Hi @Terry23 -- Very good points. -- Have you considered doing self-acupuncture? I sometimes wonder if some people who don't get good results from doing weekly acupuncture might improve if they did self-acupuncture daily, or as often as necessary. I'm currently a few months post-COVID-19, and...

Efficacy and safety of acupuncture and moxibustion for primary tinnitus: A systematic review and meta-analysis Conclusion: The results showed that acupuncture and moxibustion for primary tinnitus yielded the greatest decrease in tinnitus severity and improvement in quality of life. Due to the...

It was with a normal acupuncturist (American lady, trained in Chinese acupuncture) - but we did the exact same points around the ear in an attempt to replicate the Chinese case study.

Do the needles hurt being applied since they are going in deeper than typical acupuncture? I am seriously considering going in August.

...2022. Back then, my hearing loss was above 15-16 kHz. I could hear 16 kHz at 30 decibels (this was in 2014). During that time, I tried acupuncture, homeopathy, and a lot of supplements, but nothing worked. Eventually, I habituated, and it never really bothered me. I lived my life like a...

...if not cures. Hospitals, for example, often encourage cancer patients to go to acupuncturists as part of their treatment because acupuncture can alleviate symptoms of cancer or the side effects caused by other treatments, e.g., the nausea that comes with chemotherapy. Cost isn't always an...

I've had a spike almost 3 months now and I started getting accupuncture. I've had 2 sessions already and I felt like I was getting better. The last 3 days were the best I had in awhile and then today my T is as loud as ever. Is it suppose to get worse before it gets better?

I heard acupuncture did not work. I am willing to almost try anything but my understanding is that you need to be carful since they can cause more problems then they fix. I guess there is a little risk with everything.

...study recently. You can skip down to results and conclusion if you don't want to read the whole thing. While this talks about electroacupuncture, it's reasonable to extrapolate that this information could apply to non electroacupuncture as well. Effect of Electroacupuncture on Noise-Induced...

Tinnitus Spiked and Got Worse After Acupuncture — Is This Normal? Here’s a thread on a spike reportedly related to acupuncture. It looks like at one point they said it resolved.

I don’t think they inject anything in acupuncture.

Just curious — why would you choose Xanax over Ativan? I currently take Ativan, 1 mg every night, to help with sleep. However, I have been on the same dose for eight years, and my doctor will not increase it. Would Xanax be a better option for me? Since you mentioned that you are a...

...trip. At first, I assumed it was due to barotrauma, but after extensive ENT examinations and scans revealed nothing, I tried steroids, acupuncture, and just about everything else I could think of. Eventually, I sent off blood tests for a Lyme-related infection—Bartonella henselae. The test...

...is causing your tinnitus. Frankly if I was a multi millionaire, I would possibly hazard my money on many different therapies including acupuncture (or maybe not - needles in the skin do not really appeal to me that much). But since my money is limited, I tend to be quite careful with how I...

...two days after each treatment. I do believe that most Acupuncturists will at least be able to calm the parasympathetic nervous system. In Acupuncture that might be described as reducing liver and gall bladder fire rising, as well as tonifying the kidney meridian. There are similarities...

...tooth never felt perfect, it was less sensitive after the procedure. In July, I had the root canal filled. Then, in November, I tried acupuncture near my ear (on November 24). Unfortunately, this caused jaw soreness and mild tinnitus. A year after the original crown, the tinnitus returned...

Guys if anyone sees this trust me. Try acupuncture. Only thing that helped god bless you all…

I'm considering trying acupuncture for ear/jaw/neck pain from hyperacusis. Does anyone have positive experiences to share?

...your story is really interesting to me. I’ve had ear fullness and mild hyperacusis for 3 months now from loud music and I’m slowly trying to get back to making music. Do you have any tips for recovery? I’ve tried acupuncture and I’ve rested my ears a lot but I can’t live completely without...

I'll give my thoughts here, as I'm trying acupuncture for neck/jaw tension, which I believe has caused or contributed towards a tinnitus spike. So notice I said acupuncture to address the neck tension. I did in my neck during training (Muay Thai) the same week as the tinnitus spike occurred, so...

...are not aware of. This is the problem with expensive treatments which make claims like - balancing the body. Perhaps - (a big perhaps) Acupuncture "balanced your yin and yang" for 2-3 days every time you had a session. That means for continual lower tinnitus levels you would need to spend...

@Brian Newman, does acupuncture help your tinnitus or what would you say it helps most? Thanks for the help.

...there's a lot of discussion and scientific information on somatosensory influences in tinnitus. Avoid spending money on chiropractors, acupuncture, or massages, as this is primarily a nerve-related issue. Supplements can sometimes make the condition worse, especially with overdoses of...

Acupuncture is not a branch of medicine. It is a branch of Traditional Chinese Medicine. I am just reporting honestly what the data says, which is at odds with what you claim. I do give credit to alternative practitioners because they spend time - give sympathy - and listen to their patients...

I did acupressure / acupuncture. He did acupressure around my neck and ears. Then he stuck 3 needles around each ear. 1 needle near my pinky fingers. 20 minutes. My tinnitus went from severe to mild (totally livable level). But I was walking near the street without earplugs and a super loud honk...

Thank you. I've read a bunch of threads at this point. The scary thing is that for some people, it never resolved. That's always the danger and reason I stay terrified.

@Uklawyer I also got it done in my jaw, neck, and spine the key is to find a doctor who has treated tinnitus with acupuncture

@Uklawyer yes I have had terrible ringing in my ears and i did acupuncture in my sinuses and after 1 session it’s already gotten better

I've been doing self-acupuncture for about 3-4 years now--virtually cost free. Just something for you to consider.

It's definitely no coincidence, it got worse after each Acupuncture session. I wish I had never touched the shit. First night I couldn't believe the spike, but I went for 3 sessions because I read of a success story on this forum, and it ended up ruining my life. Stack every type of tinnitus on...

...the future. It’s been about two months since I got fitted for a custom night guard by a dentist. I have worn it every night and started acupuncture for TMJ pain. Thankfully my jaw pain has subsided and the Morse code tinnitus has significantly decreased where it hasn’t been much of a...

Can acupuncture needles cause a CSF leak?

It shouldn't cause a spike. Acupuncture is supposed to help.

Oh wow. I am into acupuncture as well. Which pressure points do you use to alleviate the dizziness?

What is the difference between this and classic acupuncture? Looks very similar.

Everything is really, really bad for me, my friend. My tinnitus is extremely loud. It started after using headphones and has reached a level that is driving me to the brink. Unfortunately, it came along with muffled hearing, hyperacusis, and a decrease in the clarity of sounds. My life has...

I also don’t believe in this treatment. For me it looks like super acupuncture, which usually has no effect on tinnitus. Especially for chronic cases.

@StubbyJ sorry to hear you have had such difficulty with your adverse reactions from electro-acupuncture. I can 100% clarify that its not just with electro-acupuncture, I have got exactly what you have got just from normal acupuncture, I only had one session too. I started getting a fluttering...

Congrats! This is a great success story. Could you please tell us what kind of acupuncture this was? Was it medical or TCM style? Also, was it just acupuncture or was any current placed on the needles? Thanks!

@StoneInFocus, is this still your view?

7 acupuncture appointments and no positive results.

Thank you for your reply. I must admit I was very hesitant about Alternative Treatments, but I am actually sure I had sincere relief by my chiropractor appointment on Saturday. My volume suddenly got lower, less screechy - so I will give acupuncture a shot as well!

Mine is just getting worse every day. Niacin 1,000 mg helps get it down for a bit but I never had hyperacusis before the acupuncture. Given there has been no clear cause for mine, it's hard to be hopeful. What I'd do to go back 1 year, June and July. By August it was all beginning to fall apart...

I did clinical acupuncture at hospital that was specifically tailored towards the muscles and points around neck and head. There were 3 things I was doing at the time of the acupuncture. Zoloft + acupuncture + exposure to real life sounds of waves.

...a total roller coaster for me. Dire days. I had a week or two of moderate tinnitus and then it went ballistic. I've had lots and lots of acupuncture and never had your experience. I often felt calmer and found one acupuncturist whose treatment relieved the intensity of the tinnitus. So...

I'm not sure if full self-treatments are possible, also it may be a bit much to do it everyday. I'd say consider it as a supplement to your own work; if someone is going to invest £50/$80 or more per week, they may as well also learn Chi Gung alongside it. Chi Gung is very easy to learn, and...

...I developed hyperacusis after taking Baclofen or Tegretol. Thank you for your prayers. 🙏 P.S. I forgot to mention that I’ve started acupuncture. It helps calm me, but it only stopped my symptoms for about 30 minutes. I’m going again on Monday. My applied kinesiologist friend suggested that...

I stand corrected. Thank you for putting me straight. When I think about it, I seem to recall some proponent of acupuncture at some time using electrical stimulation of his needles on the meridian points to up the potential (or something similar). How that worked out I've got no idea but I've...

Good to hear that acupuncture works for some people but is there a difference between laser acupuncture and regular acupuncture?

Did the worsening from electro-acupuncture improve or go away?
