1Where is Tinghui?

On the face, in the hollow between the jaw's condylar process and the notch below the tragus (intertragic notch).

It lies directly below SI19; opening the mouth opens the hollow just in front of the notch.

Beneath the point

Mandible · Temporal bone · Superficial temporal veins

Our 3D measurement · In our 3D model: skin at the height of the intertragic notch, 2 mm behind the posterior border of the mandible's condylar process — the same front-back rule as Tinggong (SI19), so it sits directly below it (1.1 mm offset).

2How do I find it on my body?

Find the V-shaped notch under the small flap in front of the ear canal — the intertragic notch.
Open the mouth: the jaw's condylar process slides forward.
Press the hollow that opens just in front of the notch.

📖 Words explained

intertragic notch: The small notch below the ear canal, between the tragus and the bump opposite it (antitragus).
superficial temporal veins: The veins that collect blood from the temple and run down in front of the ear, alongside the superficial temporal artery.
temporal bone: The skull bone on the side of the head around the ear. The ear canal and the bump behind the ear (mastoid process) are on it, and it forms the jaw joint with the mandible.

3Before you press

⚠ Do not press when

This sits right beside the jaw joint — press lightly, and stop if the jaw catches or hurts.
Avoid broken or swollen skin and press only to a comfortable level.
Acupressure is not a substitute for medical care.

4How has it been used traditionally?

A Gallbladder meridian point just in front of the ear; no extra classical category is attached to it in the lists we checked.
The name is usually translated as 'Hearing Convergence'.

From traditional texts — not a claim of effect.
