Is it possible your tinnitus resolved due to the muscle relaxant rather than the acupuncture?

@Thomas_83, tinnitus can spike a lot after that kind of treatment and acupuncture as it increases blood flow. Speaking from experience. Usually it is what it is - a spike - and will calm down to baseline again.

...are not too surprising. What they need is a third group - where the individual plans are prescribing the same white noise - just as acupuncture control group places random needles (and finds it works same as expert placement). If someone believes a treatment plan has been individually...

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.

...most". One guy said he shines some kind of laser light on his brainstem every morning. Not having a laser light, I decided to try some acupuncture needles in the brainstem area. A couple days later I went for a drive, and noticed my neck stiffness was vastly improved. I've since gotten into...

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.

...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...

...ototoxic but from all my reading and talking with my ENT it would take massive amounts over a long time. In the cases that NSAIDs cause tinnitus they have told me stopping them would help. For relief, try acupuncture and CBT. These changed my life and helped with my tinnitus massively.

Had acupuncture today in my head, neck and around the ears. Not a relaxing experience.

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!

It does not help but I like acupuncture...

@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...

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.

I tried acupuncture once and it just gave me a sore ear.

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...

I would rate the pain at a 2/10. FYI I think I will give you all an update at around the 6 session mark.

When I have spikes they can sometimes last for a number of weeks; it may be that you just need more time. I'm sorry that you're having trouble from something that was sought out to provide relief. This makes me really rethink my curiosity on getting acupuncture for tinnitus.

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...

...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...

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

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

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

I'm sorry to hear that. What about doctors that do acupuncture? Melatonin is good for inducing sleep.

...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...

Therapies to date: turmeric, vitamins, walking, anti-inflammatory diet & acupuncture. 4 months in ear fullness has decreased dramatically.

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.

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...

Taking a recap of it all. If this therapy is a variation of acupuncture or a combination of acupuncture and Lidocaine, well as far as I know, acupuncture has not yielded significant/lasting results in chronic cases. Lidocaine yes, but only of a temporary short-term nature. It might be useful...

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.

I've just started acupuncture and cupping to see if it helps with my tinnitus. So far the cupping has made it worse so stopped that. I'm trying Moxibustion at the moment. My tinnitus is from loud noise exposure.

I used Clonazepam, at a dose of 1.5 mg taken 1 hour before bed, for several years while concurrently doing acupuncture, craniosacral therapy, hypnosis, Ayurvedic herbs, and TRT with maskers. My catastrophic hyperacusis took over a year to diminish. The catastrophic tinnitus took several years to...

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...

Second acupuncture appointment and got CBD gummies at the chiropractor today. Tinnitus sounds like very high pitched static. We will see!

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

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

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...

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...

@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.

It's great that you are trying acupuncture and meditating. Still waiting for the outcome of the neurologist appointment. Keeping fingers crossed on that one...

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...

Do you have the link for the electro acupuncture?

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?

My man, it's worked pretty well. T not gone but acupuncture definitely has helped.

...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...

...the first 3 or 4 months like you, running around like a mad man, trying to find a cure or relief for this. I tried herbs, supplements, acupuncture, CBT, hearing aid, HBOT, church counseling, expert counseling, dieting, LLLT, etc. I finally conceded. THERE IS NO MIRACLE CURE. Just have to...

@ChrisBoyMonkey -- Sometimes I feel like I notice a "softening" after doing some acupuncture. Then when the volume goes back up, I wonder if I was imagining things. But as the months have gone by (about 19 now), I'm becoming more certain that it is helping. I recently got a bad spike, and...

...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...

Tinnitus sufferers are always being told to try acupuncture. This is like that but is Electro-Acupuncture or Magnetic Wave Therapy. See what you think!

Acupuncture doesn't work.

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.
