Pink noise in both ears is given to tinnitus patients. The pink noise is removed by notch filter from tinnitus frequencies that are 20 decibel higher than the threshold.

Three stimulation points were selected for each ear of tinnitus patients, namely ear door (CN.V), auditory Palace (CN.VII) and Yifeng (C2/3). The stimulation intensity should be needle-sensed.

The patient sat on a rotating chair with sinusoidal harmonic acceleration and rotated without causing the greatest frequency of discomfort.

Combination of auditory and somatic stimulation for tinnitus patients

Combination of auditory and vestibular stimulation for tinnitus patients

The patients were recruited to record their medical history, and the hearing level, tinnitus indicators, vestibular function and tinnitus disability indicators were tested. Then the patients were randomly divided into six groups. They received the corresponding stimulation 20 minutes a day, 5 days a week for 3 weeks. After the last stimulation, the above tests were repeated immediately, one week later and three months later.

Assessment of hearing in patients

Detection of tinnitus frequency and loudness in patients

Tinnitus handicap inventory score was used to detect the degree of tinnitus.0-16 points without disability, 18-36 points with mild disability, 38-56 points with moderate disability and 58-100 points with severe disability. The 95% confidence interval is 20 points, that is, the difference between the two tests before and after the experiment is greater than or equal to 20 points.
