Tinnitus is chronic disorder that occurs within our hearing system. Conventional medicine cannot provide any clear reasons for what causes it. The options open to patients through conventional medical treatments are very limited, in fact the only option that offers some hope of success is the “masking” method (overtones from another source of sound to cover up/mask the ringing). By contrast, scalp acupuncture has been successful in treating this disorder in its early stages (ideally under three months, and in some exceptional case up to one year). This therapy is supplemented with herbal medicines (Ginkgo Biloba and ready-prepared Chinese formulas).
