description Nervous tinnitus is one of the most common hearing impairments, which seriously affects the physical and mental health of patients. We describe a case of a 31‐year‐old female with nervous tinnitus in this report. She suffered from bilateral tinnitus for more than 8 months with the symptoms of earache, anxiety, and sleep disorders at admission. Under the combined treatment of ultrasound‐guided stellate ganglion block and acupuncture at acupoints of the Ermen, Tinggong, Tinghui, and Yifeng, the patient recovered well and the symptoms such as tinnitus and earache disappeared gradually. This case may provide a reference for the subsequent clinical treatment of tinnitus.
