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...

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.

I was just confused because some places give SGB to C2, C3, C6 area... I have seen a chart on occipital nerves.

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

I understand what you are saying, only the article I have posted above says otherwise! SGB and those acupuncture needles to reduce subjective tinnitus, plus resetting the amygdala. The procedure is made in China and seems similar with the South Korean one, but even they don't quite specify how...

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

My insurance covers 10 acupuncture visit per year. Might be worth a look to see if there's any good acupuncturists in my area.

Szia Kriszti! Did you try the acupuncture?

What acupuncture method did you use? Can you concret?

Hi, thanks for your post. My tinnitus started out of the blue as well. I’ve seen all kinds of doctors, specialists, taking supplements, acupuncture, massage, night guards, but nothing is working. It feels so desperate. To imagine living like this forever. I don’t know how to bear it. I can’t...

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.

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

Definitely helps the pain. The tinnitus it doesn’t do much. Maybe a little less shrill. Helps the depression a lot, I sleep better too. Your acupuncturist needs to be from China, and you have to keep going for months to see results. I see all these people saying it does nothing after going twice.

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...

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

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...

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...

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...

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

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...

...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...

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

...that I will probably have an experience very much like yours. I was able to recover from PTSD two decades ago using several sessions of acupuncture. It was nothing short of miraculous. This time around, acupuncture is helping somewhat, but since hyperacusis also involves physical pain, not...

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...

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

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

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...

Do you mind telling me how you did the self Accupuncture?

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

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

@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...

...for the treatment of tinnitus are way, way more scientifically sound than Dr. Shore's Auricle device, which is basically glorified acupuncture from what I read of it (please correct me if I'm wrong). A Kv.7.2/3 channel opener has been proven to help prevent the emergence of tinnitus in mice...

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...

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?

...furnace. And guess what it affected, my ears lol. Really infuriating. Was able to have friends over and talk without earplugs, drive to acupuncture doubled up, go to my parents and say hi, play Xbox and talk on the mic through subtitles, run at night, I was getting life back a little. Now...

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

...steroids at 5 day and antiviral after two days due to complications. I fully recovered from Bell's Palsy. I had included 4 sessions of acupuncture, massage and chiropractic during the Bell's Palsy. On April 1, 2022 pulsatile tinnitus started and it has not left. I’ve been told many things...

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

...too hopeful, as it could always go up again. But it's been better to the point where I'm forgetting about it, at times. Perhaps it's the acupuncture combined with the neck release work I'm doing. My neck was bad last Saturday, and the tinnitus went crazy. Got up Sunday with the neck loads...

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

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

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

http://www.theepochtimes.com/n3/1756295-acupuncture-ginger-moxibustion-effective-for-tinnitus/

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

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

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...

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

I guess you could, but that would mean keeping pressure all day with you fingers. Not very convenient.

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 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...

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...

...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...

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

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...

Hey, yeah my T calmed down after the acupuncture, eventually. I stopped going though to be honest because after a few sessions I found it was affecting me mentally bc my T kept spiking, and I suppose it was doing the opposite of what acupuncture should do - relax you. So I gave it up. I tried...

...my family cant believe that tinnitus is incurable and very well capable of worsening, so they are of the opinion to try everything. Also, acupuncture in the recommended treatment plan is around 40 appointments here and it's about 3 times of my monthly income... and reading about it, TCM seems...

Has your t settled down yet?
