  • Title: Audiological evaluation following acupuncture for hearing loss.
    Author: Davis JM, Krapp DE, Wilder ML, Lawrence CF.
    Journal: Laryngoscope; 1975 Dec; 85(12 pt 1):2047-54. PubMed ID: 1202308.
    Abstract:
    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.
