Tinnitus is extremely common in KL & Bukit Jalil.
In TCM, tinnitus is not simply an “ear problem” —
it reflects Liver–Kidney imbalance, Qi stagnation, dampness, or insufficient circulation.
How TCM Understands Tinnitus

The Kidney “opens to the ears”
low-pitched tinnitus
worse at night
lower back soreness
2 Liver Fire / Stress-Induced Tinnitus
louder during stress
irritability
poor sleep
3 Dampness Accumulation
ear fullness
heavy head
worse in humid weather
4 Qi–Blood Deficiency
tinnitus + dizziness
palpitations
pale complexion
5 Neck Tension / Posture-related
tinnitus changes with movement
tight shoulders
common in office workers
