| Popis: | The use of acupuncture for treatment of sensorineural hearing impairment is a controversial subject among physicians and audiologists. Until recently, sufficient experimental data were not available to guide those who manage hearing-impaired children and adults. The purpose of this paper is to review current research evidence regarding the use of acupuncture technics for treating sensorineural hearing loss. In general, experimental evidence regarding such treatment is not encouraging. Patients should be advised of the questionable value of acupuncture for improving sensorineural auditory deficits. |
