...too hopeful, as it could always go up again. But it's been better to the point where I'm forgetting about it, at times. Perhaps it's the acupuncture combined with the neck release work I'm doing. My neck was bad last Saturday, and the tinnitus went crazy. Got up Sunday with the neck loads...

By now I have quack test , I ask them about Tinnitus , if they pause, look at their "chinese" acupuncture chart that they all seem to have and say " the liver" is connected to the ears , I know they are clueless.

...steroids at 5 day and antiviral after two days due to complications. I fully recovered from Bell's Palsy. I had included 4 sessions of acupuncture, massage and chiropractic during the Bell's Palsy. On April 1, 2022 pulsatile tinnitus started and it has not left. I’ve been told many things...

...also sound distortion, nausea, and vertigo. My MRI was clear. I did antibiotics, steroids, muscle relaxers - nothing is really helping. Acupuncture, physical therapy, chiropractor. Some relief of pain and soreness in my jaw but the distorted sounds continue which rob me of my livelihood as a...

Acupuncture to T is a joke. They keep treating for gastrointestinal problems. May be 1000 years ago, T could have been for such issues, but today it is nothing but a joke. Sadly this doesn't come with a money-back guarantee.

LadyDi, Could you elaborate on the supplements and medications and how they helped? I have tried acupuncture for othr things, did it help you? How did the Neuronomics work for you? Thank you. Willowman

I've tried acupuncture, too. For me, the tinnitus stayed the same (no change), but it was soothing and calming. It might be worthwhile just for that alone. Since he has Meniere's, it might help with his balance, etc. Best wishes, Karen

For therapy I have taken ginkgo biloba daily, 120 mg, avoid salt and caffeine as much as possible, work out doing cardio almost daily. As stated above, I have had 3 sessions of acupuncture but Im not confident about the results.

Thank you, I hope that helps for you. I've tried so much. I even convinced my ENT to prescribe me Potiga (trobalt) a few months ago, but I couldn't get it filled since insurance refused to cover it and it was really expensive. But I was ready to try anything.

Hi Carlyi, I was wondering how your T was doing. I've had T on and off for the last 2+ years and I believe it's related to my neck and jaw. I'm trying acupuncture for the first time Friday. Trying to stay optimistic.

I used Clonazepam, at a dose of 1.5 mg taken 1 hour before bed, for several years while concurrently doing acupuncture, craniosacral therapy, hypnosis, Ayurvedic herbs, and TRT with maskers. My catastrophic hyperacusis took over a year to diminish. The catastrophic tinnitus took several years to...

I'm talking about traditional Chinese acupuncture, with needles. It's very nice, very relaxing. I think they say it is due to "kidney" malfunction, because traditional Chinese medicine understand the body as a whole, and it is a bit weird in its diagnosis, I know... but that's the way it is...

...bad with my tinnitus lately. One of my breakdowns happened in front of my family members and now they are insisting that I should try acupuncture, because XY got good results for their totally unrelated issues (joint pain, if I recall correctly). I'm firmly on the opinion that it does not...

...a very simple way of relieving some of the ensuing anxiety and unhappiness. I can promise you that it helps. You will know about acupuncture I am sure - well there is a diy adaptation - acupressure - which is simply applying finger pressure to known acupuncture points - very easy to do -...

...reduced the volume in my left ear, which is the side where I have the most issues. A few hours after my doctor's visit, I went to my acupuncture appointment. I have two more appointments scheduled, as they seem to be helping; I have completed four sessions so far. During this session, I...

@antonio77: The fact that the acupuncturist elicited or aggravated your symptoms suggests that he hit a trigger point responsible for your symptoms at least in part. I think this is very encouraging and you should try acupuncture again or Trigger Point therapy (manual therapy).

...any theory why we develop several tones of tinnitus? Why some are tonal, others more similar to "white noise"? I have had 4 sessions of acupuncture, but I'm also under some stress from the tinnitus and I haven't seen any improvement with acupuncture. What do you think of the Neurofeedback...

...I was drained and in TCM my "protective' forces were low. In the immediate weeks after I tried a few things to help with the tinnitus, acupuncture and hyperbaric oxygen treatment. None of those seemed to affect the tinnitus but they do help with my other health issues. About a 7 or 8 weeks...

Just curious, what are your thoughts on TRT?

...that tinnitus is such an extremely complex condition that scientists are still learning lots about it on the reg. Your tinnitus took the acupuncture well - somehow your nervous responded extremely well to it. I have my own pet theories why acupuncture seems to work so great for some people...

...high doses of Gabapentin, anti-anxiety meds, marijuana, and alcohol. Nothing has helped. I tried meditation, diet changes, Reiki, and acupuncture. Nothing helps except sleep and no noise period. At this point my marriage is in shambles. I need to quit my job. Anyone have anything that works?

Thanks for the tip about violet noise. I live in China and went to see an acupuncturist. They admitted the changes would be slight and take time. In all, they seemed to indicate acupuncture is of small but limited use. But if it helps, go for it.

...life taken away from me. I've not been able to do anything really for the last three months. What is worse is that I didn't even need the acupuncture in the first place, it was just a tiny bit of ringing that I had for not even two weeks. I had visited the audiologist and it was more about...

...with Bluetooth through which I play ocean sounds on or TinnitusPlay app's water sound, Ayurveda (panchakarma), craniosacral treatment, acupuncture, minimizing caffeine, regular sleep pattern, and I'm still using Klonopin and Gabapentin. Unfortunately, I had 2 acoustic traumas this year that...

Starting to work for me. I’ve been doing acupoints & acupuncture with electrical stimulation since June. After today’s treatment I had near silence. Probably won’t last but it shows we can get there. I’ve gone for treatment twice a week for at least 2 hours a day. I pray this treatment works...

@ZZZK thank you for your reply. What do you mean by fasting most of the day? I'm getting an MRI done Friday to rule out any other causes. Mine has still been relentless. Have any of you tried acupuncture or a chiropractor? Thanks again, Aimee

I can be a very negative person after years of ill health but this forum can take the biscuit. The point is his tinnitus resolved after a decade. Bloody hell!!

To be more topical, I signed up for SimplyBetter, and I'm not very impressed with it, looks like pseudoscience bullshit to me (which doesn't mean it might not be helpful to certain people for certain things... but so is homeopathy and reiki and acupuncture).

I have seen 3 acupuncturists. None have helped. It actually made it spike more with the 1st. Same with Cranial Sacral Therapy, tried 2 therapists. These were covered under my plan. I did stay with the 3rd who I call the "Chi Master". I get a 2 hour acupuncture & cupping. I do find it relaxing.

I tried acupuncture for months. Though it made me feel more relaxed then I ever have been in my life, it did nothing for my T. For relaxation, treating anxiety and stress, I give it an "A+".... For T, I give it an "Incomplete"

Yeah I went in the third day and my 10/10 pain went to a 5. It’s more temporary but it seems accumulative. I felt that too after my first appointment. I felt my mentality and entire mindset change, it felt like I was reborn. Stuff is no joke. It helps.

...Sinuses and ears seem to be very connected. I hope you've found ways to lower your stress--I've heard great things about acupuncture for stress relief and also tinnitus. Guided meditation and calm music also help a great deal. Wishing you a good new year and good health my friend. Steph

Good luck hope it goes well for you, I have had 3 acupuncture treatments for T, it has helped with sleep and anxiety. Very expensive here and my insurance does not help defer the cost. Will need to find other methods to control my stress.

...things, it's sort of hard to separate one from another. It certainly doesn't sound dangerous, though! A Lots of people have tried acupuncture; there is not good evidence to suggest that it's helpful for tinnitus. But, acupuncture is basically the same thing as "dry needling" which has become...

Yes, I think it has diminished. I'm not so bothered by it during the day any more. It's in the evening that I have the worst problems. I'm not giving up, though! Will continue using the UST daily, taking vitamins and herbs, acupuncture, etc.

...from some moderate arthritis in my neck. Neurology thought it was concussion causing my light sensitivity and also my hyperacusis, but this is not the case. I see an osteopath weekly who also does acupuncture as well. Nerve blocks help my severe occipital pain but this hearing is something else

@Dana Hi Dana, I believe I have the same issue you once had.. TMJ/neck issues causing tinnitus when i protrude my jaw out, chew food, etc. Can you please let me know what yuo did to cure your T? Thanks! Trying acupuncture Friday

@glynis Thank you for the reply! Fortunately I still hear from my other ear, so having some music in the background helps a little. I will start meditating. I have done acupuncture and seems to work too, however, I do not know why.

...inflamed. Not sure if he's actually correct about that, as all he did was rub my head for and spine for 30 minutes, but he recommended acupuncture. I'm personally enthusiastic about it, and so are my parents, but I'm asking here to see if anyone has anything to say about it? Obviously I'm...

@Lane I had been to acupuncture right after my tinnitus onset. However I didn't have hyperaucis at that time, maybe very mild hyperacusis but nothing serious. I didn't have any improvement on my tinnitus. But maybe it can help hyperacusis. For how long have you been pain free?

...posts. Yes I agree there is something to Chiro for sure. I go to my Chiro about every six weeks and I have started to incorporate acupuncture as well. I do acupuncture once a week. My acupuncturist is helping me with the TMJ/TMD, my ears, anxiety, and monthly female issues. I have been...

Benzos. Acupuncture. Therapy Let see put it this way. I've had this crap for a couple years. I have scoured every treatment possible. I refused TRT, as I blew threw my savings for doctors, benzos, conventional therapy, hypnosis, acupuncture, chiropractic, cranial sacral, What is the...

Anything that reduces your stress levels should reduce tinnitus. That could be a good holiday. ..changing to a less stressful job or being treated and cared for by another individual eg an acupuncture practitioner. The longer I have T the more important I realise the psychological component is.

...for the treatment of tinnitus are way, way more scientifically sound than Dr. Shore's Auricle device, which is basically glorified acupuncture from what I read of it (please correct me if I'm wrong). A Kv.7.2/3 channel opener has been proven to help prevent the emergence of tinnitus in mice...

@Nics2drescue , I have had it done to knees and ankles and back and been ok and done for pain. Acupuncture is not a fixed cure for tinnitus and only short term reduction for some people but can be relaxing and for pain also. Love glynis x

Hello! I am not sure what caused me to have a "quiet tinnitus" day but I have been trying a mix of: Acupuncture: the next day, tinnitus was quieter all day. Antioxidants: I read that you can try adding antioxidants to your diet to help combat the toxins from the SSRIs. I have been drinking pom...

...a somewhat different tinnitus sound in the left ear but things seem to be calming down. When I first got tinnitus and hyperacusis, I did Acupuncture, Ayurvedic treatment, Klonopin and TRT. I added Hypnosis and Craniosacral therapy. Now I take Ayurvedic herbs, get Acupuncture once every two...

...know what to do or where to turn so like many others I tried everything I could. Changed my diet, had MRI, took lipoflavnoids and did acupuncture. After the first two months I went back to eating what I liked as I could tell it was having no affect on my t. The only things I suspect it may...

...it happens. It’s important. The best relief I find is with masking; it not only covers the hissing/static/ringing sound but also relieves the strange head pressure that accompanies it (does anyone else have that pressure-like sensation, too?). I’m trying acupuncture, but I’m not seeing any...
