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

Here is one member's view on acupuncture which I agree. "My therapist told me that acupuncture helps mostly to people who have stress induced tinnitus (mostly businessmen and such). With other kinds of T, the process of healing is very slow and long. Sometimes it helps, sometimes it doesn't...

Be careful.

I'm terrified of needles, so sadly I can't try it haha

...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...

@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 but found it very hard to lay there for an hour and it didn't seem to help at all..

Thank you for sharing... I will show this to my TCM Doc tomorrow. Greets tomytl

Has acupuncture worked for anyone?

@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...

Curcumin? LDN?

Does it help with the tinnitus?

I've tried acupuncture for tinnitus and also for my pollen allergy, but it didn't help for any of them. I strongly think that acupuncture is just a placebo treatment, or is just not useful for these type on conditions. Maybe it's useful for something else.

...with Bluetooth through which I play ocean sounds on or TinnitusPlay app's water sound, Ayurveda (panchakarma), craniosacral treatment, acupuncture, minimizing caffeine, regular sleep pattern, and I'm still using Klonopin and Gabapentin. Unfortunately, I had 2 acoustic traumas this year that...

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.

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...

I want to start running too, so what do you recommend? Running at night without hearing protection, or running with earmuffs on? Does the running help the stabbing pain at all?

It worked so well that he is gone from this forum! :-) I'm trying acupuncture next week (my 6 month anniversary)..

There's no shortage of actual medical papers on Pubmed that demonstrate acupuncture and definitely help certain kinds of T. And western medicine isn't helping much so it's worth - the acupuncture and chinese medicine both - trying. Beats doing nothing. I'm going to be looking at doing it soon...

...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...

anyone try 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.

Parallel acupuncture? What's that?

I'm posting this link here. Maybe someone can give insights! Is it similar or different with what they do in South Korea? Effect of ultrasound-guided stellate ganglion block combined with acupuncture in the treatment of nervous tinnitus and earache: a case report

...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.

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

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

Acupuncture, hypnotism & kiniesiology.

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

Has anyone tried acupuncture?

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...

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

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.

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...

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...

Is usefull for tinnitus acupuncture

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...

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

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

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...

@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...

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

Yes acupuncture I heard it worked

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

@Adriel93 if acupuncture is helping, keep doing it.

Maybe you can also try acupuncture?

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.

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 :)

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...

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

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...

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

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...

Do you think the acupuncture helped at all?

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