Discussion on Differentiation and Treatment of Sudden Hearing Loss by Traditional Chinese Medicine Based on the Classification of Hearing Curve
Pure-tone audiometry can be performed to evaluate the type and degree of hearing loss, whose results can be divided into four types including low-frequency descending, high-frequency descending, flat descending and total deafness. The low-frequency descending type of sudden hearing loss (SHL) is more likely to be spleen deficiency and dampness exuberance, the high-frequency descending type is often due to
yin
deficiency of liver and kidney, the flat descending type is commonly associated with
qi
and blood depletion, and the type of total deafness is often linked to blood stasis. Our team has further developed a comprehensive diagnostic and therapeutic approach for SHL, emphasizing "the integration of disease and syndrome, the combination of acupuncture and herbal medicine, and dynamically administering treatment". Firstly, it advocates integrating disease diagnosis with syndrome differentiation. Secondly, it recommends combining acupuncture and herbal medicine, with local acupoints such as Ermen (TE 21), Tinggong (SI 19), Tinghui (GB 2), and Yifeng (TE 17) used to unblock the auditory orifice, and herbal prescriptions tailored to the hearing curve patterns. For the low-frequency descending type, it is recommended to fortify the spleen and percolate dampness by taking distal points of spleen channel and stomach channel and using
Shenling Baizhu Powder
(参苓白术散). For the high-frequency descending type, the method of nourishi
ng kidney and calming liver is recommended, using distal points of kidney and liver channels and taking
Erlong Zuoci Pills
(耳聋左慈丸). Regarding the flat descending type, tonifying
qi
and nourishing blood is advised, for which acupoints of
Conception Vessel, spleen, stomach and large intestine channels can be needled, and
Yiqi Congming Decoction
(益气聪明汤) can be administered. For the total deafness type, it is recommended to activate blood and dissipate stasis, often with Xuehai (SP 10) and Geshu (BL 17) needled and
Tongqiao Huoxue Decoction
(通窍活血汤) administered. All these are conducted to treat the root and branch simultaneously. At the same time, it emphasizes the need to consider complex syndrome presentations and disease progression, dynamically analyze the disease causes and mechanisms, and adjust treatment according to the changing syndromes. In conclusion, this article is expected to inspire clinical diagnosis and treatment of SHL.
