. It is a treatment that stimulates the body and increases recovery, so there is no problem in treating it multiple times a day.

Otolaryngology Acupuncturist and practitioner of moxibustion Hiroaki Yoshiike
Is there any problem with inserting a large number of needles in one treatment?

No problem. Acupuncture is a treatment that increases the body's natural healing power by creating delicate, invisible scratches on the body and utilizing the healing power of those scratches. If there is no internal bleeding, the more acupuncture is used, the more natural healing power can be enhanced.

Is possible. Since no medication is used, there is no effect on the fetus. Our hospital has a track record of treating many pregnant women. Please feel free to contact us with any concerns you may have.

Will my tinnitus get better?

Acupuncture treatment to restore hearing and acupuncture treatment to improve autonomic nerve and blood flow abnormalities often improves the condition. Also, it is more effective to rehabilitate the ears and brain through sound therapy.

Will the dizziness get better?

Once the distortion in the body is healed and blood flow to the inner ear improves, you will begin to see results. However, sudden hearing loss that begins with vertigo is often severe, and hearing loss in both ears may deteriorate, so please consult us as soon as possible.

Will the sound quality and crackling improve?

Acupuncture treatment to restore hearing and acupuncture treatment to relieve anxiety in the brain often improves the condition. In addition, when combined with sound therapy, the improvement effect will be even greater.

Will the feeling of fullness in my ears get better?

Combining acupuncture to correct neck distortion and acupuncture to adjust the autonomic nerves, once your hearing is restored, the feeling of fullness in your ears will become easier to cure.

Is there anything that acupuncture can't cure?

Many patients with severe sudden hearing loss come to our hospital, including those whose hearing loss was not cured by treatment by doctors or who were not cured by other acupuncture clinics. Therefore, in some cases it may not be very effective, but if you continue to rehabilitate your ears and brain, you can often improve your hearing pain, so please feel free to continue treatment.

About hospital visits

How often do I visit the hospital and how many treatments do I have?

After 14 consecutive treatments, a test will be performed and subsequent treatment intervals will be determined based on the results. With acupuncture, recovery can be expected even after 3 months have passed since the onset of symptoms, so daily treatment is effective for the first 3 months. For patients living far away, many patients stay in a hotel and receive intensive treatment.

Otolaryngology Acupuncturist and practitioner of moxibustion Hiroaki Yoshiike
Are there any accommodations nearby?

There are business hotels recommended for those who want to concentrate on acupuncture and want simple facilities, and inns recommended for those who want to experience an extraordinary experience while also receiving acupuncture. There are day-trip hot springs in the area, so many people use them after acupuncture treatment. (For sudden hearing loss, taking a half-body bath in an open-air bath or a full-body bath in lukewarm water will improve the treatment effect.) If you have any questions, please contact us.

About the cost

Acupuncture treatment and testing costs for sudden hearing loss are not covered by insurance. However, sprains and muscle injuries can cause sudden hearing loss or hinder recovery. In these cases, the sprain or muscle injury will be covered by insurance.

What kind of acupuncture clinic is suitable for treating sudden hearing loss?

Sudden hearing loss is a symptom of a systemic disease, so in addition to audiometry, I think an acupuncture clinic that can perform a full body examination to find the root cause is a good option. It is also important to have an acupuncture clinic where you can immediately discuss any concerns you may have, as the mental burden can easily worsen your symptoms.
