[Professor <i>SUN Hua</i>'s clinical experience of acupuncture for subjective tinnitus].

This article introduces Professor <i>SUN Hua</i>'s clinical experience of acupuncture for treating subjective tinnitus. Professor <i>SUN</i> advocates combining meridian differentiation, syndrome differentiation, and disease differentiation in clinical practice. For excess syndrome of subjective tinnitus, acupuncture aims to unblock the <i>shaoyang</i> meridian and regulate <i>qi</i> and blood. For deficiency syndrome, the focus is on tonifying the <i>yin</i> and essence of liver and kidney. Emphasizing the importance of calming the <i>shen</i> (mind), Professor <i>SUN</i> employs a three-pronged approach: using the "four <i>shen</i> regulating needles" to calm the mind, the Siguan points (Hegu [LI 4] and Taichong [LR 3]) to regulate <i>qi</i> movement of the internal organs, and Shenmai (BL 62) and Zhaohai (KI 6) to balance <i>yin</i> and <i>yang</i>, treating both the physical and psychological aspects to effectively alleviate tinnitus.
