Six patients, diagnosed as having bilateral, sensori-neural hearing losses received audiological evaluations before and after acupuncture treatments. A comparison of mean pre- and post-treatment pure tone air conduction and speech reception thresholds indicated no significant improvement with respect to auditory acuity. Although most threshold shifts were within a +/- 5 db clinical error envelope, there was a general tendency for poorer hearing levels.
六名被诊断为双侧感音神经性听力损失的患者在针灸治疗前后接受了听力评估。治疗前和治疗后平均纯音气导和言语接受阈值的比较表明，听觉敏锐度没有显著改善。虽然大多数阈值变化在临床误差范围±5分贝内，但听力水平总体上有变差的趋势。
