I'm about to acupuncture my eardrum and squirt some EGCG and 7,8-DHF in there.

I have tinnitus for 20 yrs. but the last 6 months it has become unbearable. I started acupuncture a few days ago. Don't know if it works but I'll do anything now. Have tried vitamins, anti-depression medicine, etc. Has anyone else tried acupuncture? I'm praying that it doesn't make it...

...I did not take oral steroids I got, canceled an appointment for steroid injections in the ears, cancelled HBOT sessions. I thought about acupuncture but skipped. I tried some low risk supplements but these were obviously pointless. My tinnitus was mild for the first 3-4 weeks, and though it...

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...

@tomytl How did you get your T? Let us know if acupuncture worked for you, I could also think about it but I'm not sure if it would help T that has come from loud noise... Although my T changes if I stretch my neck so if acupuncture helps to relax muscles then it could be worth trying...

Please let us know how acupuncture goes. I'm thinking about doing this, too.

I'm skeptical, but I've never tried it and know very little about acupuncture.

Yes! Maybe you should try reflexology, acupuncture or visit a chiropractor?

...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...

Sadly no. Well, I've tried some supplements (Ginkgo, Zinc, b12, garlic and cod liver oil) but nothing like acupuncture or massage etc. I really should but it's hard to figure out who to go to without wasting my money. Have you had any luck yourself?

...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...

...reduced the volume in my left ear, which is the side where I have the most issues. A few hours after my doctor's visit, I went to my acupuncture appointment. I have two more appointments scheduled, as they seem to be helping; I have completed four sessions so far. During this session, I...

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

Hi, LadyDi, I'll be interested to hear how the acupuncture works for you, if you continue with the sessions. I've had a number of acupuncture sessions myself, and it was calming, but (in my case) it did not help my tinnitus. In my case, the acupuncturist was trying to help me cure both...

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 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...

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

Thanks for your reply, it means a lot. I don't know if I would be comfortable doing acupuncture on myself, but I will look into DMSO and Magnesium. Where exactly do you apply the oil? I just tried putting a hot water bottle to my ear, and I think it changed one of my tinnitus tones. Odd.

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

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

...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 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.

Where were the needles placed on your acupuncture? I've been having electro dry needling in my trap area where there are a lot of knots. I haven't noticed an increase in my tinnitus.

...for this forum and your support. I'd like to find an online therapist that can help me with tinnitus. Does someone know of any? I live in NC and have BCBS. I'd also like to try acupuncture, physiotherapy, and massage. Any thoughts on where to start with those? What types etc.? Thanks so...

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'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...

When you speak of each of these events, are you saying the reactivity came back, and then went away? Also, it sounds like you correlate reactivity to stress/fight or flight/panic levels. Are you saying when you religiously did things to calm your nervous system down and the body as a whole...

...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...

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

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

@bobthebuilder, I went to acupuncture today and he said it might also be the case. I've dropped it to 30 mg to see what happens. Given the neck muscle stretches are giving some relief, hoping that and the drop in dosage will help. Problem is the neuropathy kicks up a few gears when I do drop the...

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...

Yes, I can recall the story. I seem to think that it was acupuncture. The amazing thing about it is how the hype (or curiosity?) seemed to literally take off and one of our members took the chance, shelled out the money on the airline ticket and accommodation. Long story short, it was a big...

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

Has your t settled down yet?

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

Szia Kriszti! Did you try the acupuncture?

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

@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...

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

I think your lack of knowledge and information prohibits you from having the ability to correctly understand holistic medicine. TCM is a branch of medicine, but good for you for misreading my post then trying to mansplain my profession to me lol. Being dismissive of something because you don't...

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

...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...

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

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

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...

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

...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...

How much does the acupuncture cost and is it covered by insurance?

...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...

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...

Has anyone thought why acupuncture works temporarily to an extent? Someone mentioned before that it treated their hyperacusis for a while. Has anyone searched to find out if the muscles on their jaws work properly? We have a muscle near the ear responsible for hyperacusis, another one for...
