Wind-cold deafness

风寒耳聋 〔風寒耳聾〕 fēng hán ěr lóng

Deafness attributed to wind-cold fettering the exterior, congealing in the channels, and blocking the ear orifices. Wind-cold deafness is associated with headache, aversion to cold, heat effusion, absence of sweating, nasal congestion, and tinnitus.

Medicinal therapy: Dispel cold with warm acrid medicinals; open the orifices and effuse sweat. Formulas such as Nine-Ingredient Notopterygium Decoction (九味羌活汤 jiǔ wèi qiāng huó tāng) may be used.

Acumoxatherapy: See deafness.
