ABSTRACT
Tinnitus and sudden deafness are frequently encountered with various kinds of etiology in clinical practice. Many treatment protocols about these diseases have intcoduced until now, but they did not make us satisfiable. A new combined therapy of Laser and ginkgo-extract was tried to 39 patients with tinnitus and 21 patients with sudden deafness. The rationale of this trial is reactivation of decreased cell metabolism by stabilizing vascular wall, washing out toxic materials from blood and gene activation. The purpose of this study is to analyse clinical result of this trial and to provide the basic data for application of this therapy as a new treatment modality on inner ear disorders. Treatment with this trial had relatively good result even though all cases had already treatment failure with ordinary methods.
