Abstract
To observe the clinical efficacy of acupuncture combined with hyperbaric oxygen
therapy in the treatment of idiopathic sudden deafness. Methods: Total 80 patients with idiopathic sudden
deafness were randomly divided into a control group and a treatment group, with 40 patients in each group. Both
groups received integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine drug treatment, while the treatment group
also received acupuncture and hyperbaric oxygen therapy. The average hearing threshold, clinical efficacy,
Tinnitus Handicap Inventory (THI), and Tinnitus Evaluation Questionnaire (TEQ) scores before and after
treatment were compared between the two groups. Results: The average hearing thresholds of both groups were
improved compared to before treatment (P<0.05), and the degree of improvement in the treatment group was
superior to that in the control group, with a statistically significant difference (P=0.010). The effective rate was
55.0% in the control group and 77.5% in the treatment group, with the clinical effective rate in the treatment
group being higher than that in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (χ2
=4.530, P=
0.030). There was no statistically significant difference in TEQ and THI scores before and after treatment in the
control group, while there was a statistically significant improvement in TEQ and THI scores after treatment in
the treatment group (P<0.05). Conclusion: Acupuncture combined with hyperbaric oxygen therapy in the
integrated treatment of idiopathic sudden deafness can effectively alleviate tinnitus symptoms, improve hearing
levels, and increase the clinical effective rate.
