이명 클리닉
At SOOA, tinnitus isn't just "ringing in your ears" — we figure out why it's happening through traditional tongue diagnosis, classify it into one of four constitutional patterns, and create a treatment plan made just for you — using acupuncture, herbal medicine, and jaw therapy.
진단 방법
The tongue can tell us a lot about what's going on inside your body. By looking at its color, coating, and shape, we can determine the underlying constitutional imbalance causing your tinnitus — before a single needle is placed.

4가지 이명 유형
Tinnitus accompanied by anxiety, palpitations, insomnia, and a red tongue tip. Excess heat rises to the ears, causing high-pitched ringing.
Low-pitched, intermittent tinnitus with fatigue, poor memory, and a pale tongue. Heart blood deficiency fails to nourish the ear.
Sudden, loud tinnitus worsened by stress or anger, with headache and a red tongue with yellow coating. Liver fire flares upward to the ears.
Chronic, quiet tinnitus with blurred vision, dry eyes, and a pale or red tongue without coating. Liver blood deficiency deprives the ear of nourishment.
턱관절과 이명
A frequently overlooked cause of tinnitus is TMJ (temporomandibular joint) imbalance. When the jaw joint is misaligned, it can compress the trigeminal nerve — the largest cranial nerve, which shares pathways with the auditory system.
This compression creates referred signals perceived as ringing, buzzing, or pressure in the ears. At SOOA, we assess jaw alignment as part of every tinnitus consultation and offer integrated TMJ treatment alongside acupuncture and herbal therapy.
