I'm going to accupuncture as well. Here's hoping

Thanks, I appreciate the kind words! And sorry to hear about your struggles finding proper treatment, it's a common experience unfortunately. Dr. Golenhofen is at the conference by the way. I like his messaging indeed. The subtyping thing was all the rage in tinnitus research a few years ago...

...life taken away from me. I've not been able to do anything really for the last three months. What is worse is that I didn't even need the acupuncture in the first place, it was just a tiny bit of ringing that I had for not even two weeks. I had visited the audiologist and it was more about...

...any theory why we develop several tones of tinnitus? Why some are tonal, others more similar to "white noise"? I have had 4 sessions of acupuncture, but I'm also under some stress from the tinnitus and I haven't seen any improvement with acupuncture. What do you think of the Neurofeedback...

...shady that to everyone with tinnitus they say it's due to kidney malfunction... But you say that it doesn't help permanently, but doesn't do harm either, right? I read it here that maybe electroacupuncture is one procedure to avoid. I think, because of COVID-19, I have time to think about this.

I did it all and spent tons of $$$: massage, (3 months), chiro (for a year), craniosacral therapy (2 months) and acupuncture (4 months). Massage made me feel relaxed, chiro - not sure, craino also relaxed me, acupuncture- I actually feel asleep on 1/2 my visits so I was relaxed. None of these...

I'll be interested to hear if either of those work for you. I've tried acupuncture, and I'm afraid it didn't work for me. Please do update us on how it works for you!

I had 6 sessions, nothing happened, so I stopped, I wasted my money.

...it was continually getting worse after two weeks or so, and was expanding to the back and crown of my head. I finally did some self-acupuncture around my ears, and it improved 90%+ by the next day. Now whenever it begins to crop up, I do those same points. Ear burning is just not a...

...gradually increase throughout the day, being at its worst in the evening. Plus, it seemed to be gradually getting worse. -- I had an acupuncture session after a few weeks of this, and the burning dissipated by about 95% after just that one session. I seldom experience burning these days...

Had my 3rd acupuncture session today. . I spoke to the acupuncture doctor he said I am young and ur symptoms are very weak... dont need to worry u will be cured.. I would not touch u if thought I can't help u.. Today I woke up 4 in morning the noise was bit loud. . I took half of .25mg xanax...

I actually read somewhere that with acupuncture it could take 10-15x before any results are noticed. But of course it does not work for everyone. I think in your case the stress never really stopped- problems at worked created Tinnitus and after changing your job you couldnt get relaxed because...

...dexamethazone will be the most potent among the 3 ingredients. My doctor told me about half of his tinnitus patients has some improvement after the injection. Cure rate in the test result seems extraordinary high for tinnitus though! Did you try acupuncture and Vinpocetine together or...

Nice! Are there any specific points you ask for?

Hello ECP, Thank you very much for your post. Listening fatigue is a new concept for me. It was a little hard to understand at first but I will do more research on this. I spoke to a very good ENT with decades of experience with tinnitus, and he told me it was quite odd that the tinnitus was...

...good candidate for the Dichonics process. Are you considering waiting until it's available on the internet? It's encouraging that the acupuncture may have helped you. It would be great if it would gradually fade away, wouldn't it? Perhaps, as the hearing loss increases, the tinnitus...

Just by way of an update, I ended up having 17 treatments and definitely noticed an overall reduction in volume. It's still there, but it fluctuates far more than before. Now onto acupuncture...

A lurker here for a while. I signed up to add here. I'm fairly certain that this type of tinnitus comes from the neck. I've had it for a while and physio said I may have slow motion whiplash. Try getting some massage therapy for your neck or acupuncture. Perhaps also yoga might help?

Thank you Ricardo, I have been reading that it will take 6 to 12 months to habituate, meanwhile I am will try anything to get better, acupuncture, hypnosis, psychiatrist, ent etc Thank you Dominic

I have had Tinnitus for many years and like everyone else seeking a cure. I have tried acupuncture without success and recently tablets "Quiet Mind Plus" with no result. We keep searching. John Perth West Australia

...week are you doing ? Are you also taking any herbal medixine (fitomedecine)? I have what I think is sommatic Tinnitus and also doing acupuncture, currently on 7th treatment. I felt some improvement on the first 4 or 5 sessions, mainly on the pulsatile portion of my Tinnitus which seemed...

I'm starting this treatment on Wed. 12/21/16. I will report later for those interested.

I’m skeptic. Acupuncture has no physiological base and its efficacy has not been proven in any meta-study. 19 out of 30 cases were cured. It comes from China, specifically from a “Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine”.

I had acupuncture two days ago and I am very surprised to say that the last two days have been the best I have had since July. I'm not holding my breath but it's interesting.

Acupuncture, reiki, healing touch therapy, chiropractic techniques, even hypnotism! (Didn't work). I've also taken a number of supplements, including pharma Gaba, systemic enzymes (Medizym), moringa oliefera, homeopatic ringing ear formula, vitamin B12, magnesium, zinc.

@Daveyrvancleef, I'm moving to England :) But it only spikes while I'm doing that motion, once I stop the spike stops. I am thinking of maybe getting acupuncture on my jaw too. Ricardo

I’ve tried acupuncture. Didn’t have any effect for me unfortunately. I’m working on posture and stretches. Trying to stick to mostly anti-inflammatory diet. I can modulate my tinnitus with my neck, jaw, eyes, and pressure points on my head. I asked the prospective surgeon about that for my...

Have done two sessions of acupuncture so far but haven't noticed any improvements yet. Also have high blood pressure and insomnia and stress so I'd be happy even if I could get some relief from that.

Hey @G H - Yeah, I think the acupuncture is helping me with the anxiety/depression/insomnia caused by the tinnitus, yet the tinnitus still stubbornly remains. Though I've had it for almost two months now, not as long as most people. Just an FYI, I spoke with another TCM worker who e-mailed...

I tried Acupuncture but did not help me . I had needles for a knee injury and it worked for that but sadly not for the Tinnitus. I wonder where the needles were put in this case

I have tried acupuncture about 3 times with different people at least 30 treatments all in.Didnt touch it. When I think all the things I have tried ,how much it has cost ,its truly ridiculous.

From my acupuncture experience(s), I would say that is too short. You may want to consider asking if you could go longer (w/o any extra charge).

...Thing is, a doctor with no T experience can give it to me. If it goes wrong, I'm the one who is paying the price. I've continued the acupuncture, this time for facial pain. The acupuncturist put some electrical wires onto the acupuncture needles and yes it was irritating. It did not really...

@Paul10 they all sound like reasonable options, but I've been told that if you're going to get acupuncture always go for someone who practices Chinese TCM. I like 3's answer though... very honest.

Hello! I am not sure what caused me to have a "quiet tinnitus" day but I have been trying a mix of: Acupuncture: the next day, tinnitus was quieter all day. Antioxidants: I read that you can try adding antioxidants to your diet to help combat the toxins from the SSRIs. I have been drinking pom...

I have eliminated caffeine and it has not reduced my PT. I am still undecided on diet and exercise but it has resulted in weight loss. Acupuncture is my new venture so I will have an update with results.

...than western medicine is invalid? Chi/prana is real, and anyone that engages in manipulating it will quickly realize this is the case. Acupuncture is obviously useful for many ailments, otherwise it wouldn't be practiced. Will Chinese medicine help tinnitus? Probably not if it's noise induced.

...to read about success stories for somatic tinnitus. I don’t come across many of these, but I am hopeful that my neck movement induced Tinnitus, which is 3 weeks old from a single chiropractic neck adjustment, will eventually resolve. I am pursuing physiotherapy, dry needling and acupuncture.

Hey there all... So far, there is no definitive research that shows acupuncture works on tinnitus, but many believe it has promise. This basically is an update on a post I did on this thread in October, which you will see if you scroll up, when I first started acupuncture. Sorry, some of the...

I went once as I saw video of a certain type of Acupuncture seemed to fix it! But I went once and it didn't do one little bit. It actually made my arm hurt! So I haven't been back.

I'm talking about traditional Chinese acupuncture, with needles. It's very nice, very relaxing. I think they say it is due to "kidney" malfunction, because traditional Chinese medicine understand the body as a whole, and it is a bit weird in its diagnosis, I know... but that's the way it is...

...bad with my tinnitus lately. One of my breakdowns happened in front of my family members and now they are insisting that I should try acupuncture, because XY got good results for their totally unrelated issues (joint pain, if I recall correctly). I'm firmly on the opinion that it does not...

...I have been more or less successful and managed to keep the devil in control by regular excercise, taking some chinese herb medicine and acupuncture. Before that I have tried several other staff (betahistamini etc.) but nothing was successful until the chinese herb medicine and acupuncture...

It's a new device that's like the Susan Shore device, but it's undergoing trials right now, and a user here is involved and giving updates. So far from what he said it seems really promising. I guess the dB of his tinnitus has so far dropped by 7-10dB...

what sort of pain do you have? you have plenty of alternatives. tumeric. fish oil. glucosamine and chondroitin. mco. msm. cats claw. drink more fluids. heat and cold packs. acupuncture. massage. meditation. distraction. sleep/rest. hydrotherapy. dry needling. osteopathy.

I gave acupuncture a try myself, it's very relaxing and therapeutic but it did nothing for my tinnitus unfortunately. I hope you find relief though! You never know, what doesn't work for one person may work for another.

Hi Karl, I really feel for you....but keep the faith...my daughter-in-law rang me after her first acupuncture last night and apparently there is a good success rate with curbing Tinnitus and recommends it for mine. Don't know what you have tried so far as I only joined Tinnitus Talk on the...

Sorry to hear! Did you try corticotioid (predinisone)? Starting with 60 mg 1 week and then tapering with 10 mg?

Just wanted to give an update and say after the prescribed amount of sessions, T remains the exact same. Acupuncture may help for other ailments. It does help with anxiety and relaxation. But with tinnitus, for me... useless.

I have just begun acupuncture again -- this time for a back injury. At my next appointment, I will ask my acupuncturist about the possibility of treating my T and PT along with my other issues. Worth a try!!

It generally has not helped majority of the community. But if it’s helping you, stick with it!

...can try them to see what the results are? Below is how to do it without having to read all the other stuff. Basically it is tapping on acupuncture points (acupuncture is known to work cos it is currently used and has been used for ages in the NHS in UK) and mentally or out loud verbally...

Do you think it will be between 3-5 years before we have an actual treatment? :(

Thanks for posting! I’ve only been dealing with this for 3/4 weeks and I’ve found acupuncture to be helpful as well. It can be expensive so I would advise others to give community acupuncture a try. My place offers a sliding scale fee of $15-$35. Whatever you feel like paying that day! It has...

Going to try the acupuncture in Harley st and seeing chripatore tomo as well as willing to go to Ibiza for laser treatment My mates going Ibiza partying / clubbing I have to go and sort my T out

Dear friends with hyperacusis, acupuncture significantly reduced this in one session for me, when my first ear event happened that resulted in my current tinnitus. Please try it. It made everything bearable again. My best to you.

I lost a kidney in an accident 15 years ago but got T 11 monthes ago so I really dont see any correlation. Did the acupuncture route found it very relaxing but no positive effect on my T.

...dosages, or other treatments that are known to work for many people, I'd be glad to add these in. Here are the treatments I've found: Acupuncture. This is definitely the most effective treatment I've found, and I've been using it almost since the beginning of my tinnitus. Repeated...

I'm so sorry Andrew ! I'm dying and trying to relax. I'm going to therapy acupuncture chiropractor and a hearing center for hearing aids also they do TRT I have to retrain my brain How are you now?

...first night. I spent $7,000 for my unit, but some areas rent these out by the month for about $600 or so. I recently started doing self-acupuncture, and am getting really good results from that as well. Once you learn a handful of really easy spots, and buy some inexpensive needles, it's...
