Sudden deafness is caused by the deficiency of Kidney Qi, which allows Wind pathogen to invade. The pathogen binds with the meridians and ascends into the ear along the blood vessels. The healthy Qi fights against the pathogenic Qi, resulting in sudden deafness.

The ear is the gathering point of numerous meridians and the passage for Kidney Qi, belonging to the Foot-Shaoyin Kidney Meridian. If labor and fatigue damage the Qi and Blood, Heat pathogen enters the meridian due to deficiency. The pathogen follows the Qi and Blood to the ear; where Heat gathers, pus forms. This is referred to as an ear disease characterized by discharge.
