I think I have steroid-dependent hearing loss..." I have been taking steroids since after those words from the doctor. My hearing is fine, but I started acupuncture treatment because I was getting sick and worried. My hearing is gradually recovering, so I am going to discuss with my ENT doctor about reducing the amount of steroids.
Nice to meet you, I am Yoshiike from Moriue Acupuncture and Osteopathy Clinic.
We are working on acupuncture and moxibustion treatment as an alternative medicine to western medicine in Nagano Prefecture.
Steroid-dependent sensorineural hearing loss is a hearing loss that can be maintained with a certain amount of steroids.
Immunosuppressive drugs are also known to be effective when steroids are ineffective.
Apparently, it is more common among women, and most of the patients who come for consultation are women in their 30s.
The treatment is similar to the treatment of rheumatism and collagen disease, and helps the body to restore normal immunity while balancing the autonomic nervous system.
Like other autoimmune diseases, it is difficult to cure completely, but it can be made to feel much better.
Once hearing is restored, discuss with the otolaryngologist the tapering off of steroids.
