　　Many elderly people are troubled by hearing loss. They often cannot hear other people's words clearly and cannot respond in time, leading to embarrassing scenes. Most people think this is a normal aging phenomenon, but it can actually be prevented and avoided. There are many ways to treat hearing loss, including drug treatment, self-exercise recovery, etc. Today I will introduce to you a set of self-massage methods to treat tinnitus.

　　Self-massage treatment for tinnitus

　　1. Ear pinching method

　　First rub the auricle, rub the helix, and rub the earlobe. Place your palm in front of the ear, flat against the face, push back evenly and rub behind the ear, then gently push the back of the ear forward from behind the ear, repeat this 24 times, until there is a feeling of heat in both ears. Use your food and thumb to rub up and down the edge of the auricle 36 times to cause the auricle to heat up. Use the thumbs and thumbs of both hands to rub the earlobes respectively. First, gently squeeze the earlobes for half a minute to make them red and hot. Then, grab the earlobes and pull them down, then let go to let the earlobes return to their original shape. Repeat 10 times.

　　2. Mingtiangu method

　　Choose a quiet place, stand or sit facing south, relax your whole body, be calm, close your eyes slightly, and enter the "Ming Tiangu" preparation state. Cover the outer auricles of both ears with your palms (because there are reaction areas and auricular points on the outer ears, the ears and the whole body can be tonic through massage), and tap your teeth during massage. Massage 18 to 36 times. After finishing, use your tongue to stir in the mouth to produce "Jin Jin Yu Ye", and then swallow the pill orally.

　　Cover both auricles with the palms of your hands to isolate the ear canals from the outside air. Place your fingers on the back of your head, with your fingertips tilted toward the occiput. Use the index fingers of both hands to brush the occipital part of your head about 18 to 36 times. You can hear a thumping sound like hitting a heavenly drum, also called Mingtiangu.

　　3. Palm ear shaking method

　　Rub your hands together to warm them up, place your palms against your ears, and then suddenly release them. You will hear a "bang" sound, which will have an ear-splitting effect, dozens of times in total.

　　Taking some time every day to do the above ear protection exercises will definitely improve your hearing loss. It also has the health-preserving effects of preventing ear diseases and regulating the whole body.
