  • Title: Acupuncture and transdermal electrostimulation in the treatment of deafness.
    Author: Bess FH, Schwartz DM, Seestedt LI, McConnell FE.
    Journal: Pediatrics; 1975 Jun; 55(6):807-13. PubMed ID: 1079595.
    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.
