Dr. Xu Gang
Firecracker-induced injury to the auditory nerve resulting in tinnitus can be treated under a physician’s guidance with neurotrophic and vasodilatory medications—such as mecobalamin dispersible tablets and ginkgo biloba drop pills. During oral medication therapy, adjunctive treatment with traditional Chinese medicine acupuncture may also be employed. In severe cases, intravenous administration of neurotrophic agents may be necessary to prevent further deterioration of the condition.
