Has anyone tried acupuncture and had success? I'm thinking of trying it.

Response partly taken from response to another thread about acupuncture and tinnitus - https://www.tinnitustalk.com/threads/tinnitus-worsening-due-to-acupuncture-or-clonazepam.33776/#post-472387. May be of some utility to you. Short answer - it has helped me over short period of time I have...

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...

I've had 6 sessions of acupuncture and it hasnt helped the T :(

...He was interested in doing HBOT (I have a home mHBOT unit), and so we are doing a barter. He gets mHBOT sessions at no charge, and I get acupuncture sessions and training on how to do self-acupuncture in return. I'm getting needles directly from him, but you can order them online. I...

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.

Or the deterioration is not the cause, but only a random temporal connection with acupuncture.....

I've read a few articles from HK newspaper mentioned trigger point acupuncture has 90% efficiency on tinnitus Here's the article in Chinese http://the-sun.on.cc/cnt/news/20130418/00410_020.html In the article also shows a woman in 30s who cannot sleep due to tinnitus and is now reduced and...

...a good idea, to see what your doctors have to say first. Then, if it seems that there is nothing more they can do, you could try the acupuncture. There are a couple of people on this forum who have had some success with acupuncture. One of them is Cookie; I believe she said it had lessened...

My guess would be no. I've been treated with acupuncture on and off for the past 10+ years for low back pain, and for that it has been a useful way to get some relief without taking meds. (It's my understanding that acupuncture also has been shown to have some level of efficacy for myofascial...

I wouldn't say so. The needles go much deeper than in standard acupuncture, and they also inject substances for nerve blocks, so it's a combination of stimulation through _deep_ needle placements and nerve blocks. More like pain surgeon medicine than acupuncture. I'm wondering what is doing...

How often do you have to do acupuncture? How many sessions total? Or is this a lifelong thing?

I have had 11 sessions of acupuncture beginning in July of this year. I noticed immediate results after the first session. I was at my wits' end as my tinnitus was very loud in the beginning of summer. It wasn't until the 4th or 5th session that I noticed real change. My tinnitus actually spiked...

Hi Kriszti, I have had acupuncture at a Chinese clinic and it provided temporary relief from severe hyperacusis. I would walk out of the clinic quite relaxed, my muscles, my face.. it was pleasant, but the relief was only temporary (a better day, or two days) and then everything was back to...

My insurance covers 10 acupuncture visit per year. Might be worth a look to see if there's any good acupuncturists in my area.

I tried acupuncture for my T a few months ago. The guy said ear issues are related to the kidneys which seemed weird to me. Anyway, he was upfront and said that T was challenging to treat with acupuncture (I read this to mean that it wouldn't work) but said I should try at least 3 sessions...

Has your t settled down yet?

Thank you for sharing your experience.

Never heard of laser acupuncture. @Dodo what initially caused your tinnitus?

...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...

Aimee I was doing intermittent fasting. I would not eat until 5pm. I never tried acupuncture or chiro.

...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...

Acupuncture did nothing for me at all. I really don’t fully buy into the science of it either though ..

Hi @willowretreat! I don't have much to advise in the way of acupuncture or any other 'unorthodox' methods of treatment; I just wanted to say that, like you, I'm also from Nova Scotia. Born and raised, lived here my whole life. I have a morse code-esque tinnitus as well. Moreso the rhythm than...

i would CONSULT maybe chinese medicine or acupuncture before you consider poking your eardrums

Hi! I'm new and would like to know if anyone has tried acupuncture to lessen tinnitus?

...don't specifically cite the new research. It looks like it may be Xue H. (2015). Treatments of cervical tinnitus between neck acupoints acupuncture and traditional acupuncture. Jilin Journal of Traditional Chinese Medicine. 35(9). What's missing from the title of the thread is that the...

@Bleep Did you find when you got acupuncture your T got worse? I have had two sessions of acupuncture, first time I felt really relaxed although didn't really affect my T. Second session, my T went through the roof. It was unbearable! And there was a plethora of new sounds and I can't sleep with...

no, it's common in Germany to also provide acupuncture and other stuff. It's a bit hard to explain, but in the German health system we have an insurance for everybody and private ones. Doctors don't earn a lot with the regular patients so they tend to offer a lot of different treatments the...

Hi Lane, What points specifically did you receive acupuncture in, if you can remember, please describe generally. Thanks.

I like acupuncture. I have somebody do it and cupping. Does nothing for my tinnitus. I have seen 3 therapists. I just use it to relax.

I like to know if anybody with tinnitus have tried acupuncture. And if they got any relief?

Wow, I have the EXACT same sounds! :) I also tried acupuncture a couple of times but it didn't really work for me. My physiotherapist then needled some trigger points in my neck, shoulders and face and THAT HURT LIKE HELL! Acupuncture didn't hurt at all.

Cookie, So how many acupuncture sessions have you had? I did 2 and found no benefit so I stopped. Maybe that was too soon to quit. With other things I've tried acupuncture for I got immediate results, so maybe my expectations were too high. mick

Hey Bambam, thank you for your story. Have you continued the acupuncture? How is it working for you?

I quit a long-term, heavy smoking habit, with the help of acupuncture, many years ago. Good luck!

Good luck with your acupuncture! I'm guessing it could take several visits. I'm also hoping to try fasting. I just need to find a window where I can fast. I'm still trying to figure this out but I noticed something else new. Occasionally I go for a run and typically it's with a neighbor...

https://www.tinnitustalk.com/threads/cured-of-my-tinnitus-with-acupuncture.11839/ What about these people??? :)

Will be going to my first acupuncture session next week. I haven't really tried anything else yet.

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...

There is a local guy here - Chinese acupuncture - who says he got results with accoustic trauma patients t by sticking those needles at spots where they block the action of some nerves which is also crosse linked to other scientific studies on nerve block - there is a good post on the...

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...

Don't let them do electro-acupuncture. It made mine worse for sure.

Szia Kriszti! Did you try the acupuncture?

...for the advice, I appreciate it! I will check out the threads you posted. @FearsforEars, thank you! I agree :) @Brian Newman, I think the hyperacusis improved a lot. I'm sorry to hear that you are still struggling with this. I'm glad to hear acupuncture helps. That is a good sign. Keep...

I certainly don't think it's fair to say that there's no chance of this stuff helping; for one thing, acupuncture needle work is not dissimilar to physiotheraputic dry needling, which has shown clinical efficacy for various kinds of muscle pain -- and we know that in some tinnitus pathologies...

I think it's a combination of supplements, acupuncture, and time. I have definitely healed since its onset.

...having TMJ. Before that my GP thought I had an aggressive ear infection. I had pretty much the exact same set of symptoms as you are describing. I'm now getting Neural Manipulation, Chiro, and , Acupuncture. I've just started treatment but I feel that the Acupuncture may be the best of the...

i am chinese and i have done a bunch of acupuncture ... did not help... wish it did...

I'm interested to start laser acupuncture as well. Hows your development so far @Dodo ?

Thx brother. I was doing ok for 6 weeks. I had pain free days. I was able to run at night and use my home gym. Couldn’t really leave the house except for 3 am and quick runs to acupuncture. My bad ear freaked out again and got worse. Been 2 weeks since and it’s not fun. How are you doing?

Antibiotics, Acupuncture, MRI, Massages> All failure! I think the only solution in my case is sound therapy.

Mine is noise induced and illness related and acupuncture did nothing for me, hopefully it can help you :)

...the first week but otherwise stayed higher, and relatively steady (maybe slightly improved), for about two weeks. Then I received the acupuncture and the spike was off the charts, and also included about 3 new sounds I've never heard before. Those extra sounds have mostly calmed down. But...

...or to avoid noise in case of hyperacusis... all this is tiring and exhausting. For me it helped but provided very limited relief, only lasted for maybe a day, so it was not really worth it. I had a few acupuncture sessions at a Chinese clinic with Chinese practitioners and then I stopped going.

I will look it up. I went for acupuncture today but 1 session won't cut it. Its deafening

Grats Jena, enjoy the silence :) I would like to try acupuncture next month if my T still here

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

I have tried it 4 times, about 1 week apart. It had no effect, unfortunately.
