Core Tip	Al-hijamah is a useful treatment for a variety of local and systemic diseases. However, Al-hijamah is contraindicated over the body orifices. A 27-year-old gentleman presented with left-sided hearing loss and tinnitus was treated with a Al-hijamah over the left ear. The patient condition persist as well as there were signs of bleeding (fresh blood, clots, and hemotympanum). Secretary otitis media following upper respiratory tract infection was established on clinical background and audiological tests. He was treated successfully by avoidance of water entry, antibiotics, and decongestant. We don’t recommend the usage of Al-hijamah over the ear to treat hearing loss.
