Tinnitus and hyperacusis
symptom
About three weeks ago, I heard a high-pitched ringing in my right ear, so I went to an ENT doctor and was diagnosed with low-frequency hearing loss.
I was prescribed steroid infusions and medication, but my symptoms did not improve. My left ear became hypersensitive to sound, and noises from air conditioners and crowded places like supermarkets became irritating, making it difficult to sleep.
I've been feeling down lately because I haven't been able to sleep, and I've been feeling even worse due to dizziness and vomiting.
I came to this hospital after being recommended by an acquaintance.

Treatment and progress
The patient had always felt stiffness from the neck down to the shoulders and back, but the stiffness from the back of the head down to the shoulders and back became stronger a few days before the ear symptoms started. It was determined that this was one of the causes of the symptoms, and acupuncture was performed on related acupoints in the hands and feet, which reduced the stiffness by more than half.
I also noticed abdominal bloating during the physical examination, so I applied acupuncture to related points on the hands and buttocks. This reduced the bloating, made the patient aware of their shallow breathing, and significantly lessened the excessive tension in their body.
Through repeated treatments, I was able to get better quality sleep, and my ear symptoms gradually decreased and disappeared.

Summary
It is believed that the constant stress at work caused my body to become overly tense, which in turn led to a decline in sleep quality, and then further sleepless nights, resulting in the ear symptoms and abdominal bloating.
The more admirable and hardworking someone is, the higher the likelihood they will reach their physical limits and experience incredibly difficult days. I want to guide them in developing a body that can recognize physical abnormalities early on.
