Parallel acupuncture? What's that?

My sleep has been so bad I went to a hospital yesterday. They suggested giving acupuncture another try. I find it doesn't help much with the actual Tinnitus but it did help me sleep better. For some time I have been waking up feeling as though I have not slept at all. The acupuncture helps cope...

...my brain feels fried. I cut out alcohol, salt, and caffeine. I do not smoke and do not take any medications. I have tried sound therapy, acupuncture, chiropractic treatment, and regular therapy. Nothing has helped the overall downward trend. In real life, I am actually a very positive...

Brian Newman swears by it and he has one of the worst cases of noxacusis in the country.

Acupuncture, hypnotism & kiniesiology.

@Nadia231 & @AfroSnowman, did you both try acupuncture with electronic current connected to the needles? I tried without and it did nothing for me. I'm curious though to try it with electric stimulation.

Does it help with the tinnitus?

I have done some acupuncture, it helps sometimes, but seems no big improvement, anyway, thanks a lot

Has anyone tried acupuncture?

One of the acupuncture needles must have hit a nerve in the muscle behind my ear. It sends shooting pain when I chew on that side! :-0

Acupuncture helps me, not to the point of relieving Tinnitus but to the point of relieving depression and anxiety. It calms me. The days I dont do acupuncture I really feel the down side. It does cost a bit mush. I pray the moxibustion works or relieves the T.

So any more success stories of acupuncture working for you guys? I am considering it as a local acupuncturist claims to have a good success rate with curing it. Also have insomnia (maybe partly caused by the tinnitus). Anyone had success with improving insomnia with acupuncture? Thanks...

@Nics2drescue I know it's been a while but does your intial spike from the accupuncture go away? I'm also doing acupuncture like every 4 weeks. The last time 2 days ago. Later that day I got this new sound (like an eeee above my hiss) and it makes me pretty nervous. Not sure if it relates to...

Is usefull for tinnitus acupuncture

I've been thinking the same thing. Although acupuncture is very complicated there should be certain safe points to do self-acupuncture on, especially if you would get an experienced practitioner to tell you what points to use so you're doing an informed decision.

When my T got worse in March I had soooooooo much noise. Acupuncture helped to quiet it down and leave me with less noises. (I still have quiet a few.) It did help with my higher frequencies. The area I'm at has limited acupuncture people and I've been curious to get it from a real Chinese...

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.

The last paragraph of the article has a very positive statement, it reads as follows: "In a related study, researchers conclude that acupuncture combined with ginger moxibustion benefits patients with tinnitus. Researchers applied acupuncture and ginger moxibustion to 34 patients with...

I’m thinking about acupuncture too. I’ve had loud high pitched ringing for 13 months straight.

Yes acupuncture I heard it worked

Be careful.

Maybe you can also try acupuncture?

@billbauer I just remembered my T in my other ear came back for second time after getting acupuncture. During the acupuncture the practitioner had not left me in a very comfortable position and my neck got sore. I wonder if that precipitated the return of the second tone. The neck link with T...

Starting my acupuncture treatment in 3 weeks. In sweden there is an option to do it for free kind of, you only have to pay about 100 dollars per year, after that healthcare is free. Free but completely useless in most cases... However, there are some good practitioners too. I hope this lady is...

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...

Egb761 like regular ginko makes my T worse. It returns to normal after discontinuing. I've tried acupuncture including having it done in China with a grand master (he was crazy lol) and no benefits :)

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...

...they'll say it's worth it. Those that don't get any results, or even bad results will probably say it's a waste of money. I've heard of acupuncture making tinnitus worse, but only temporarily. I've also heard that if a therapy causes tinnitus to increase, it can actually be a good sign...

I had acupuncture once for tinnitus. My experience was a positive one, but I think that I have to say that you have to be realistic at what to expect. I had about 6-8 sessions of 1 hour acupuncture. They did the acupuncture everywhere, and not just on my ears and face. The results I got where a...

@Adriel93 if acupuncture is helping, keep doing it.

Do you think the acupuncture helped at all?

Hi, thanks for responding. Has the acupuncture actually helped in lowering your tinnitus?

After researching acupuncture more, I believe that it does help those with non-noise induced T. -- Those who have T from stress or neck/head/ear injuries seem to benefit the most. I have yet to find a noise-induced T sufferer who had a lot of success with acupuncture. -- Sure wish I would...

...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...

I have tried twice. The first time is when i found some relief for sure (they did full body acupuncture) and about 9 sessions of one hour. The second time i did not find any relief with the acupuncture sessions (the needles where only on my face), and they where 30 minute sessions. I stopped...

I'm going to try acupuncture today! Let's hope it works.

Acupuncture did nothing for me except make me feel relaxed and sleep okay. Tinnitus wise... nothing.

There is some data that indicates acupuncture can be effective: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5771359/

@StubbyJ I’ve never heard of electro acupuncture before. So glad you’ve mentioned it. Wishing you the best. Thanks for the reply.

What acupuncture method did you use? Can you concret?

I went for acupuncture to stop smoking, many years ago, and it worked. I doubt that it can reduce or eliminate tinnitus, but perhaps it can be applied to reduce stress. Mindfulness Breathing, along with tensing and and relaxation exercises, can help to do this, as well.

Thanks Lane, yes I believe my acupuncturist has used all 3 points shown in the video.

Hi Paul, I will give Zak Acupuncture a try once I am relocate back to London. Thanks for sharing. Just curious, what was the reason for your t onset? I am a singer also. Have also had to cut back for a while. I got t 4 months ago from lidocaine anesthetic up my nose in an outpatient procedure...

There's a description of this point on THIS VIDEO at about the 8:00 minute mark. I do self-acupuncture regularly, and do the crown point 3-4 times a week (and many others). Self-acupuncture is super easy--and super inexpensive.

Hi tom, nice to know you had visited Zak acupuncture clinic last year.My current job is singer. I have been a sufferer of tinnitus for months and found them debilitating, to the extent of having to take time off work and cancel many events. Dr Zak Han Acupuncture worked immediately for me, and I...

I am investigating the use of acupuncture to relieve symptoms or resolve tinnitus.

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?

I found this study about acupuncture and tinnitus today, see attached file.

Acupuncture is a waste of time and money, and 4 sessions are next to nothing.

I cease acupuncture and my T didnt improve after 6 HBOT sessions

...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’m doing acupuncture this Thursday. I am not assuming that it will cure my tinnitus, however I am hoping for some major destressing. Did you all do specific treatments for tinnitus, or just aimed at reducing stress? I have never done acupuncture, but friends recommended to do so as for one it...

Definitely going to follow this thread and see if anyone else gets good results. I am going to try acupuncture starting Friday and want to evaluate each thing I try on its own. My ENT suggested the acupuncture since it has helped a couple of his patients. But sonicboom2000 really glad you...

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...

does anyone know if having acupuncture done is successful when treating tinnitus?

Anyway, no improvement in my tinnitus after several acupuncture sessions. pretty disappointing. :(
