Was given a different set of pills for my ears on the 4th session.
Experienced some louder tinnitus after 3 or 4 days after the 4th session.
But it has gotten softer now again.
Unrelated Note: Sinus in the morning has disappeared.

TKC TCM Clinic Session 2 - 14 Feb 2019
Similar treatment to the first session.
The physician did not remember me though.
He related that he had a TCM Doctor friend who also suffered SSHL recently.
And that he had improved with a specific acu point that he had targeted for him.
He stressed that I must persist in the treatment even though it may be long and arduous.
And he thinks that it's curable/treatable.

Tan Kok Chuan Chinese Physician and Acupuncture Clinic Session 1 - 12 Feb 2019
Went for my first session at this clinic today. Found out about this clinic via a Facebook group that recommended good tcms around the east area.
I was given a medical consultation, followed by a physical neck probe.
They found something wrong with the right side of my neck.
Next my neck was manipulated and "cracked"
Following that, I was acupunctured and placed under a infra red lamp for 20 minutes.
And had a tuina session around my left face and neck area.
I was given some medication and I think he mentioned it was "Tian Ma".
And asked to return 3 days later as my condition is considered acute and needs regular follow up.
According to the SinSeh, he seemed to have more patients coming to him for SSHL recently.
And while he was administering acupuncture on me, he was talking to his colleague about which area to place the needle. He mentioned he had done that area for someone else with SSHL before and seen some success.
The receptionist sort of implied that recovery is possible. Which I think it probably happened to someone else who visited here before.
I listened and sighed.
I do not expect to have a full recovery at this point, and I am just hoping for some improvement in my hearing and tinnitus.

Sian Chay Medical Institution - Geylang 692 Visit 2
Went for my 2nd visit to the SC Geylang branch on 1st Feb 2019.
Even though I met up with the same doctor, he did not seem to recognize me.
This time round, he sounded less positive towards my condition.
And told me that this ear problem is hard to treat.
He says the acupuncture and medicine won't really help and did not seem interested in helping me further.
It's rather disheartening to hear these feedback from him, since I made a trip all the way down there to seek medical advice from him.
In my heart, it kinda hurts to hear him to say those words.
Yet there must be some truth towards what he said.
But it could also be due to his lack of knowledge on this area.
And so this is all he can do to help me.
I will not give up on the TCM route despite this setback.
He still gave me acupuncture and meds after the consultation though.
I do not feel any different after the treatment or meds.
Though there are some very slight improvement in my MIMI hearing test as shown below.
