Hearing loss occur when there is a problem with one or more parts of the ear or ears. This study investigated the effects of chiropractic manipulative therapy and mobilization on auditory of the young. Twenty and seven subjects with average age 20.9 years (18 males and 9 females) participated in this study. Subjects were divided into two groups: chiropractic manipulation-treated group (n=17) and mobilization-treated group (n=10). The Automated Micro Audiometer-Pure Tone Audiometry (Earlogic, Seoul, Korea) was used for auditory measurement at pre- and post-times. At pre-time, all subjects showed the normal hearing at most of hearing frequency in both ears, except 250Hz. Both groups showed the mild hearing loss of the left ear at 250Hz before treatments of chiropractic manipulation and mobilization. However, chiropractic manipulation and mobilization significantly reduced the decibels of hearing loss (dB HL) to the normal hearing level. In the present study, chiropractic manipulation and mobilization reduced the dB HL at all range of hearing frequency in the both ears of the young. These results support that chiropractic manipulation and mobilization may have the beneficial effects of auditory acuity of the young.
