Objective： To observe the clinical effects of the unilateral nervous tinnitus treated by He-Ne laser acupuncture.Methods： A total of 30 patients of unilateral nervous tinnitus were treated with He-Ne laser acupuncture.The disposable filiform needles of 0.40 mm × 25 mm were used. Ermén（耳门 TE 21）, Tīnggōng（听宫 SI 19）,Tinghui（听会 GB 2）, Yìfēng（翳风 TE 17）,Shuàigǔ（率谷 GB 8） and Zhōngzhǔ（中渚 TE 3） were adopted on the affected side. The input and output ends of the fiber-optic catheter of the laser instrument were connected at a pair of acupoints（TE 21 connect to SI 19, GB 2 connect to TE 17, GB 8 connect to TE 3）.Each pair of acupoints was stimulated with He-Ne laser irradiation for 10 min, 8-10 mW in the output power and 6328 A in the wavelength. The needles were retained for 30 min totally. The treatment was given once a day, 5 times a week, continuously for 2 weeks.Results： Of 30 cases, 19 cases were cured clinically, accounting for 63.3%（19/30）; 7 cases effective remarkably, accounting for 23.3%（7/30） and 4 cases failed, accounting for 13.3%（4/30）.Conclusion： He-Ne laser acupuncture achieves the satisfactory effects on treating nervous tinnitus and it is easily accepted by the patients.
