Abstract:
Tinnitus is recognized as a refractory disease, which is common in clinic, and always treated from the liver and kidney. We treat tinnitus mainly by heart based on syndrome differentiation. It often works well when the leftpulse is abnormal. Referring to ancient literature, we find that the heart is related to ears by meridians, and the kidney and heart govern ears. The normal function of heart and kidney means normal hearing. The heart secretes atrial natriuretic polypeptins (ANP), whose receptor is widely distributed in ears and can increase the cochlear blood flow. In this paper we explore the relationship between the heart and the ears so as to provide theories of treatment by heart for tinnitus.
