Acupuncture is a waste of time and money, and 4 sessions are next to nothing.

Be careful.

@StubbyJ I’ve never heard of electro acupuncture before. So glad you’ve mentioned it. Wishing you the best. Thanks for the reply.

...are not too surprising. What they need is a third group - where the individual plans are prescribing the same white noise - just as acupuncture control group places random needles (and finds it works same as expert placement). If someone believes a treatment plan has been individually...

I've had 6 sessions of acupuncture and it hasnt helped the T :(

Taking a recap of it all. If this therapy is a variation of acupuncture or a combination of acupuncture and Lidocaine, well as far as I know, acupuncture has not yielded significant/lasting results in chronic cases. Lidocaine yes, but only of a temporary short-term nature. It might be useful...

Response partly taken from response to another thread about acupuncture and tinnitus - https://www.tinnitustalk.com/threads/tinnitus-worsening-due-to-acupuncture-or-clonazepam.33776/#post-472387. May be of some utility to you. Short answer - it has helped me over short period of time I have...

I've read a few articles from HK newspaper mentioned trigger point acupuncture has 90% efficiency on tinnitus Here's the article in Chinese http://the-sun.on.cc/cnt/news/20130418/00410_020.html In the article also shows a woman in 30s who cannot sleep due to tinnitus and is now reduced and...

...a good idea, to see what your doctors have to say first. Then, if it seems that there is nothing more they can do, you could try the acupuncture. There are a couple of people on this forum who have had some success with acupuncture. One of them is Cookie; I believe she said it had lessened...

My guess would be no. I've been treated with acupuncture on and off for the past 10+ years for low back pain, and for that it has been a useful way to get some relief without taking meds. (It's my understanding that acupuncture also has been shown to have some level of efficacy for myofascial...

Or the deterioration is not the cause, but only a random temporal connection with acupuncture.....

...He was interested in doing HBOT (I have a home mHBOT unit), and so we are doing a barter. He gets mHBOT sessions at no charge, and I get acupuncture sessions and training on how to do self-acupuncture in return. I'm getting needles directly from him, but you can order them online. I...

I tried acupuncture for my T a few months ago. The guy said ear issues are related to the kidneys which seemed weird to me. Anyway, he was upfront and said that T was challenging to treat with acupuncture (I read this to mean that it wouldn't work) but said I should try at least 3 sessions...

How often do you have to do acupuncture? How many sessions total? Or is this a lifelong thing?

Has your t settled down yet?

Never heard of laser acupuncture. @Dodo what initially caused your tinnitus?

...the noise exposure, your ears will regain their resilience and you will be restored to your baseline level of tinnitus. Have you tried acupuncture or acupressure? I find it to be temporarily helpful for stress and pain, even if it doesn't seem to affect the tinnitus or hyperacusis...

I have had 11 sessions of acupuncture beginning in July of this year. I noticed immediate results after the first session. I was at my wits' end as my tinnitus was very loud in the beginning of summer. It wasn't until the 4th or 5th session that I noticed real change. My tinnitus actually spiked...

i would CONSULT maybe chinese medicine or acupuncture before you consider poking your eardrums

no, it's common in Germany to also provide acupuncture and other stuff. It's a bit hard to explain, but in the German health system we have an insurance for everybody and private ones. Doctors don't earn a lot with the regular patients so they tend to offer a lot of different treatments the...

...don't specifically cite the new research. It looks like it may be Xue H. (2015). Treatments of cervical tinnitus between neck acupoints acupuncture and traditional acupuncture. Jilin Journal of Traditional Chinese Medicine. 35(9). What's missing from the title of the thread is that the...

Aimee I was doing intermittent fasting. I would not eat until 5pm. I never tried acupuncture or chiro.

My insurance covers 10 acupuncture visit per year. Might be worth a look to see if there's any good acupuncturists in my area.

Hi! I'm new and would like to know if anyone has tried acupuncture to lessen tinnitus?

@Bleep Did you find when you got acupuncture your T got worse? I have had two sessions of acupuncture, first time I felt really relaxed although didn't really affect my T. Second session, my T went through the roof. It was unbearable! And there was a plethora of new sounds and I can't sleep with...

Acupuncture did nothing for me at all. I really don’t fully buy into the science of it either though ..

Wow, I have the EXACT same sounds! :) I also tried acupuncture a couple of times but it didn't really work for me. My physiotherapist then needled some trigger points in my neck, shoulders and face and THAT HURT LIKE HELL! Acupuncture didn't hurt at all.

Cookie, So how many acupuncture sessions have you had? I did 2 and found no benefit so I stopped. Maybe that was too soon to quit. With other things I've tried acupuncture for I got immediate results, so maybe my expectations were too high. mick

I like to know if anybody with tinnitus have tried acupuncture. And if they got any relief?

Hi Kriszti, I have had acupuncture at a Chinese clinic and it provided temporary relief from severe hyperacusis. I would walk out of the clinic quite relaxed, my muscles, my face.. it was pleasant, but the relief was only temporary (a better day, or two days) and then everything was back to...

Hi Lane, What points specifically did you receive acupuncture in, if you can remember, please describe generally. Thanks.

Brian Newman swears by it and he has one of the worst cases of noxacusis in the country.

Hey Bambam, thank you for your story. Have you continued the acupuncture? How is it working for you?

I quit a long-term, heavy smoking habit, with the help of acupuncture, many years ago. Good luck!

Good luck with your acupuncture! I'm guessing it could take several visits. I'm also hoping to try fasting. I just need to find a window where I can fast. I'm still trying to figure this out but I noticed something else new. Occasionally I go for a run and typically it's with a neighbor...

I like acupuncture. I have somebody do it and cupping. Does nothing for my tinnitus. I have seen 3 therapists. I just use it to relax.

https://www.tinnitustalk.com/threads/cured-of-my-tinnitus-with-acupuncture.11839/ What about these people??? :)

Will be going to my first acupuncture session next week. I haven't really tried anything else yet.

There is a local guy here - Chinese acupuncture - who says he got results with accoustic trauma patients t by sticking those needles at spots where they block the action of some nerves which is also crosse linked to other scientific studies on nerve block - there is a good post on the...

I certainly don't think it's fair to say that there's no chance of this stuff helping; for one thing, acupuncture needle work is not dissimilar to physiotheraputic dry needling, which has shown clinical efficacy for various kinds of muscle pain -- and we know that in some tinnitus pathologies...

...having TMJ. Before that my GP thought I had an aggressive ear infection. I had pretty much the exact same set of symptoms as you are describing. I'm now getting Neural Manipulation, Chiro, and , Acupuncture. I've just started treatment but I feel that the Acupuncture may be the best of the...

i am chinese and i have done a bunch of acupuncture ... did not help... wish it did...

I'm interested to start laser acupuncture as well. Hows your development so far @Dodo ?

Antibiotics, Acupuncture, MRI, Massages> All failure! I think the only solution in my case is sound therapy.

Mine is noise induced and illness related and acupuncture did nothing for me, hopefully it can help you :)

I wouldn't say so. The needles go much deeper than in standard acupuncture, and they also inject substances for nerve blocks, so it's a combination of stimulation through _deep_ needle placements and nerve blocks. More like pain surgeon medicine than acupuncture. I'm wondering what is doing...

Yeah if I learned how to do it very well, that’s a good idea. I usually don’t get worse from the short drives over but I really hate leaving the house during the day. Everything hurts. Would save me a lot of money too.

I think it's a combination of supplements, acupuncture, and time. I have definitely healed since its onset.

I will look it up. I went for acupuncture today but 1 session won't cut it. Its deafening

Grats Jena, enjoy the silence :) I would like to try acupuncture next month if my T still here

Acupuncture is just another stupid thing to try for Tinnitus! Heck, it did nothing for my Tinnitus :cry:

Don't let them do electro-acupuncture. It made mine worse for sure.

Szia Kriszti! Did you try the acupuncture?

This is great Brian!, gives so much hope. i have heard that pulsatil tinnitus responds very well to acupuncture.

There is a sure treatment for tinnitus by Acupuncture if the person who is going to treat know properly

Hi @willowretreat! I don't have much to advise in the way of acupuncture or any other 'unorthodox' methods of treatment; I just wanted to say that, like you, I'm also from Nova Scotia. Born and raised, lived here my whole life. I have a morse code-esque tinnitus as well. Moreso the rhythm than...

I think you are doing the right things in trying to help yourself @ECP and I commend you for your efforts. If you can apply sound therapy at night using a sound machine at low level, this might also be helpful. Since you are unable to see an audiologist that specialises in tinnitus management...

Bagpipes do a good job of masking tinnitus. Only bad thing is, you have to listen to bagipes. Off to waste money on acupuncture.

Hi, I'm new and wondering how it's going with the T. Have you gone back for a repeat of the acupuncture? My T might be due to head trauma, I'm not sure. First stop for me will be ENT but first available appointment is May 1 :-( . After ENT, next stop will be acupuncture. Curious, if you still...

I am hoping that in 6 months I will feel better too! Going for acupuncture today, hope it will help
