So they must be educated in aspecial school. If there is any method torestore their hearing and let them talk freely toothers will be highly disired by these childrenand their families. In recent years many resourses have post-ulated that the acupuncture could get improve-ment of hearing in varied degrees. Ouracupuncture research group, supported by N.S.C.had done an experiment in Taipei city deafmuteschool from July 1974 to Nov. 1975. Weselected 304 students at random and dividedthem into 12 groups by various acupuncturetechniques. All subjects had given a physicalexamination of E.N.T. condition, family historytaking and pure tone audiometry before tre-atment. Follow up hearing test for comparisonwere done after each course of treatment (10times). About half of them had completed their3 treatment courses. And polytome tomography of temporal bonewas done on 50 cases. This examination mayreveal severe deformity of the labyrinthine de-velopment and may use as a reference for furthertreatment. Bacterial cultures from the spicemenof the external auditory canal were done on 35cases before, during and after treatment, but nosignificant change of these cultures can be found. The result is disappointing, Hearing im-proved only within 10-20 db about 6% of 150cases who had completed 3 courses of treatment.These children may hear more outside noisethan before but it is not helpful enough forthem to develop their speech function.
