Hi @Terry23 -- Very good points. -- Have you considered doing self-acupuncture? I sometimes wonder if some people who don't get good results from doing weekly acupuncture might improve if they did self-acupuncture daily, or as often as necessary. I'm currently a few months post-COVID-19, and...

It was with a normal acupuncturist (American lady, trained in Chinese acupuncture) - but we did the exact same points around the ear in an attempt to replicate the Chinese case study.

...study recently. You can skip down to results and conclusion if you don't want to read the whole thing. While this talks about electroacupuncture, it's reasonable to extrapolate that this information could apply to non electroacupuncture as well. Effect of Electroacupuncture on Noise-Induced...

I heard acupuncture did not work. I am willing to almost try anything but my understanding is that you need to be carful since they can cause more problems then they fix. I guess there is a little risk with everything.

...tooth never felt perfect, it was less sensitive after the procedure. In July, I had the root canal filled. Then, in November, I tried acupuncture near my ear (on November 24). Unfortunately, this caused jaw soreness and mild tinnitus. A year after the original crown, the tinnitus returned...

Do the needles hurt being applied since they are going in deeper than typical acupuncture? I am seriously considering going in August.

...if not cures. Hospitals, for example, often encourage cancer patients to go to acupuncturists as part of their treatment because acupuncture can alleviate symptoms of cancer or the side effects caused by other treatments, e.g., the nausea that comes with chemotherapy. Cost isn't always an...

...is causing your tinnitus. Frankly if I was a multi millionaire, I would possibly hazard my money on many different therapies including acupuncture (or maybe not - needles in the skin do not really appeal to me that much). But since my money is limited, I tend to be quite careful with how I...

...two days after each treatment. I do believe that most Acupuncturists will at least be able to calm the parasympathetic nervous system. In Acupuncture that might be described as reducing liver and gall bladder fire rising, as well as tonifying the kidney meridian. There are similarities...

Tinnitus Spiked and Got Worse After Acupuncture — Is This Normal? Here’s a thread on a spike reportedly related to acupuncture. It looks like at one point they said it resolved.

I don’t think they inject anything in acupuncture.

...your story is really interesting to me. I’ve had ear fullness and mild hyperacusis for 3 months now from loud music and I’m slowly trying to get back to making music. Do you have any tips for recovery? I’ve tried acupuncture and I’ve rested my ears a lot but I can’t live completely without...

I've had a spike almost 3 months now and I started getting accupuncture. I've had 2 sessions already and I felt like I was getting better. The last 3 days were the best I had in awhile and then today my T is as loud as ever. Is it suppose to get worse before it gets better?

...there's a lot of discussion and scientific information on somatosensory influences in tinnitus. Avoid spending money on chiropractors, acupuncture, or massages, as this is primarily a nerve-related issue. Supplements can sometimes make the condition worse, especially with overdoses of...

Guys if anyone sees this trust me. Try acupuncture. Only thing that helped god bless you all…

I'm considering trying acupuncture for ear/jaw/neck pain from hyperacusis. Does anyone have positive experiences to share?

...are not aware of. This is the problem with expensive treatments which make claims like - balancing the body. Perhaps - (a big perhaps) Acupuncture "balanced your yin and yang" for 2-3 days every time you had a session. That means for continual lower tinnitus levels you would need to spend...

Acupuncture is not a branch of medicine. It is a branch of Traditional Chinese Medicine. I am just reporting honestly what the data says, which is at odds with what you claim. I do give credit to alternative practitioners because they spend time - give sympathy - and listen to their patients...

I'll give my thoughts here, as I'm trying acupuncture for neck/jaw tension, which I believe has caused or contributed towards a tinnitus spike. So notice I said acupuncture to address the neck tension. I did in my neck during training (Muay Thai) the same week as the tinnitus spike occurred, so...

@Brian Newman, does acupuncture help your tinnitus or what would you say it helps most? Thanks for the help.

It's definitely no coincidence, it got worse after each Acupuncture session. I wish I had never touched the shit. First night I couldn't believe the spike, but I went for 3 sessions because I read of a success story on this forum, and it ended up ruining my life. Stack every type of tinnitus on...

@Uklawyer I also got it done in my jaw, neck, and spine the key is to find a doctor who has treated tinnitus with acupuncture

@Uklawyer yes I have had terrible ringing in my ears and i did acupuncture in my sinuses and after 1 session it’s already gotten better

...the future. It’s been about two months since I got fitted for a custom night guard by a dentist. I have worn it every night and started acupuncture for TMJ pain. Thankfully my jaw pain has subsided and the Morse code tinnitus has significantly decreased where it hasn’t been much of a...

I did acupressure / acupuncture. He did acupressure around my neck and ears. Then he stuck 3 needles around each ear. 1 needle near my pinky fingers. 20 minutes. My tinnitus went from severe to mild (totally livable level). But I was walking near the street without earplugs and a super loud honk...

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...

Thank you. I've read a bunch of threads at this point. The scary thing is that for some people, it never resolved. That's always the danger and reason I stay terrified.

I've been doing self-acupuncture for about 3-4 years now--virtually cost free. Just something for you to consider.

...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...

Can acupuncture needles cause a CSF leak?

It shouldn't cause a spike. Acupuncture is supposed to help.

Oh wow. I am into acupuncture as well. Which pressure points do you use to alleviate the dizziness?

What is the difference between this and classic acupuncture? Looks very similar.

I also don’t believe in this treatment. For me it looks like super acupuncture, which usually has no effect on tinnitus. Especially for chronic cases.

@StubbyJ sorry to hear you have had such difficulty with your adverse reactions from electro-acupuncture. I can 100% clarify that its not just with electro-acupuncture, I have got exactly what you have got just from normal acupuncture, I only had one session too. I started getting a fluttering...

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...

...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...

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...

...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...

@StoneInFocus, is this still your view?

Thank you for your reply. I must admit I was very hesitant about Alternative Treatments, but I am actually sure I had sincere relief by my chiropractor appointment on Saturday. My volume suddenly got lower, less screechy - so I will give acupuncture a shot as well!

Congrats! This is a great success story. Could you please tell us what kind of acupuncture this was? Was it medical or TCM style? Also, was it just acupuncture or was any current placed on the needles? Thanks!

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...

7 acupuncture appointments and no positive results.

I'm not sure if full self-treatments are possible, also it may be a bit much to do it everyday. I'd say consider it as a supplement to your own work; if someone is going to invest £50/$80 or more per week, they may as well also learn Chi Gung alongside it. Chi Gung is very easy to learn, and...

...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.

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...

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

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

I did clinical acupuncture at hospital that was specifically tailored towards the muscles and points around neck and head. There were 3 things I was doing at the time of the acupuncture. Zoloft + acupuncture + exposure to real life sounds of waves.
