Scalp Acupuncture Combined with Auricular Acupuncture is Effective in Treating “Ear Apoplexy”

Although Western medicine has a golden deadline for the treatment of ear apoplexy, and informs patients that if the opportunity is missed, the hearing will never be restored, or even if there is improvement, it will not be fully restored. Dr. Yang Longjun uses scalp acupuncture combined with auricular acupuncture, but it does not necessarily require a golden treatment period. According to a fixed treatment process, the hearing caused by ear stroke can return to normal; early detection and early treatment have a greater chance of recovery. remains the unchanging truth.

There was a woman surnamed Lin in her 50s who went to the ENT department for examination and treatment because of sudden deafness. She was diagnosed with what is commonly known as “ear apoplexy”. , but the hearing status has not improved. She thought she would become a hearing-impaired person in the rest of her life, so she found Dr. Yang Longjun through a friend’s introduction. Dr. Yang first diagnosed and evaluated the treatment process suitable for Ms. Lin. Through scalp acupuncture twice a week and ear acupuncture treatment, she recovered completely in half a year. hearing status.

Avoid high risk factors to reduce the incidence of ear stroke

Dr. Yang Longjun pointed out that the cause of ear stroke is still unclear, and the common possible causes are viral infection, vascular and lymphatic blockage, abnormal immune system or trauma. Viral infection refers to the virus infecting the inner ear, causing damage to the sensory or nerve cells of the inner ear; while vascular etiology is due to blockage or problems in the blood vessels perfusing the inner ear, resulting in insufficient inner ear blood flow and abnormal inner ear function.

In addition, Physician Yang Longjun reminded that the “three high groups” who often stay up late, suffer from excessive stress, have abnormal life schedules, have poor blood circulation, and suffer from high blood pressure, high blood fat, and high blood sugar are all high-risk groups who are prone to ear strokes . Generally speaking, as long as early detection and early treatment, most patients can recover their hearing. Dr. Yang Longjun suggested that the way to prevent “ear stroke” is to avoid and stay away from the above risk factors, which can naturally reduce the probability of future occurrence.

Do not ignore abnormal hearing symptoms and seek professional evaluation

Mild ear stroke symptoms are easily overlooked, because patients will only feel buzzing in their ears at first, and they can’t hear clearly; Dr. Yang Longjun said that some people even found that they could not hear in one ear when they answered the phone, and only when the symptoms were severe The other is deafness that cannot hear at all at the beginning, accompanied by symptoms such as tinnitus, dizziness, and ear fullness. Dr. Yang Longjun once treated a 70-year-old grandma. When she first suffered from sudden deafness, she was treated with steroids and hyperbaric oxygen in Western medicine, but her hearing still did not improve.

Later, I found Dr. Yang Longjun to treat with scalp acupuncture and auricular acupuncture, and gradually recovered my hearing status, and now I have almost completely recovered my hearing. Dr. Yang Longjun reminded that the earlier the recovery rate of any disease is, the more effective it will be. If there are abnormalities in the ears, a professional doctor should be evaluated and arranged for treatment, so as to avoid the adverse consequences of permanent hearing loss or even total deafness.
