足少阴，肾之经，宗脉之所聚，其气通于耳。其经脉虚，风邪乘之，风入于耳之脉
，使经气痞塞不宣，故为风聋。风随气脉，行于头脑，则聋而时头痛，故谓之风聋。
足少阴，肾之经，宗脉之所聚。其气通于耳。劳伤于肾，宗脉则虚损，血气不足，故
为劳聋。劳聋为病，因劳则甚。有时将适得所，血气平和，其聋则轻。
足少阴，肾之经，宗脉之所聚。其气通于耳。劳伤于肾，宗脉虚损，血气不足，为
风邪所乘，故成耳聋。劳伤甚者，血气虚极，风邪停滞，故为久聋。
肾气通于耳，足少阴，肾之经，宗脉之所聚。劳动经血，而血气不足，宗脉虚，风邪
乘虚随脉入耳，与气相击，故为耳鸣。
诊其右三手脉，寸口名曰气以前脉，浮则为阳，手阳明大肠脉也；沉则为阴，手太阴肺
肺也。阴阳俱虚者，皮为血气虚损，宗脉不足，病苦耳鸣嘈嘈，眼时妄见光，此是肺与大肠
俱虚也。
右手尺中神门以后脉，浮为阳，足太阳膀胱脉也。虚者，膀胱虚也。肾与膀胱合，病苦
耳鸣，忽然不闻，时恶风。膀胱虚则三焦实也。膀胱为津液之府，若三焦实，则克消津液，
克消津液，故膀胱虚也。耳鸣不止，则变成聋。
耳者，宗脉之所聚，肾气之所通。足少阴，肾之经也。劳伤血气，热乘虚也，入于其经
，邪随血气至耳，热气聚则生脓汁，故谓之 耳。
足少阴经是肾的经脉，也是众多经脉汇聚之处，其经气与耳相通。如果该经脉虚弱，风邪便会趁机侵袭，风邪进入耳部的脉络，导致经气痞塞不通畅，因此形成风聋。风邪随着气脉运行至头脑部位，就会出现耳聋并伴有间歇性头痛的症状，所以称之为风聋。
足少阴经是肾的经脉，也是众多经脉汇聚之处。其经气与耳相通。如果因劳累损伤了肾脏，众多经脉就会虚损，导致血气不足，因此形成劳聋。劳聋这种病症，在劳累时症状会加重。如果在适当的时候调养得当，使血气恢复平和，那么耳聋的症状就会减轻。
足少阴经是肾的经脉，也是众多经脉汇聚之处。其经气与耳相通。如果因劳累损伤了肾脏，众多经脉虚损，血气不足，此时若被风邪乘虚而入，就会造成耳聋。如果劳伤严重，导致血气极度虚弱，风邪停滞体内，就会形成久聋（长期不愈的耳聋）。
肾气与耳相通，足少阴经是肾的经脉，也是众多经脉汇聚之处。如果因劳动耗伤了经血，导致血气不足，众多经脉空虚，风邪便乘虚沿着经脉进入耳中，与体内的气相互搏击，因此产生耳鸣。
诊察右手三部脉象，寸口处名为“气”之前的脉位，脉浮属于阳脉，对应手阳明大肠经；脉沉属于阴脉，对应手太阴肺经。如果阴阳两脉都虚弱，说明皮肤和血脉的气血受损，众多经脉不足，患者苦于耳鸣声嘈杂，眼睛时常幻觉见到光芒，这是肺经和大肠经都虚弱的表现。
诊察右手尺部神门穴以后的脉位，脉浮属于阳脉，对应足太阳膀胱经。脉虚表明膀胱虚弱。肾与膀胱相表里，患者苦于耳鸣，突然听不见声音，且时常怕风。膀胱虚弱则会导致三焦实证。膀胱是津液储存的府库，如果三焦实证，就会消耗津液，因为津液被消耗，所以表现为膀胱虚弱。如果耳鸣不止，最终会演变成耳聋。
耳朵是众多经脉汇聚之处，也是肾气通达的部位。足少阴经是肾的经脉。如果因劳累损伤了血气，热邪乘虚而入，进入经脉，邪气随着血气到达耳部，热气聚集则生成脓汁，所以称之为耳疳（或耳疮，原文此处可能有缺字或通假，通常指耳中生疮流脓之症，结合上下文“生脓汁”，译为耳部化脓性疾病）。
The Foot-Shaoyin meridian is the channel of the Kidney, where the major vessels converge, and its qi connects with the ear. If this meridian is deficient, wind-pathogens take advantage of the weakness to invade. When wind enters the meridians of the ear, it causes the meridian qi to become obstructed and unable to circulate freely, thus resulting in Wind Deafness (Feng Long). As wind travels along the qi and meridians to the head and brain, it causes deafness accompanied by intermittent headaches; hence it is called Wind Deafness.
The Foot-Shaoyin meridian is the channel of the Kidney, where the major vessels converge. Its qi connects with the ear. If labor and overwork injure the Kidney, the major vessels become deficient, leading to insufficiency of blood and qi, thus resulting in Labor-induced Deafness (Lao Long). This condition worsens with exertion. However, if one rests appropriately and achieves a state of balanced blood and qi, the hearing loss will alleviate.
The Foot-Shaoyin meridian is the channel of the Kidney, where the major vessels converge. Its qi connects with the ear. If labor and overwork injure the Kidney, causing deficiency of the major vessels and insufficiency of blood and qi, and if wind-pathogens invade during this vulnerable state, deafness ensues. In cases of severe injury from labor, where blood and qi are extremely depleted, wind-pathogens stagnate, resulting in Chronic Deafness (Jiu Long).
Kidney qi connects with the ear, and the Foot-Shaoyin meridian is the channel of the Kidney, where the major vessels converge. If physical labor depletes the blood within the channels, leading to insufficiency of blood and qi and deficiency of the major vessels, wind-pathogens may invade the ear through the meridians while the body is weak. The wind interacts with the internal qi, thus causing Tinnitus (Er Ming).
Upon examining the pulse at the Cun Kou position on the right hand (specifically before the Qi point), a floating pulse indicates Yang, corresponding to the Hand-Yangming Large Intestine meridian; a deep pulse indicates Yin, corresponding to the Hand-Taiyin Lung meridian. If both Yin and Yang pulses are deficient, it signifies damage to the skin and blood/qi, and insufficiency of the major vessels. The patient suffers from noisy tinnitus and visual hallucinations of light. This indicates deficiency in both the Lung and Large Intestine meridians.
At the Chi position on the right hand, posterior to Shenmen, a floating pulse indicates Yang, corresponding to the Foot-Taiyang Bladder meridian. A deficient pulse here indicates Bladder deficiency. Since the Kidney and Bladder are interiorly-exteriorly related, the patient suffers from tinnitus, sudden hearing loss, and aversion to wind. Bladder deficiency leads to Excess in the Sanjiao (Triple Burner). The Bladder is the mansion of body fluids; if the Sanjiao is in an excess state, it consumes these fluids. Consequently, the depletion of fluids manifests as Bladder deficiency. If tinnitus persists, it may progress to deafness.
The ear is where the major vessels converge and where Kidney qi penetrates. The Foot-Shaoyin meridian is the channel of the Kidney. If labor and overwork injure blood and qi, heat pathogens invade due to the deficiency, entering the meridians. The pathogenic factors follow the blood and qi to the ear. When heat accumulates, it generates pus and fluid, thus resulting in Ear Carbuncle/Suppuration (Er Gai, referring to suppurative ear disease).
