Abstract

A review and critique of the research on acupuncture and transdermal electrostimulation therapy in treating sensorineural hearing loss is presented. Of 111 subjects in these studies were noted to exhibit a decrease in hearing sensitivity. Additional data collected at our clinics on four preschool hearing-impaired children failed to provide evidence of improvement following acupuncture. Similar results are reported with transdermal therapy, suggesting that both procedures are inappropriate for the treatment of sensorineural hearing loss.

摘要

本文对针刺疗法和经皮电刺激疗法治疗感音神经性听力损失的研究进行了综述与批判。在这些研究的111名受试者中，有部分受试者的听力敏感度有所下降。我们诊所收集的另外四名学龄前听力受损儿童的数据未能证明针刺治疗后有改善效果。经皮电刺激疗法也有类似的结果，这表明这两种疗法均不适用于治疗感音神经性听力损失。
