The etiology of tinnitus is complex, and distinguishing between excess syndrome and deficiency syndrome is the primary requirement for treatment and conditioning.
Dr. Guo Yourui from the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine of Tainan Municipal Hospital said that from the perspective of Chinese medicine, the physical types of tinnitus patients are very complicated, including qi deficiency and yang deficiency, as well as liver depression, dampness, qi stagnation, blood stasis and kidney deficiency. However, although the causes of tinnitus are various, Chinese medicine treatment can still be based on the difference of tinnitus sound and loudness.

Clinically, it is found that most positive tinnitus sounds belong to bass tones such as "wind" and "rumble", which are generally related to the exuberance of liver and gallbladder; Tinnitus due to deficiency syndrome is often manifested as cicada-like high-pitched sound in the ear, which is related to kidney deficiency, insufficient body fluid and qi and blood.
