Everything is really, really bad for me, my friend. My tinnitus is extremely loud. It started after using headphones and has reached a level that is driving me to the brink. Unfortunately, it came along with muffled hearing, hyperacusis, and a decrease in the clarity of sounds. My life has...

Mine is just getting worse every day. Niacin 1,000 mg helps get it down for a bit but I never had hyperacusis before the acupuncture. Given there has been no clear cause for mine, it's hard to be hopeful. What I'd do to go back 1 year, June and July. By August it was all beginning to fall apart...

There is some pretty good correlation with when I have had acupuncture. I will at times have one or two good days after acupuncture. This is not a given, but some months it’s almost always true and other months the acupuncture is not as effective.

Lol, it looks more and more like a sophisticated acupuncture technique, which we all know what that means...

...severe bouts of vertigo, which left me vomiting, and unable to get out of bed for long periods of time. Fortunately, I received some acupuncture needles shortly after, and began doing self-acupuncture again, something I'd not done for over a year. Almost miraculously, my vertigo...

I also forgot to mention that I have done around ~12 rounds of acupuncture, using these acupoints, http://www.healthcmi.com/Acupuncture-Continuing-Education-News/1598-acupuncture-quiets-tinnitus did not help.

I get relief from acupuncture. It lowers my volume until my stress ramps it up. Cranial sacral therapy helps too.

SARS-CoV-2 and I think acupuncture made it worse.

Hi @Lane, hope you are well. Check out the photo of the acupuncture points in this thread: Repeated Modified Nerve Blocks and Auditory and Non-Auditory Nerve Stimulation A page or two back from the end is a photo of the patient BrysonKingMe. I tagged you before but I think it didn't get to...

I stand corrected. Thank you for putting me straight. When I think about it, I seem to recall some proponent of acupuncture at some time using electrical stimulation of his needles on the meridian points to up the potential (or something similar). How that worked out I've got no idea but I've...

...a total roller coaster for me. Dire days. I had a week or two of moderate tinnitus and then it went ballistic. I've had lots and lots of acupuncture and never had your experience. I often felt calmer and found one acupuncturist whose treatment relieved the intensity of the tinnitus. So...

@KMc24, Glad you’re doing better. Is electro acupuncture regular acupuncture needles with an electro-stimulator machine put on separately or something different?

How many sessions of acupuncture before you started noticing improvement? Did you do general acupuncture or for tinnitus (ears only)?

Yes, I think the 64.5 percent for efficacy rate is way too generous, from personal experience and threads on this forum. 10 percent would be tops. Mixed with electricity sounds awesome, but it's not neuromodulation, the numbers seem way too high. I love acupuncture, but not for tinnitus.

Analysis of Factors Influencing the Efficiency of Acupuncture in Tinnitus Patients Abstract An effective acupuncture treatment must comprehend the influence of various factors, but studies in this aspect remain limited. This study aimed to identify relevant factors and search for the best...

Did stopping acupuncture help? Did you taper off clonazepam? If so what was your experience there as far as your tinnitus?

Had 8 sessions, time did more good then the acupuncture, i had parralel acupuncture!

Did your tinnitus ever go back down? Jesus this is horrifying. I just had one session last week and I'm beside myself with grief.

They seem to do some special acupuncture in these Asian countries. Was yours just normal acupuncture?

There are studies that have shown acupuncture to be effective for certain subsets.

...It is hard to mask because of the reactive thing. I’ve lost weight and have had many panic attacks. So do you still have tinnitus? Or have you just managed it? I tried a lot of therapies; osteopathic, physiotherapy, acupuncture. Nothing seems to work. Thank you for posting your testimony.

I tried acupuncture for the first time today for ototoxicity caused by SSRIs. My tinnitus is quieter today.

...I developed hyperacusis after taking Baclofen or Tegretol. Thank you for your prayers. 🙏 P.S. I forgot to mention that I’ve started acupuncture. It helps calm me, but it only stopped my symptoms for about 30 minutes. I’m going again on Monday. My applied kinesiologist friend suggested that...

I've been doing acupuncture again - looks like my current insurance covers it. I've also been doing self-acupuncture for specific muscles around my jaw (really 'dry needling', and not acupuncture in that case). I think that's a little nutty and don't encourage it, but have been enjoying it.

@StubbyJ Was the acupuncture treatment for your T only or for H too? I’m doing acupuncture right now for poor blood flow. I have T, and symptoms of PT not properly diagnosed yet and also have Hyperacusis. Thanks

should we believe this? http://www.healthcmi.com/Acupuncture-Continuing-Education-News/1450-acupuncture-effective-for-treating-hearing-loss

The problem might improve with time. Even if the treatment is effective, the body still needs time to return to normal. Do you have a routine for stretching and strengthening your neck muscles, as well as relaxing your TMJ? All the treatments you’ve mentioned (chiropractor, masseuse) seem to be...

Here some info that might help: https://www.healthcmi.com/Acupuncture-Continuing-Education-News/1450-acupuncture-effective-for-treating-hearing-loss I hope your acupuncturist knows this as well. The medicine is easy to get.

@Autumnly -- Thanks for posting this. A question that immediately comes to mind is whether 17-24 acupuncture sessions will be enough to ensure the positive results will last long-term, or will sessions need to be continued indefinitely to maintain any improvements. My best guess is that it's...

The nerve blocking procedure in South Korea always struck me as some kind of ‘special’ acupuncture if I’m being honest. If I recall, they inject the needles behind the earlobe and then move them around physically when need be. The protocol does use Lidocaine injections. I believe @Chinmoku...

Acupuncture is so helpful. I wish I had found it earlier. It just takes the anxiety and edge off. I find myself reacting less to tinnitus and just living my life.

...than my usual tinnitus. The only exception is omega-3, which I’ve been taking for many years. Yesterday, I went for a massage with acupuncture, as my wife read it could help. My neck and back have been quite stiff lately. The massage ended up including some deep tissue work because the...

How is this different than acupuncture?

20 years of research doesn't change the fact that is is just electrical pulses that stimulate nerves (not unlike acupuncture) combined with sounds. Appears to me like an experimental treatment with little theory to back its efficacy up. Haven''t seen a single paper describing why or how that is...

I had the same experience in the early days when I tried this and Cranial Sacral massages. My tinnitus was quiet prior to the acupuncture, and my ears were screaming after.

Acupuncture helped me lower my T, I have problems with stiff neck muscles and lowering the tensions with acupuncture and stretches lowered my volume a bit. Acupuncture is worth a try if you know you have a problem somewhere, like stiff neck muscles, or blood flow problem etc. But yes its hard...

Hi I know it’s a bit late, but how did the acupuncture go? My tinnitus is from exactly the same as you, stress or Citalopram and I am trying acupuncture tomorrow. Thank you

Acupuncture Treatment in Patients with Chronic Subjective Tinnitus: A Prospective, Randomized Study Abstract Objective: This study investigated the effect, onset, duration of action, and short-term outcomes of acupuncture therapy for treating patients with severe chronic subjective tinnitus...

I meditate to help fall asleep. After 5 months of doing that, I find it works really well. I have never been able to shut off my tinnitus with meditation though. Could you elaborate on what kind of meditation you do/how do you meditate? It seems to me you have the ability the utterly calm your...

Interesting thought that your friend thinks her tinnitus is related to her nervous system. It definitely sounds logical! And great that you benefit from meditation. Perhaps one day I will try it. As of now I am still too traumatized by the new sound and loudness... Tinnitus is for sure...

...don't penetrate deeply. I don't think community massage can be a business model, although I wish it were. The reason why community acupuncture can be a business model at all is that in a standard private acupuncture session, the acupuncturist talks to you for a few minutes about your...

Hi Is there anyone tried this :? There is a new paper I received today http://www.healthcmi.com/Acupuncture-Continuing-Education-News/1728-acupuncture-found-effective-for-tinnitus

None of these studies are blinded or have control groups. They're not very compelling as far as demonstrating that acupuncture does anything for tinnitus. If "laser acupuncture" has a 60% cure rate for tinnitus, I'll eat a hat.

...We went through my muscles along the neck and jaw, they were quite tight, and I mentioned I had weak tinnitus. The therapist used acupuncture around the neck and jaw. Poke in several muscles so I could feel it moving in muscles in the face and all the way out in the arm. Totally worn out in...

It does not help but I like acupuncture...

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...

It was TCM and yes there was a current/electrical muscle stimulation attached to the needles. He placed one in front of my ear and the surrounding on the side and back of my neck/base of my skull.

My electroacupuncture was intended to help with T. I feel neutral regarding "standard" acupuncture but I strongly discourage the use of electro-a anywhere near the head. Simply not worth the risk in my book. I so wish I could take it back....yea, I know, join the group...Ha!

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

I dream of the day I can become dependent on a device that will give me my life back, rather than an endless stream of SSRIs, benzos, sound therapy, hearing aids, Lenire, acupuncture, endless supplements and CBT, all of which helped not one whit.

this was posted earlier....I think it could use some fresh discussion...http://www.healthcmi.com/Acupuncture-Continuing-Education-News/1277-acupuncture-ginger-moxibustion-effective-for-tinnitus-new-study

That went away thankfully. I got better extremely slowly over three months, but am now in what I hope is a spike after a fire alarm went off in my house. That being said I highly recommend not doing any more electro-acupuncture.

Not sure if insurance covers it. My place is $105 a session. I am going twice a week.

...amount of attitude adjustment can resolve that fully. Another way to enhance the body's production of GABA and improve sleep is through acupuncture. It is very safe and there are no side effects or risks of chemical dependency. Point #34 on the gall bladder channel is particularly helpful...

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...
