It seems the condition is due to both kidney deficiency and deficiency of both qi and blood.
After diagnosing, Lu Jiu finally identified the root cause of Zhong Dewen's illness.
"If I may ask, was he often sick as a child and frequently caught colds?" Lu Jiu inquired.
Tao Yuting nodded repeatedly, "Yes, exactly, he was small at birth, and since we weren't very good at taking care of children, we over-dressed him in winter, causing him to sweat, and then he caught cold. That might have damaged his constitution back then. As a child, he almost always caught a cold during seasonal changes."
Lu Jiu continued, "And during his schooling, was his academic load particularly heavy? During middle school and high school, was the pressure especially intense?"
Talking about this, Tao Yuting's face was full of worry, "Isn't it true, in the year of his high school entrance exams, it was exactly the year schools were being divided into general and vocational tracks. The pressure was truly imnse. He could only sleep four or five hours a day. I watched him grow gray hair day by day. When he entered high school, he ranked forty-sothing in the class, compared to his usual ranking around 20th in middle school. Trying to catch up, he soon began experiencing problems with his ears, sigh!"
Lu Jiu nodded, "His condition stems from his weak constitution at birth, compounded by illnesses, leading to incomplete organ developnt. His body remained frail. Generally, surviving adolescence wouldn't hurt the roots, as kids recover quickly, but overburdening is detrintal. Furthermore, his hearing loss has been a gradual process. To recover, it's crucial to see if the upcoming treatnt is effective. If it is, we can continue to adjust, but you must be prepared that the adjustnt is a lengthy process."
Tao Yuting nodded, "Understood, understood. Dr. Lu, you go ahead with the treatnt, we'll definitely cooperate fully."
Lu Jiu smiled and formally began treating Zhong Dewen.
The prescription would naturally be given, but before that, acupuncture was necessary.
The "Classified Classics and Illustrations" states: "The ridians of the three yin and three yang of the hands and feet all enter the ears."
Therefore, the twelve ridians are closely related to the ears.
Acupuncture directly affects the ridians, opening the ear portals, adjusting qi and blood, dispersing external pathogens, and internally tuning the five viscera, treating both inside and outside.
Coupled with dication, its efficacy will definitely multiply.
As for acupuncture, main points generally include the Ear Gate, Hearing Palace, Hearing Assembly, Wind Screen, Central Islet, Outer Pass, Great Stream, and Tai Chong, along with selecting local and distal points based on different patients' symptoms.
From a modern dical perspective, the area near the Wind Screen point has a distribution of the posterior auricular artery and vein, and great auricular nerve.
The Hearing Palace and Hearing Assembly points are near the anterior branch of the superficial temporal artery and vein, and the third branch of the trigeminal auriculotemporal nerve.
Acupuncture at auricular points can clear the ear ridians, thereby improving blood circulation around the ears and nutritional status of the auditory nerves, achieving the therapeutic goal.
Lu Jiu used no special techniques, just ordinary insertions with balanced tonification and sedation.
The main effect was to induce qi upward, opening the ear portals to let qi and blood flow smoothly through the ridians to nourish the ear portals, achieving a rapid symptomatic treatnt effect.
This is also a major advantage of acupuncture.
Of course, apart from acupuncture and dication, emotional guidance is also very necessary.
Especially for a child like Zhong Dewen.
Don't think that just because he has only been suffering from tinnitus and deafness for a few years, these years haven't caused significant harm to his body and mind.
On one hand, there is the change in his own inner world, and on the other hand, there is his classmates' perception, but essentially it all cos from his inner world.
Because you can't change what others think, you can only change yourself.
After a few needles, the needles with the effect of tuning the spirit made Zhong Dewen feel particularly comfortable.
Though he couldn't hear what Lu Jiu and his mother were saying, he definitely knew that Lu Jiu was treating him.
In fact, he had been to the hospital many tis; each visit result was a blow to him.
In the past year or two, Zhong Dewen had resolved to be deaf for a lifeti.
So, for his already dark life, he chose to give up on himself.
Because for him, efforts were aningless!
What can a deaf person do?
This also made him more withdrawn and even, during the period of illness, engaged in so inappropriate activities.
No way, when the body is in a vicious cycle and kidney essence is severely depleted, kidney yang is not solid, desires can't be controlled, and people look for simple pleasures.
Zhong Dewen, being in adolescence, found simple pleasures in gas, novels, ani, among those only novels gave him boundless imaginative space.
But these days, when you open your phone to read novels, as soon you search for pirated versions, you're surely bombarded by so images or sites full of inappropriate content.
Can a teenager resist that?
Clearly not!
Hiss~~
Zhong Dewen suddenly felt a dull pain in his head.
The next mont, there was a sudden influx of noise around his ears, and he was a bit taken aback.
In the past year or so, all he could feel was silence, deathly silence, not even the annoying buzzing sound from before appeared anymore.
But now, he could actually hear so sounds. Although they seed muffled, and not very clear, there was finally sound.
"Does it hurt?" Lu Jiu asked.
Zhong Dewen imdiately turned to look at Lu Jiu, "…Yes."
He heard it!
He heard Lu Jiu ask him.
However, due to not speaking for a long ti, he could only mutter a single word in response.
But it was this single word that instantly broke Tao Yuting beside him.
She covered her mouth, tears gushed out.
At that mont, her tears surpassed all emotions.
The surrounding patients and their families, seeing this scene, also cheered.
So even couldn't believe that soone deaf for so many years could be cured by Lu Jiu with just a few needles.
Lu Jiu didn't continue speaking, just lowered his voice and asked, "What's your na?"
Zhong Dewen stuttered, "Zhong, Zhong... Dewen..."
Lu Jiu smiled, "Can you hear clearly when I talk now?"
Zhong Dewen nodded, "…Yes."
Lu Jiu pointed to Tao Yuting, "Call her Mom."
Zhong Dewen said, "Mom."
Tao Yuting was sobbing uncontrollably.
Outside the clinic room, Zhou Tongyuan, Wei Lele, and Jian Yongchang, who ca along with them, were also dumbfounded when they saw the scene.
Seeing that Lu Jiu was treating a patient, the three did not go in to disturb him and waited outside for him to finish so they could communicate with him.
Zhou Tongyuan also turned on the machine to capture so empty shots. Who would have thought that in just a few minutes, a deaf teenager restored his hearing after Lu Jiu administered a few needles.
For those who don't understand dicine, it almost seed like magic.
"Brother Yuan, Brother Yuan, did you capture those monts?" Wei Lele shook Zhou Tongyuan's arm with so excitent.
Zhou Tongyuan regretted not paying attention earlier, so he hadn't started continuous filming. The mont he heard Wei Lele's words, he imdiately realized he missed capturing a very real scene, but when he lifted the cara to his chest again, he found he hadn't stopped recording.
In other words, while holding the cara, he had captured the footage!
Oh wow!
Zhou Tongyuan imdiately switched to the directory and played the last clip.
Sure enough, he had recorded the footage, although the angle was a bit low, since the child was sitting, he fit right into the fra.
"Hahaha, look." Zhou Tongyuan imdiately handed the cara to Wei Lele.
Seeing that they had captured the scene, the two were thrilled. Such genuine footage was invaluable.
"Chairman Jian, could you please communicate with the kid, we won't interview the arranged contacts, just the mother and son!"
