Abstract

This study describes a case of sudden sensorineural hearing loss(SSNHL) accompanied with adjunctive symptoms including tinnitus and aural fullness. In this case, we evaluated the effect of Korean medicine treatment for SSNHL accompanied with adjunctive symptoms including tinnitus and aural fullness. We treated 1 SSNHL patient who had adjunctive symptoms of tinnitus and aural fullness. After Korean medical treatment for 9 days, two approaches were used in order to evaluate the effect of the treatment. The hearing recovery was measured with pure tone audiometry, and the decrease of tinnitus and aural fullness was identified by patient's subjective expression. After Korean medical treatments, clinical symptoms of SSNHL accompanied with adjunctive symptoms including tinnitus and aural fullness were considered improved. This study shows that the Korean medical treatment effects on the SSNHL accompanied with adjunctive symptoms including tinnitus and aural fullness.

고막 스테로이드 주사 치료에 잘 반응하지 않는 돌발성 난청 환자에게 신허(腎虛)로 인한 허롱(虛聾)으로 판단하고 삼일신기환(三一腎氣丸) 가미방(加味方)을 투여하고 수소양삼초경(手少陽三焦經)의 이문(耳門), 예풍(翳風), 외관(外關), 수태양소장경(手太陽小腸經)의 청궁(聽宮), 족소양담경(足少陽膽經)의 청회(聽會),완골(完骨),양백(陽白),협계(俠谿)를 선혈(選穴)하여 침(鍼)치료를 하였고 한약제를 이용한 증기치료를 시행하여 이명, 이충만감 등의 동반 증상의 호전을 확인하였으며 청력검사 상 경미하게 호전된 상태를 확인하였다. 이는 본 질환에 대한 한방치료의 유효성을 보여주는 것으로 생각된다.
