- Abstract: Neuro-otologic disease (e.g. hearing loss, tinnitus, dizziness) are often difficult to treat because their mechanisms and causes are not fully understood and Western medical approaches are limited. This time, we report 3 cases with high-tone sensorineural hearing loss successfully treated with a Kampo formulation daisaikoto. When high-tone sensorineural hearing loss remains after treatment of acute sensorineural deafness, or for high-tone acute sensorineural deafness, a Kampo medicine approach including abdominal patterns has the potential to improve hearing as well as comorbid symptoms such as tinnitus.
