Objectives: This study reports three cases of acute low-tone hearing loss (ALHL) that showed clinical improvement after combined Korean medicine treatment. Methods: Three ALHL patients who had insufficient response to initial steroid therapy were treated with Korean medicine interventions, including herbal medicine (Taeksa-tang gagam, Oryeong-san, Banhabakchulchunma-tang, Cheong-I Plus), acupuncture, and moxibustion. Clinical progress was evaluated by pure-tone audiometry (PTA) based on the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare (MHLW) recovery criteria, and by changes in subjective symptoms. Results: All three patients achieved Complete Recovery according to MHLW criteria, with marked improvement in tinnitus, aural fullness, dizziness, and hyperacusis. Conclusions: Combined Korean medicine treatment may serve as an effective complementary approach for early management and recurrence prevention in ALHL.
