Audiological evaluation following acupuncture for hearing loss. 1975

J M Davis, and D E Krapp, and M L Wilder, and C F Lawrence

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.
