I tried acupuncture a few days ago. -- Some people were sleeping but I found it hard to relax since I kept wanting to scratch myself where the needles were. Ha ha.. -- I will go again but didn't do much except stress me out that I had to drive 1/2 hour each way which means each session will take...

That being true, I need to find what will help me. Yes a vicious cycle for sure. I am doing acupuncture and anti depressants.

As with many paramedical methods, the principle of action of acupuncture is the placebo effect. There is also the nocebo effect... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nocebo

Whoops. Sorry, meant to quote @Danielle85 and respond: Great that you got some benefit from acupuncture. I've gotten some benefit with low back pain (I tested on and off with treatment and it seemed pretty clear to me that acupuncture was working, but it obviously wasn't a scientific study)...

What kind of stretches are you doing? I don't know what protocol to go with ...started acupuncture, but also have a good chiropractor who I could use.

...for life. Ive been to an ENT doctor and that turned out about as I expected, I got a big medical bill out of it. Ive recently tried acupuncture and it seemed to help a bit at first but then my tinnitus went back to baseline. Anyone have any success with acupuncture out there? Im thinking...

I did acupuncture for about 8 sessions, and it did not help. Most of the time it did not affect my sound. The other times when my tinnitus was more quiet or more loud were coincidence.

...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...

Just an update. My ringing has now gone. Just under 10 days after noise exposure. I had two sessions of acupuncture that seemed to help greatly. :)

@Madhan - where exactly did you go in VA and with who? I'm nearby and would be willing to give acupuncture another shot based on your experience.

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...

I stumbled across this thread because I just had my 3rd acupuncture treatment and I haven’t gone to sleep yet but I can already hear that my T has spiked. I told the acupuncturist that it happened after the last treatment- I think my T has a component of damage to the auditory nerve, if I open...

...on and wanting to walk off a building. I remember being so tired by not sleeping for 4 days, I almost fell on my face outside after acupuncture appointment. I was on YouTube, was pumping sounds in my ears not knowing I also had a form of hyperacusis at the time aggravating things. Then I...

...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...

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...

After 5 sessions, I stopped acupuncture. I still think acupuncture could work, but I think I had the wrong person. My sessions were 20 to 30 minutes, and the acupuncturist only put 2 to 3 needles in each ear, without precision it seemed to me. He also put needles in my wrist and forehead, and...

Mine is noise induced and acupuncture never helped, but I have read and heard positive results when the T was caused by blow to the head. Good luck.

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.

@kelpiemsp from your mouth to God's ear! :)

Rest your ears... try to relax... maybe a few beers/ exercise... a sports massage is a good idea... going to try some acupuncture next week myself.... but yeah when voice are painful it’s very distressing... but it does get better with time...

...a month non stop until yesterday. Life was horrible. It started with crickets sound and then static added after that. I started doing acupuncture along with Ayurvedic remedy using sesame oil. My tinnitus was noise induced. Since yesterday night I saw an improvement in the static sound...

hi Amm , you can try valerian root , or black cohosh , it will keep ya calm ...i reccomand acupuncture as well ..the sooner the better ..youll be ok

Accupuncture is part of tradicional Chinese medicine and takes years to learn. I went to a Chinese clinic for it.

...their eye teeth to get even a little bit of temporary relief by whatever means. -- Not to necessarily disagree with you about whether acupuncture can or cannot cure t or h, but I would postulate there's a good chance temporary relief could become more durable and longer lasting if...

@Nikopol I actually do acupuncture on myself, but there's a pretty stark difference between DIY and what someone with experience doing trigger point work can accomplish

I have never tried Clonazepam before, so please take heed of others' advice on this issue. I have had 5 sessions of acupuncture since developing tinnitus in July 2019. I still hear it, but have more or less gotten used to it at its current level for the time being. When I first developed...

I was just confused because some places give SGB to C2, C3, C6 area... I have seen a chart on occipital nerves.

...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...

Jazzed, What are your symptoms (anxiety, depression)? Are you ok without the meds? Found anything else to help with that or with the tinnitus? I have had a session of acupuncture for the first time for the T. Don't think it helped, but have another session in about 10 days.

My T spiked after third time acupuncture last afternoon,and still spike now after HBOT TREATMENT this morning. Someone in this thread mentioned it may not be a bad sign.

I understand what you are saying, only the article I have posted above says otherwise! SGB and those acupuncture needles to reduce subjective tinnitus, plus resetting the amygdala. The procedure is made in China and seems similar with the South Korean one, but even they don't quite specify how...

I've had 10 acupuncture treatments, it works, quite a few of them have made a permanent reduction. I still have it though, my T occurred after an anxiety attack.

Thank you very much for the advice.

Hi Trish,I know people who have had acupuncture a few times and had some short term relief but only short lived and tinnitus returned.....lots of love glynis

...but louder during the rest of the day and especially while I am sleeping (although I am used to it enough that I can sleep). I started acupuncture. Interesting that my T gets very quite right when I lay down on the treatment bed before the acupuncture starts! I also find it gives me some...

I've gotten all kinds of reactions after doing acupuncture: 1) Can increase tinnitus; 2) Can decrease it; 3) can remain the same. My early visits to the acupuncturist shortly after my started produced virtually no improvements. After a few months, I started to occasionally notice modest...

I did 5 sessions of acupuncture and I DID improve. Waiting for my sixth session. I'm also going to take Chinese herbs because according to my acupuncturist it will stabilize my T.

Neck massage. . Muscle relaxants.. acupuncture. . might help..

Anyone have any luck with acupuncture? Thinking about giving it a try, nothing to lose at this point. If anything I'm hoping it'll at least help me relax a bit.

As someone who has tried acupuncture and chiropractor with no positive effect, I'll wait for the clinical trials to come out. I mean if a bit of pressure behind the ears is all it took to alleviate tinnitus you'd think it would have been worked out a long time ago.

I am trying acupuncture .. i had only 2 sessions but i have no results yet... I am also taking some herbs and mushrooms... They say its for the liver... Hope it works!

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.

Hi Guys, I thought I would update about acupuncture I have been receiving. I have had 3 treatments and I have to say somehow it has actually had an affect on the high-pitched pulsatile tinnitus, which is most likely somatic PT. When I move my neck and jaw the squealing noise is at least 50%...

Brian, what works for me is exercise. It doesn't lower my T, but it does help me better cope with it. I'd be interested in hearing how acupuncture works for you.

I have found a therapist who will apply the acupuncture moxibustion for ten consecutive days. Im in on it. If T and H improve TT will be the first to know

I looked into Intoears (NL) and its TRT. Physiotherapy is the only thing (aside of acupuncture) that does help thus far. TRT is unfortunately out of my payment options (1500 euro).

...with Bluetooth through which I play ocean sounds on or TinnitusPlay app's water sound, Ayurveda (panchakarma), craniosacral treatment, acupuncture, minimizing caffeine, regular sleep pattern, and I'm still using Klonopin and Gabapentin. Unfortunately, I had 2 acoustic traumas this year that...

@Curt2015 Hey I was wondering if you could give an update on your tinnitus that was flared up from using the syringe. Also have you tried the acupuncture yet?

I also have used acupuncture for my T and it did not seem to help much but I did feel it helped with my tension in my neck and relieved stress.

...a somewhat different tinnitus sound in the left ear but things seem to be calming down. When I first got tinnitus and hyperacusis, I did Acupuncture, Ayurvedic treatment, Klonopin and TRT. I added Hypnosis and Craniosacral therapy. Now I take Ayurvedic herbs, get Acupuncture once every two...

Thanks! Yeah, apparently it would take quite a few visits to notice a difference.

Hi Dodo, glad to hear the laser acupuncture worked for you. How are you doing now? Would you mind giving me the details of the doctor you went to. I live in Dubai.

I'm going to accupuncture as well. Here's hoping

...furnace. And guess what it affected, my ears lol. Really infuriating. Was able to have friends over and talk without earplugs, drive to acupuncture doubled up, go to my parents and say hi, play Xbox and talk on the mic through subtitles, run at night, I was getting life back a little. Now...

...too hopeful, as it could always go up again. But it's been better to the point where I'm forgetting about it, at times. Perhaps it's the acupuncture combined with the neck release work I'm doing. My neck was bad last Saturday, and the tinnitus went crazy. Got up Sunday with the neck loads...

...steroids at 5 day and antiviral after two days due to complications. I fully recovered from Bell's Palsy. I had included 4 sessions of acupuncture, massage and chiropractic during the Bell's Palsy. On April 1, 2022 pulsatile tinnitus started and it has not left. I’ve been told many things...

I did it all and spent tons of $$$: massage, (3 months), chiro (for a year), craniosacral therapy (2 months) and acupuncture (4 months). Massage made me feel relaxed, chiro - not sure, craino also relaxed me, acupuncture- I actually feel asleep on 1/2 my visits so I was relaxed. None of these...

I'll be interested to hear if either of those work for you. I've tried acupuncture, and I'm afraid it didn't work for me. Please do update us on how it works for you!
