What acupuncture clinic do you recommend to cure sudden hearing loss?

Please recommend an acupuncture clinic for treatment of sudden hearing loss. | A.T., Fukuoka, Japan

I was even given intravenous steroids and intra-atrial steroid administration, but my hearing in my left ear did not recover much and I was discharged from the hospital with tinnitus. I would like to continue acupuncture in my hometown after treatment at Morigami-san. What kind of acupuncture clinic should I choose?

Fukuoka PrefectureA.T.

Sudden hearing loss becomes more difficult to cure the longer it takes from the onset, but most people who have been treated by doctors and not cured come to acupuncture clinics.

Starting treatment from a condition that is difficult to heal, it is very important to choose an acupuncture clinic that can be effective. We hope this article will be helpful in finding a good acupuncture clinic.

Facilities for hearing tests are available.

Bone and air conduction tests

Sound can only be heard well when there is proper coordination between the ear and brain.

By conducting bone and air conductivity tests, which focus on "can you hear" rather than the "can you hear" hearing tests performed in hospitals, the connection between the brain and ears can be understood and effective acupuncture treatment can be performed.

There are testing facilities to determine stress conditions.

Whole body examination with medical thermal imaging camera

For those whose sudden hearing loss is not cured by steroids, the body's temperature changes when the body is stressed. In particular, when the calf temperature drops, the body becomes prone to infarction, which can lead to blood clots, making it easier to develop sudden hearing loss, or more severe and harder to cure.

Acupuncture is performed based on the test results. As the calf temperature returns, the improvement in hearing loss is enhanced.

Thermography Inspection

Identify stress conditions

As the saying goes, "When you are in trouble, your face turns blue." When you are stressed, your face temperature temporarily drops. Subsequently, the temperature of the hands and feet will decrease. By measuring body surface temperature, we can determine the course of the stress that caused the sudden hearing loss and enhance the effectiveness of acupuncture.

Acupuncture, which regulates the autonomic nervous system and relieves stress, enhances hearing recovery.

There are testing facilities to detect abnormalities in blood flow.

Circulatory echocardiography to examine the state of blood flow to the inner ear

Those whose sudden hearing loss is not cured by steroids often have abnormal blood flow in the vertebral artery to the inner ear. Since the pulsation varies with posture, we examine the patient in lying and sitting postures and utilize this information for effective acupuncture treatment.

When acupuncture improves blood flow to the inner ear, hearing is often restored.

echographic examination

There are facilities to examine the body for distortions.

Moire Topography to determine the cause of vertigo.

Sudden hearing loss that begins with vertigo is often caused by the head not being above the center of gravity or by a bent neck that compresses blood vessels, which reduces blood flow to the inner ear.

Based on the results of moire topography, acupuncture to adjust the center of gravity begins to improve dizziness and restore hearing!

Extensive experience in treating sudden hearing loss and an atmosphere conducive to consultation.

An acupuncture doctor who has treated many patients with sudden hearing loss will be able to explain the rationale and treatment plan in detail, so that you can continue treatment with conviction and peace of mind.

In addition, since the symptoms of sudden hearing loss can upset not only your body but also your state of mind, it is good to keep in mind as a factor in your decision whether or not you can immediately consult with us when you are anxious.

Morigami Acupuncture and Moxibustion Clinic Acupuncturist Akinori Sagara

He experienced a tumultuous life from a young age, including the bankruptcy of the company he worked for. A family member's poor health inspired her to become an acupuncture and moxibustion therapist. Although she has difficulty expressing her emotions, she has a kind heart. She specializes in psychosomatic medicine and acupuncture for sudden hearing loss. From the viewpoint that "deterioration of hearing can even damage the brain," she strives to provide treatment that is emotionally supportive and sympathetic to the patient's feelings.

About Us

Acupuncture and moxibustion osteopathic clinic located in Suzaka City, Nagano Prefecture.

Treating Sudden Deafness Acupuncture Specialist

We provide acupuncture treatment to cure the root cause of sudden hearing loss that cannot be cured from the source. Since many of our patients come to our clinic from far away, we have a shuttle service so that they can come to our clinic for treatment with peace of mind. The earlier you start treatment for sudden hearing loss, the more effective it will be.

Find the cause quickly

Our unique inspection method, not found anywhere else

  • audiometry

    Audiometry

    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 neck distortion

    Check the distortion of the body

    Since many patients with sudden hearing loss that begins with vertigo have a distorted body because their skull is not originally on the center of gravity, acupuncture is used to treat the distortion.

  • エコー検査

    Echographic examination

    Since a weakened immune system and poor natural healing power often result from abnormalities in blood flow, acupuncture is performed by looking for abnormalities in blood flow in the limbs and neck with a circulatory echocardiograph.

Patient Testimonials

  • S.T., Shizuoka, Japan, who had acupuncture treatment for sudden hearing loss

    S.T.Shizuoka

    Stress-induced sudden hearing loss

    Now I know why it won't heal.

    I was discharged from the hospital without being able to hear completely in my left ear and was being treated at a local acupuncture clinic, but decided to seek treatment when I saw Morigami-san's website. The acupuncture clinic I had been going to did not have a machine to measure my hearing or my general condition, but I was relieved when Morigami-san's examination clarified the treatment method.

  • R.K., Chiba, Japan, who had acupuncture treatment for sudden hearing loss

    Sudden hearing loss with no hearing in one ear

    Persuasive Explanation

    He examined the condition of my body to every corner and made suggestions for treatment. He was very persuasive, and I felt again that I would like to work with Morigami Acupuncture Clinic. I stayed at a nearby hotel so I did not have to listen to the hustle and bustle of the city, and my living environment was stress-free. My hearing has also recovered, so I am really glad I came.

    Sudden hearing loss with sound echoes

    Hearing is getting better.

    There was a time when I was depressed because of the never-ending tinnitus and the sound echoing in my head, but thanks to the treatment I received while staying in Nagano, it gradually became less and less bothersome. I know there are probably people who are hesitant to go to the hospital because of the cost, but I was very comfortable going to the hospital.
