I Can Talk to the Internal Organs-Chapter 290 - 256: Deafness, Immediate Results!

It seems the condition is due to both kidney deficiency and deficiency of both qi and blood.

After diagnosing, Lu Jiu finally identified the root cause of Zhong Dewen's illness.

"If I may ask, was he often sick as a child and frequently caught colds?" Lu Jiu inquired.

Tao Yuting nodded repeatedly, "Yes, exactly, he was small at birth, and since we weren't very good at taking care of children, we over-dressed him in winter, causing him to sweat, and then he caught cold. That might have damaged his constitution back then. As a child, he almost always caught a cold during seasonal changes."

Lu Jiu continued, "And during his schooling, was his academic load particularly heavy? During middle school and high school, was the pressure especially intense?"

Talking about this, Tao Yuting's face was full of worry, "Isn't it true, in the year of his high school entrance exams, it was exactly the year schools were being divided into general and vocational tracks. The pressure was truly immense. He could only sleep four or five hours a day. I watched him grow gray hair day by day. When he entered high school, he ranked forty-something in the class, compared to his usual ranking around 20th in middle school. Trying to catch up, he soon began experiencing problems with his ears, sigh!"

Lu Jiu nodded, "His condition stems from his weak constitution at birth, compounded by illnesses, leading to incomplete organ development. His body remained frail. Generally, surviving adolescence wouldn't hurt the roots, as kids recover quickly, but overburdening is detrimental. Furthermore, his hearing loss has been a gradual process. To recover, it's crucial to see if the upcoming treatment is effective. If it is, we can continue to adjust, but you must be prepared that the adjustment is a lengthy process."

Tao Yuting nodded, "Understood, understood. Dr. Lu, you go ahead with the treatment, we'll definitely cooperate fully."

Lu Jiu smiled and formally began treating Zhong Dewen.

The prescription would naturally be given, but before that, acupuncture was necessary.

The "Classified Classics and Illustrations" states: "The meridians of the three yin and three yang of the hands and feet all enter the ears."

Therefore, the twelve meridians are closely related to the ears.

Acupuncture directly affects the meridians, opening the ear portals, adjusting qi and blood, dispersing external pathogens, and internally tuning the five viscera, treating both inside and outside.

Coupled with medication, its efficacy will definitely multiply.

As for acupuncture, main points generally include the Ear Gate, Hearing Palace, Hearing Assembly, Wind Screen, Central Islet, Outer Pass, Great Stream, and Tai Chong, along with selecting local and distal points based on different patients' symptoms.

From a modern medical perspective, the area near the Wind Screen point has a distribution of the posterior auricular artery and vein, and great auricular nerve.

The Hearing Palace and Hearing Assembly points are near the anterior branch of the superficial temporal artery and vein, and the third branch of the trigeminal auriculotemporal nerve.

Acupuncture at auricular points can clear the ear meridians, thereby improving blood circulation around the ears and nutritional status of the auditory nerves, achieving the therapeutic goal.

Lu Jiu used no special techniques, just ordinary insertions with balanced tonification and sedation.

The main effect was to induce qi upward, opening the ear portals to let qi and blood flow smoothly through the meridians to nourish the ear portals, achieving a rapid symptomatic treatment effect.

This is also a major advantage of acupuncture.

Of course, apart from acupuncture and medication, emotional guidance is also very necessary.

Especially for a child like Zhong Dewen.

Don't think that just because he has only been suffering from tinnitus and deafness for a few years, these years haven't caused significant harm to his body and mind.

On one hand, there is the change in his own inner world, and on the other hand, there is his classmates' perception, but essentially it all comes from his inner world.

Because you can't change what others think, you can only change yourself.

After a few needles, the needles with the effect of tuning the spirit made Zhong Dewen feel particularly comfortable.

Though he couldn't hear what Lu Jiu and his mother were saying, he definitely knew that Lu Jiu was treating him.

In fact, he had been to the hospital many times; each visit result was a blow to him.

In the past year or two, Zhong Dewen had resolved to be deaf for a lifetime.

So, for his already dark life, he chose to give up on himself.

Because for him, efforts were meaningless!

What can a deaf person do?

This also made him more withdrawn and even, during the period of illness, engaged in some inappropriate activities.

No way, when the body is in a vicious cycle and kidney essence is severely depleted, kidney yang is not solid, desires can't be controlled, and people look for simple pleasures.

Zhong Dewen, being in adolescence, found simple pleasures in games, novels, anime, among those only novels gave him boundless imaginative space.

But these days, when you open your phone to read novels, as soon you search for pirated versions, you're surely bombarded by some images or sites full of inappropriate content.

Can a teenager resist that?

Clearly not!

Hiss~~

Zhong Dewen suddenly felt a dull pain in his head.

The next moment, there was a sudden influx of noise around his ears, and he was a bit taken aback.

In the past year or so, all he could feel was silence, deathly silence, not even the annoying buzzing sound from before appeared anymore.

But now, he could actually hear some sounds. Although they seemed muffled, and not very clear, there was finally sound.

"Does it hurt?" Lu Jiu asked.

Zhong Dewen immediately turned to look at Lu Jiu, "…Yes."

He heard it!

He heard Lu Jiu ask him.

However, due to not speaking for a long time, he could only mutter a single word in response.

But it was this single word that instantly broke Tao Yuting beside him.

She covered her mouth, tears gushed out.

At that moment, her tears surpassed all emotions.

The surrounding patients and their families, seeing this scene, also cheered.

Some even couldn't believe that someone deaf for so many years could be cured by Lu Jiu with just a few needles.

Lu Jiu didn't continue speaking, just lowered his voice and asked, "What's your name?"

Zhong Dewen stuttered, "Zhong, Zhong... Dewen..." 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

Lu Jiu smiled, "Can you hear me clearly when I talk now?"

Zhong Dewen nodded, "…Yes."

Lu Jiu pointed to Tao Yuting, "Call her Mom."

Zhong Dewen said, "Mom."

Tao Yuting was sobbing uncontrollably.

Outside the clinic room, Zhou Tongyuan, Wei Lele, and Jian Yongchang, who came along with them, were also dumbfounded when they saw the scene.

Seeing that Lu Jiu was treating a patient, the three did not go in to disturb him and waited outside for him to finish so they could communicate with him.

Zhou Tongyuan also turned on the machine to capture some empty shots. Who would have thought that in just a few minutes, a deaf teenager restored his hearing after Lu Jiu administered a few needles.

For those who don't understand medicine, it almost seemed like magic.

"Brother Yuan, Brother Yuan, did you capture those moments?" Wei Lele shook Zhou Tongyuan's arm with some excitement.

Zhou Tongyuan regretted not paying attention earlier, so he hadn't started continuous filming. The moment he heard Wei Lele's words, he immediately realized he missed capturing a very real scene, but when he lifted the camera to his chest again, he found he hadn't stopped recording.

In other words, while holding the camera, he had captured the footage!

Oh wow!

Zhou Tongyuan immediately switched to the directory and played the last clip.

Sure enough, he had recorded the footage, although the angle was a bit low, since the child was sitting, he fit right into the frame.

"Hahaha, look." Zhou Tongyuan immediately handed the camera to Wei Lele.

Seeing that they had captured the scene, the two were thrilled. Such genuine footage was invaluable.

"Chairman Jian, could you please communicate with the kid, we won't interview the arranged contacts, just the mother and son!"
