Has anyone thought why acupuncture works temporarily to an extent? Someone mentioned before that it treated their hyperacusis for a while. Has anyone searched to find out if the muscles on their jaws work properly? We have a muscle near the ear responsible for hyperacusis, another one for...

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

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

How much does the acupuncture cost and is it covered by insurance?

Yes, if you believe in its effectiveness. ;)

I'm posting this link here. Maybe someone can give insights! Is it similar or different with what they do in South Korea? Effect of ultrasound-guided stellate ganglion block combined with acupuncture in the treatment of nervous tinnitus and earache: a case report

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 one of the few therapies I do where I usually see significant improvement (7 down to 4) lasting from 1 to 3 days afterwards .

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

Hey, yeah my T calmed down after the acupuncture, eventually. I stopped going though to be honest because after a few sessions I found it was affecting me mentally bc my T kept spiking, and I suppose it was doing the opposite of what acupuncture should do - relax you. So I gave it up. I tried...

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

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

Curcumin? LDN?

I want to start running too, so what do you recommend? Running at night without hearing protection, or running with earmuffs on? Does the running help the stabbing pain at all?

...feeling I've had in my outer ears and the back side of, and auditory cortex areas of the head have stayed at bay since my last acupuncture appt. about 10 days ago. As I mentioned earlier, I didn't notice much with acupuncture shortly after tinnitus onset, but now a year later, I had this...

...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...

Years ago I tried acupuncture and my tinnitus increased considerably and I lost hearing until I removed the needles, then everything returned to the baseline.

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

I'm glad that worked for you.

Here is an article about a study done in which acupuncture helped people with tinnitus: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/29387318 Anyone tried this?

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...

...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...

Do you mind telling me how you did the self Accupuncture?

I guess you could, but that would mean keeping pressure all day with you fingers. Not very convenient.

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...

...my family cant believe that tinnitus is incurable and very well capable of worsening, so they are of the opinion to try everything. Also, acupuncture in the recommended treatment plan is around 40 appointments here and it's about 3 times of my monthly income... and reading about it, TCM seems...

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

Today was the day I was desperate enough to try acupuncture in hopes of killing my tinnitus. It didn't do anything, but at least I got a free face mask.

...the first 3 or 4 months like you, running around like a mad man, trying to find a cure or relief for this. I tried herbs, supplements, acupuncture, CBT, hearing aid, HBOT, church counseling, expert counseling, dieting, LLLT, etc. I finally conceded. THERE IS NO MIRACLE CURE. Just have to...

What are you having acupuncture for. Is it for the T or to clear a blockage? I've only had acupuncture once and my acupuncturist said we need to clear the blockage before we deal with the T. I'm on a course of tablets at the moment to help my inner ear problem, but once the course is done I'm...

Great, now people think all we need is acupuncture. Forget regenerative medicine.

Thank you for your reply, Stephan. It means so much to me! I will try using hearing aids and massage, and I'll ask about Gabapentin.

@ruben ruiz, It's your choice, but acupuncture, has no proven efficacy, in curing or diminishing T. I've invested over $5,000 and 8 months, wasting time with acupuncture treatments and Chinese herbs. My T is exactly the same level it was, at the beginning of those treatments. I went to a well...

acupuncture is one of the tinnitus "treatments" many people in plight try but most do not benefit from it...too bad

Against my better judgement, I've now booked acupuncture on Sunday. My logical brain is howling at the prospect. My ears are saying "Just give it a shot".

Thisis from Zaks blog http://acupuncture.blog.co.uk/2012/05/04/can-acupuncture-help-christ-martin-s-ring-ears-tinnitus-13626961/

@InfiniteLoop To answer your question - how long did it last, it lasted for about 2 days. The second day I had acupuncture, it got loud again with the static sound. I went to acupuncture again today, I am feeling better again. A low hiss every now and then but the crickets sound is still there...

I'm going to try acupuncture in the coming days for my T and H,I'll post my updates here for anyone interested.

I saw 2 acupuncturists close to the onset of my t over 2 years ago now. I was given herbs and weekly sessions of acupuncture for about a month each time. I didn't notice any demonstrable effect on my tinnitus volume either way. At the time, I was hell bent on a cure, so I didn't see the...

I agree. I've tried a chiropractor and also acupuncture to see if that would help my condition. I thought my 3 chiro visits helped as well, as there was immediate relief with the adjustments, but I felt he was limited in what he knew about upper cervical care after the 3 visits. I'm planning to...

That's safer. Chiropractics are mostly quacks and they can make tinnitus worse. Acupuncture doesn't help tinnitus. These therapies might help make your mind feel better but won't reduce your tinnitus loudness.

I've had about 20 electro acupuncture treatments. It has made a noticeable difference in my tinnitus. It took about 7-8 sessions before I noticed a marked improvement. The loudness, as well as, the harshness has improved. I used to have at least 2 tones, one of which was a chirping that would...

I'm also going to test acupuncture, I've had very good results in the past to repair sleep with it, but never tried for my T.

depends on what's causing your headache... tumeric, fish oil, vit d3, heat and cold packs, massage, TENS, acupuncture, sleep, magnesium, water are all helpful

Yes, that's what my acupuncturist said too. The high pitch went down eventually. But ultimately, and in hindsight, I don't think acupuncture made any difference to be honest. Only burned a hole in my wallet.

Good advice!

If the cause of tinnitus is nerve damage to the hair cells sticking needles in is not going to help unless your susceptible to the placebo effect. I had acupuncture and Chinese medicine years ago for chronic nausea the practitioner told me I'd be better within 2 weeks, it did nothing.

I have tried accupuncture and it also provides temporary relief from H and T. It is like going to the physiotherapist, stretching etc. They all can help with the symptoms but cannot cure T or H, specially when they are triggered again by noise.

Julia, I've had spikes like that after various treatments, including acupuncture, chiropractic, etc. Twice, after having acupuncture, my T spiked, plus I had vertigo. One time, the vertigo was so bad that I could hardly eat for two days. Those spikes proved to be temporary, and my tinnitus...

Have tried any treatment over the years? I've only had T for a month, I'm thinking of having acupuncture or trying Cranelsacrel Therepy

Wise decision (y)

Hi, thanks for your post. My tinnitus started out of the blue as well. I’ve seen all kinds of doctors, specialists, taking supplements, acupuncture, massage, night guards, but nothing is working. It feels so desperate. To imagine living like this forever. I don’t know how to bear it. I can’t...

My tinnitus spiked in my non T ear after acupuncture, I think. It might have been a coincidence but it seemed to do it right after.

Definitely helps the pain. The tinnitus it doesn’t do much. Maybe a little less shrill. Helps the depression a lot, I sleep better too. Your acupuncturist needs to be from China, and you have to keep going for months to see results. I see all these people saying it does nothing after going twice.

Could you please tell me the brand of the electronic acupuncture pen you used since I would like to try it also. Thanks.

I've had my tinnitus for several years (not even sure how long for) so not sure if acupuncture would be as effective for long term cases. I'll speak to them anyway and see what they say. Thanks Ronnie.

I was going to try acupuncture but most results here are negative. I guess since it's a forum for T 'suffers' it's natural for not too many acupuncture success stories to be here, but it's expensive and I feel like it's a financial risk. I e-mailed one in my area and still might give it a go...

@Asian: They gave CBT and sound therapy along acupuncture/herbs. There is no control group to determine placebo effect. This is just likely to be another self-serving report. I tried acupuncture for several months with zero results besides that it was a relaxing experience. The...

Thanks for your replies. After I take acupuncture and also medication like Zhi Bai Di Huang Wan (知柏地黄丸) and 夏桑菊颗粒, both Chinese Herbal Medicines, my ear pain found some relief. People can not get treatment for tinnitus at the hospitals in Denmark and I went to local Chinese clinic for...
