Hi, I have used acupuncture and am seeing some positive results. I've used two different doctors who treat with acupuncture. The first doctor applies the same few needles each session. I didn't really see any results. The second doctor I tried uses a much more extensive technique which seems to...

Please let me know your experience with T after acupuncture. Thank you.

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...

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...

...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) -...

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

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.

...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...

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

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...

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

...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.)

...thanks @DeanD :) Yes, it can. It can even help tinnitus from other causes - like neck tension, TMJ, or other issues. I treat myself with Acupuncture and notice improvement in my symptoms. I had an acoustic trauma and have hyperacusis. I have had improvement with symptoms of pain, plugged...

...Bluetooth use TinnitusPlay app sounds, Ayurveda, craniosacral treatment, TRT 2+ times, off-label drugs such as Klonopin and Gabapentin, acupuncture, Feldenkreis, rolfing, neurologist, counselor, and more. EACH of those approaches may have taken 1 to 8 tries with different practitioners...

...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...

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...

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.

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...

Tinnitus sufferers are always being told to try acupuncture. This is like that but is Electro-Acupuncture or Magnetic Wave Therapy. See what you think!

My man, it's worked pretty well. T not gone but acupuncture definitely has helped.

Glad to hear! My tinnitus is probably TMJ/TMD-caused too. My left joint hurts the most, and my left ear rings the most, but my morse code is in the right ear for some reason. Looking forward to starting treatment too.

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

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

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

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

Do you have the link for the electro acupuncture?

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

@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.

Acupuncture doesn't work.

I was thinking about this Saturday whilst I was lying there spending another £35. How often can you do it? Seems to last about 48 hours for me.

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...

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

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

I find significant relief from acupuncture. It lowers my volume within hours of treatment. I also have cranial sacral modality as well which is equally effective. I would not go to just any acupuncturist/cranial sacral practitioner. Not all of them are good at what they do.

@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...

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

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

Is it possible your tinnitus resolved due to the muscle relaxant rather than the acupuncture?

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.

Has acupuncture worked for anyone?

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

anyone try acupuncture

Parallel acupuncture? What's that?

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...

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...

Acupuncture, hypnotism & kiniesiology.

...most". One guy said he shines some kind of laser light on his brainstem every morning. Not having a laser light, I decided to try some acupuncture needles in the brainstem area. A couple days later I went for a drive, and noticed my neck stiffness was vastly improved. I've since gotten into...

It's great that you are trying acupuncture and meditating. Still waiting for the outcome of the neurologist appointment. Keeping fingers crossed on that one...

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

...I sleep 2 hours a night, but 3.5 - 4 hours is typical. Very occasionally I sleep 6 hours, and sometimes just a few minutes. I have had acupuncture, osteopathy, various healing therapies, seeing a therapist, etc. Nothing is really comprehensively working, though some herbals have had an...

Has anyone tried acupuncture?

...ototoxic but from all my reading and talking with my ENT it would take massive amounts over a long time. In the cases that NSAIDs cause tinnitus they have told me stopping them would help. For relief, try acupuncture and CBT. These changed my life and helped with my tinnitus massively.

I've just started acupuncture and cupping to see if it helps with my tinnitus. So far the cupping has made it worse so stopped that. I'm trying Moxibustion at the moment. My tinnitus is from loud noise exposure.

When I have spikes they can sometimes last for a number of weeks; it may be that you just need more time. I'm sorry that you're having trouble from something that was sought out to provide relief. This makes me really rethink my curiosity on getting acupuncture for tinnitus.

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.
