The authors used “Cepharanthin” for the 90 cases who complained of tinnitus aurium; the 12 cases after tympanoplasty, 15 cases of combined deafness and 63cases of nerve deafness. Internally 3-6 mg tablets or powder of it was given to the patient a day and by injection 5-10mg of it.
The results were as follows:
1) Tinnitus was improved in 41.6% of the 12 cases after tympanoplasty, in 33.3%of the 15 cases accompained by combined deafness, and in 26.6% of the 63 cases suffering from nerve deafness.
2) It was more effective in tinnitus accompanied by conductive deafness than by nerve deafness.
3) Its injectional use was more effective than its internal use.
