I tried acupuncture once and it just gave me a sore ear.

I dream of the day I can become dependent on a device that will give me my life back, rather than an endless stream of SSRIs, benzos, sound therapy, hearing aids, Lenire, acupuncture, endless supplements and CBT, all of which helped not one whit.

Yes I had H. pylori (with symptoms) and I got acupuncture and took an herbal formula the acupuncturist gave me. I don’t remember exactly because this was like five years ago but I think it took about three or four acupuncture treatments and maybe a month or so on the herbs and my symptoms were...

...than my usual tinnitus. The only exception is omega-3, which I’ve been taking for many years. Yesterday, I went for a massage with acupuncture, as my wife read it could help. My neck and back have been quite stiff lately. The massage ended up including some deep tissue work because the...

Had acupuncture today in my head, neck and around the ears. Not a relaxing experience.

Not sure if insurance covers it. My place is $105 a session. I am going twice a week.

I'm terrified of needles, so sadly I can't try it haha

@RonnieThailand, did you ever find out more about the acupuncture device? I wonder if my pulsatile somatosensory tinnitus would be helped by it.

Hi @Brian Newman -- I find acupuncture helps me as well. At one point it helped stop an episode of my ears burning after just one treatment. At other times, it helps bring a much deeper calm to my body and psyche, and my perception of tinnitus changes. From feeling like it's eating me alive, to...

...medicine) but stopped after two days due to high blood pressure. I also spoke to two people who have had positive results with TCM and acupuncture. One person told me that they didn’t realize that their tinnitus of about 5 years was gone after doing weekly sessions of acupuncture until...

Some guy's comment from Reddit. I definitely see the points he makes. It was too good to be true...

Do you have the link for the electro acupuncture?

So an umbrella review is a review study of review studies. Efficacy of acupuncture for tinnitus: an umbrella review Background: Tinnitus is a condition characterized by an annoying auditory phantom sensation with a heterogeneous etiology, often associated with an impairment of health-related...

Acupuncture doesn't work.

...amount of attitude adjustment can resolve that fully. Another way to enhance the body's production of GABA and improve sleep is through acupuncture. It is very safe and there are no side effects or risks of chemical dependency. Point #34 on the gall bladder channel is particularly helpful...

Thank you for sharing... I will show this to my TCM Doc tomorrow. Greets tomytl

Sorry about your foot problem, from someone who also has foot problems. Instead of pills, I use weekly acupuncture treatments. These treatments are very good at reducing inflammation. You might consider this. Good luck.

Here is one member's view on acupuncture which I agree. "My therapist told me that acupuncture helps mostly to people who have stress induced tinnitus (mostly businessmen and such). With other kinds of T, the process of healing is very slow and long. Sometimes it helps, sometimes it doesn't...

I'm sorry to hear that. What about doctors that do acupuncture? Melatonin is good for inducing sleep.

...barely sleeping and had to take a Benadryl after 5 hrs last night. I'm hearing a bunch of new sounds, too. I've been reading all of the acupuncture threads searching for hope. Some say they improved with acupuncture. Some say that they got worse before they got better. I cannot imagine...

When my hyperacusis was severe I had several acupuncture sessions at a Chinese clinic and it always relieved my symptoms although the relief was short lived, as hyperacusis would flare up again in the presence of noise...

...quite a few YouTube videos that demonstrate a number of points. My own acupuncturist who taught me how to do this says that 70% of acupuncture only involves about 6 major points. I'll try to find a video on those points that I regularly do. How and Why Acupuncture Works (Demonstration) -...

I had 4 acupuncture sessions. And treatment with herbal medicine given by the acupuncturist. And they made no changes to my tinnitus. The only improvement I noticed was less stress.

Therapies to date: turmeric, vitamins, walking, anti-inflammatory diet & acupuncture. 4 months in ear fullness has decreased dramatically.

I tried acupuncture but found it very hard to lay there for an hour and it didn't seem to help at all..

I've tried acupuncture for tinnitus and also for my pollen allergy, but it didn't help for any of them. I strongly think that acupuncture is just a placebo treatment, or is just not useful for these type on conditions. Maybe it's useful for something else.

Yes good point - massage makes the therapist work 100% of the time. Nobody is going to pummel flesh for $20 an hour.

@ChrisBoyMonkey -- Sometimes I feel like I notice a "softening" after doing some acupuncture. Then when the volume goes back up, I wonder if I was imagining things. But as the months have gone by (about 19 now), I'm becoming more certain that it is helping. I recently got a bad spike, and...

My tinnitus is a lot better now. It is about 0.2-0.3/10. I found that ample sleep helps as well. I got my TCM Physician to do electro-acupuncture on me based on this research article. For @Ronnie Yiew, if the tinnitus was triggered because of the cold water, it might resolve on its own over...

It worked so well that he is gone from this forum! :-) I'm trying acupuncture next week (my 6 month anniversary)..

Has acupuncture worked for anyone?

anyone try acupuncture

I would try acupuncture at a good clinic. Make sure the acupuncturist studied in China, they are better trained there. I still go twice a week; that’s the most noise I can manage. I can handle road noise on good days now with double protection. I still have 0 tolerance for high pitch noise...

I think you misunderstood if you think Dr. Shore's device is glorified acupuncture. 20 years of scientific research and successful double-blind, sham-controlled trials doesn't lead to acupuncture. Best thing would be to read the thread. You give some good advice in other threads but I plead you...

Parallel acupuncture? What's that?

...There were more negatives and neutrals than positives and for the positives there were methodology flaws. And I am not claiming Acupuncture is ineffective. I never made that claim. I am saying there is insufficient evidence to back up the claim it IS effective. For conventional medicine -...

There's no shortage of actual medical papers on Pubmed that demonstrate acupuncture and definitely help certain kinds of T. And western medicine isn't helping much so it's worth - the acupuncture and chinese medicine both - trying. Beats doing nothing. I'm going to be looking at doing it soon...

Acupuncture, hypnotism & kiniesiology.

My sleep has been so bad I went to a hospital yesterday. They suggested giving acupuncture another try. I find it doesn't help much with the actual Tinnitus but it did help me sleep better. For some time I have been waking up feeling as though I have not slept at all. The acupuncture helps cope...

I have done some acupuncture, it helps sometimes, but seems no big improvement, anyway, thanks a lot

Second acupuncture appointment and got CBD gummies at the chiropractor today. Tinnitus sounds like very high pitched static. We will see!

Has anyone tried acupuncture?

Do you have ETD? I tried to pop but my right ear is hard to pop.

Acupuncture helps me, not to the point of relieving Tinnitus but to the point of relieving depression and anxiety. It calms me. The days I dont do acupuncture I really feel the down side. It does cost a bit mush. I pray the moxibustion works or relieves the T.

@Thomas_83, tinnitus can spike a lot after that kind of treatment and acupuncture as it increases blood flow. Speaking from experience. Usually it is what it is - a spike - and will calm down to baseline again.

So any more success stories of acupuncture working for you guys? I am considering it as a local acupuncturist claims to have a good success rate with curing it. Also have insomnia (maybe partly caused by the tinnitus). Anyone had success with improving insomnia with acupuncture? Thanks...

Is usefull for tinnitus acupuncture

Where was this done? China? Looks quite similar to this process. @Chinmoku, they used 2% Lidocaine I believe.

...tinnitus volume over time. Back in the 90s, I tried all sorts of treatments—infusions, low-powered lasers, hyperbaric oxygen therapy, acupuncture, and so on. The one that gave me the most relief was TRT (Tinnitus Retraining Therapy). That’s just my personal experience, though, and I didn’t...

Hi @ZFire, I miss you buddy and I hope you are well. I was thinking of @Chinmoku today. I hope he's alright. If you are listening brother @Chinmoku, you are in our hearts and thoughts. Brother Z, I'll catch you around. Don't eat to much pizza at 3 am and stay awesome. Daniel

...or a planted testimonial. I don't blame them. The sad part is it's the researchers who could help us, but due to lack of - you guessed it - funding, they can't, when the money has gone to charlatans instead (stem cells, Mr. Mimbo Jumbo Jimbi Jam, laser, acupuncture, chiropractors, herbs, etc.)

So sorry to hear this... I have this too recently not through acupuncture and it’s a horrible tone to have x

When my T got worse in March I had soooooooo much noise. Acupuncture helped to quiet it down and leave me with less noises. (I still have quiet a few.) It did help with my higher frequencies. The area I'm at has limited acupuncture people and I've been curious to get it from a real Chinese...

The last paragraph of the article has a very positive statement, it reads as follows: "In a related study, researchers conclude that acupuncture combined with ginger moxibustion benefits patients with tinnitus. Researchers applied acupuncture and ginger moxibustion to 34 patients with...

Does it help with the tinnitus?

...in the world. I'm not surprised that you keep seeing their faces; I experience the same thing all the time. Thank you for recommending acupuncture. I'll definitely try it in the near future. For now, I think the most important thing is to adjust my psychiatric medication to help reduce these...
