To explore the clinical efficacy of He's Santong acupuncture method in the treatment of tinnitus with hearing loss.
The 100 patients who were brought to our hospital between March 2023 and March 2025 with tinnitus and hearing loss were split into two groups at random: the control group (50 cases, 1 case excluded) and the intervention group (50 cases, 1 case excluded). The control group was treated with routine acupuncture and moxibustion, and the intervention group was treated with He's santong acupuncture method. Both groups were treated for 3 weeks. The clinical efficacy, tinnitus evaluation questionnaire (TEQ) score, tinnitus handicap inventory (THI) score, tinnitus visual analogue scale (VAS) score, average threshold of air permeability hearing, pittsburgh sleep quality index (PSQI) score, hospital anxiety and depression scale (HADS) score, and adverse reactions were compared between the two groups.
Following treatment, the control group's overall effective rate was 67.35% (33/49) and the intervention group's was 87.76% (43/49). The intervention group outperformed the control group in terms of overall effectiveness (P < 0.05). Treatment resulted in decreased scores for TEQ, THI, VAS, PSQI, HADS, and average threshold of air permeability hearing in both groups (P < 0.05), with the intervention group outperforming the control group (P < 0.05).
He's Santong method of acupuncture has a significant clinical effect in the treatment of tinnitus with hearing loss. It can significantly improve the patient's tinnitus symptoms, hearing level, sleep quality and anxiety and depression, and has high safety. It is suitable for application and promotion in clinical practice.
