Does it help with the tinnitus?

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...

...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...

Is usefull for tinnitus acupuncture

...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...

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...

I would rate the pain at a 2/10. FYI I think I will give you all an update at around the 6 session mark.

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...

@Nics2drescue I know it's been a while but does your intial spike from the accupuncture go away? I'm also doing acupuncture like every 4 weeks. The last time 2 days ago. Later that day I got this new sound (like an eeee above my hiss) and it makes me pretty nervous. Not sure if it relates to...

I've been thinking the same thing. Although acupuncture is very complicated there should be certain safe points to do self-acupuncture on, especially if you would get an experienced practitioner to tell you what points to use so you're doing an informed decision.

Yes acupuncture I heard it worked

Maybe you can also try acupuncture?

One of the acupuncture needles must have hit a nerve in the muscle behind my ear. It sends shooting pain when I chew on that side! :-0

@Nadia231 & @AfroSnowman, did you both try acupuncture with electronic current connected to the needles? I tried without and it did nothing for me. I'm curious though to try it with electric stimulation.

@billbauer I just remembered my T in my other ear came back for second time after getting acupuncture. During the acupuncture the practitioner had not left me in a very comfortable position and my neck got sore. I wonder if that precipitated the return of the second tone. The neck link with 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...

I’m thinking about acupuncture too. I’ve had loud high pitched ringing for 13 months straight.

Starting my acupuncture treatment in 3 weeks. In sweden there is an option to do it for free kind of, you only have to pay about 100 dollars per year, after that healthcare is free. Free but completely useless in most cases... However, there are some good practitioners too. I hope this lady is...

Egb761 like regular ginko makes my T worse. It returns to normal after discontinuing. I've tried acupuncture including having it done in China with a grand master (he was crazy lol) and no benefits :)

I had acupuncture once for tinnitus. My experience was a positive one, but I think that I have to say that you have to be realistic at what to expect. I had about 6-8 sessions of 1 hour acupuncture. They did the acupuncture everywhere, and not just on my ears and face. The results I got where a...

Do you think the acupuncture helped at all?

After researching acupuncture more, I believe that it does help those with non-noise induced T. -- Those who have T from stress or neck/head/ear injuries seem to benefit the most. I have yet to find a noise-induced T sufferer who had a lot of success with acupuncture. -- Sure wish I would...

@Adriel93 if acupuncture is helping, keep doing it.

Hi, thanks for responding. Has the acupuncture actually helped in lowering your tinnitus?

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

I have tried twice. The first time is when i found some relief for sure (they did full body acupuncture) and about 9 sessions of one hour. The second time i did not find any relief with the acupuncture sessions (the needles where only on my face), and they where 30 minute sessions. I stopped...

I'm going to try acupuncture today! Let's hope it works.

Be careful.

Thank you for sharing your experience.

...suspect the jaw is a contributing factor. Still, it doesn't appear to be a panacea. Oh, and if you're like me and hate needles, don't worry - the procedure doesn't hurt. I actually enjoyed it as the needles, which are very fine, seemed to act like a form of Acupuncture and relieved some...

What acupuncture method did you use? Can you concret?

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...

Acupuncture did nothing for me except make me feel relaxed and sleep okay. Tinnitus wise... nothing.

...they'll say it's worth it. Those that don't get any results, or even bad results will probably say it's a waste of money. I've heard of acupuncture making tinnitus worse, but only temporarily. I've also heard that if a therapy causes tinnitus to increase, it can actually be a good sign...

I went for acupuncture to stop smoking, many years ago, and it worked. I doubt that it can reduce or eliminate tinnitus, but perhaps it can be applied to reduce stress. Mindfulness Breathing, along with tensing and and relaxation exercises, can help to do this, as well.

Hi Paul, I will give Zak Acupuncture a try once I am relocate back to London. Thanks for sharing. Just curious, what was the reason for your t onset? I am a singer also. Have also had to cut back for a while. I got t 4 months ago from lidocaine anesthetic up my nose in an outpatient procedure...

There is some data that indicates acupuncture can be effective: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5771359/

Hi tom, nice to know you had visited Zak acupuncture clinic last year.My current job is singer. I have been a sufferer of tinnitus for months and found them debilitating, to the extent of having to take time off work and cancel many events. Dr Zak Han Acupuncture worked immediately for me, and I...

I am investigating the use of acupuncture to relieve symptoms or resolve tinnitus.

I found this study about acupuncture and tinnitus today, see attached file.

Thanks Lane, yes I believe my acupuncturist has used all 3 points shown in the video.

I cease acupuncture and my T didnt improve after 6 HBOT sessions

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

There's a description of this point on THIS VIDEO at about the 8:00 minute mark. I do self-acupuncture regularly, and do the crown point 3-4 times a week (and many others). Self-acupuncture is super easy--and super inexpensive.

I’m doing acupuncture this Thursday. I am not assuming that it will cure my tinnitus, however I am hoping for some major destressing. Did you all do specific treatments for tinnitus, or just aimed at reducing stress? I have never done acupuncture, but friends recommended to do so as for one it...

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.

...volume I can hear it with multiple fans on max volume, on the highway, listening to music, everywhere. It got a lot worse after I started acupuncture, after the 3rd treatment last Monday it was game over. The 2nd one seemed like it was doing something but at the same time, when my ears would...

Definitely going to follow this thread and see if anyone else gets good results. I am going to try acupuncture starting Friday and want to evaluate each thing I try on its own. My ENT suggested the acupuncture since it has helped a couple of his patients. But sonicboom2000 really glad you...

Thank you for your reply. I have spent many hours at the chiropractor, with a masseuse, and undergoing acupuncture, focusing on my neck and jaw because I also thought that might be the issue. These treatments did help, but they never completely eliminated the problem. Something that confuses...

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

does anyone know if having acupuncture done is successful when treating tinnitus?

Anyway, no improvement in my tinnitus after several acupuncture sessions. pretty disappointing. :(

@tomytl How did you get your T? Let us know if acupuncture worked for you, I could also think about it but I'm not sure if it would help T that has come from loud noise... Although my T changes if I stretch my neck so if acupuncture helps to relax muscles then it could be worth trying...

I also struggled with sleep around the four-month mark. I didn't want to take anything since there's a report out there of nearly everything making tinnitus worse. But out of desperation, I started taking a very low dose (~3.5-5 mg) of Mirtazapine each night. It knocked me out, and getting more...

I have tinnitus for 20 yrs. but the last 6 months it has become unbearable. I started acupuncture a few days ago. Don't know if it works but I'll do anything now. Have tried vitamins, anti-depression medicine, etc. Has anyone else tried acupuncture? I'm praying that it doesn't make it...

Please let us know how acupuncture goes. I'm thinking about doing this, too.
