Tinnitus is a common condition in the elderly. Its etiology is complex and there is no effective therapy. This case is a male, aged 69, afflicted with tinnitus for nearly a month. His chief complain is intermittent high pitch “hum” sound in his left ear accompanied by a slightly hearing loss. The symptoms are usually triggered by fatigue and exaggerated in quiet settings, thus interfering with his sleep.
Due to his elder-age and deficiency of kidney essence, the qi-blood of his left ear became imbalanced. The main strategies of treatment were to tonify yang to open the orifices, enrich the kidney and replenish yin. We used Jisheng-Shenqi-Wan and Yih-Chih-Tsong-Ming-Tang. Response of the patient to treatment was positive and continuous, symptom of tinnitus were significantly reduced improving patient’s life quality.
