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

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...

Yes, if you believe in its effectiveness. ;)

@bobthebuilder, I went to acupuncture today and he said it might also be the case. I've dropped it to 30 mg to see what happens. Given the neck muscle stretches are giving some relief, hoping that and the drop in dosage will help. Problem is the neuropathy kicks up a few gears when I do drop the...

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

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 .

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

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

...I did not take oral steroids I got, canceled an appointment for steroid injections in the ears, cancelled HBOT sessions. I thought about acupuncture but skipped. I tried some low risk supplements but these were obviously pointless. My tinnitus was mild for the first 3-4 weeks, and though it...

...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...

...for this forum and your support. I'd like to find an online therapist that can help me with tinnitus. Does someone know of any? I live in NC and have BCBS. I'd also like to try acupuncture, physiotherapy, and massage. Any thoughts on where to start with those? What types etc.? Thanks so...

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.

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?

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...

I'm glad that worked for you.

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

...could imply further reductions if usage extends beyond 6 weeks. My thinking is that, like with many treatments—from antidepressants to acupuncture to everyday painkillers—some take longer to show results. I’m hoping that those who showed less of a decrease in volume after 6 weeks might...

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.

@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...

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

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.

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

...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...

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

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

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

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

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".

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...

@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 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...

When you speak of each of these events, are you saying the reactivity came back, and then went away? Also, it sounds like you correlate reactivity to stress/fight or flight/panic levels. Are you saying when you religiously did things to calm your nervous system down and the body as a whole...

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

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.

Good advice!

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.

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 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?

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.

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...

Curcumin? LDN?

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

Yes, I can recall the story. I seem to think that it was acupuncture. The amazing thing about it is how the hype (or curiosity?) seemed to literally take off and one of our members took the chance, shelled out the money on the airline ticket and accommodation. Long story short, it was a big...

...reduced the volume in my left ear, which is the side where I have the most issues. A few hours after my doctor's visit, I went to my acupuncture appointment. I have two more appointments scheduled, as they seem to be helping; I have completed four sessions so far. During this session, I...

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

I think your lack of knowledge and information prohibits you from having the ability to correctly understand holistic medicine. TCM is a branch of medicine, but good for you for misreading my post then trying to mansplain my profession to me lol. Being dismissive of something because you don't...

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.

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.

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...

Whatever you can do to reassure your brain that the noise is unimportant will help you habituate. Good luck with trt..acupuncture..hypno ☺

i have Chronic Tinnitus trying Acupuncture Bangkok $15 USD a time, i Live in BKK feel someday it gets Quieter .. has anyone had success?

Wise decision (y)

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...

...from the same problem but there is a certain percentage can not be cured. I was one of them. I must say during all this period I tried acupuncture as well but this didn't help too. The one who does the acupuncture to me is a very good and very experienced doctor of medicine, He knows the...
