ABSTRACT
Tinnitus is the abnormal perception of sound in the absence of a corresponding external acoustic stimulus, which seriously affects the patients' quality of life, physical and mental health, and the safety of life. There is almost no effective cure for tinnitus, primarily due to its complicated etiopathogenesis and unclear mechanisms. As a major and ancient physical therapy in Traditional Chinese Medicine, acupuncture has been widely used in tinnitus because of its simple operation, rapid effect, and low cost. This paper reviews the relevant literature on the treatment of different kinds of tinnitus by acupuncture, and summarizes the therapeutic efficacy and mechanism of acupuncture on tinnitus, which is expected to provide new ideas and research directions for the study of tinnitus treatment by acupuncture.
