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

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

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

...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

...also sound distortion, nausea, and vertigo. My MRI was clear. I did antibiotics, steroids, muscle relaxers - nothing is really helping. Acupuncture, physical therapy, chiropractor. Some relief of pain and soreness in my jaw but the distorted sounds continue which rob me of my livelihood as a...

Yes, if you believe in its effectiveness. ;)

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...

Today was the day I was desperate enough to try acupuncture in hopes of killing my tinnitus. It didn't do anything, but at least I got a free face mask.

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.

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

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...

Acupuncture is one of the few therapies I do where I usually see significant improvement (7 down to 4) lasting from 1 to 3 days afterwards .

Will be going to my first acupuncture session next week. I haven't really tried anything else yet.

https://www.tinnitustalk.com/threads/cured-of-my-tinnitus-with-acupuncture.11839/ What about these people??? :)

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...

Bagpipes do a good job of masking tinnitus. Only bad thing is, you have to listen to bagipes. Off to waste money on acupuncture.

I'm glad that worked for you.

Mine is noise induced and illness related and acupuncture did nothing for me, hopefully it can help you :)

I certainly don't think it's fair to say that there's no chance of this stuff helping; for one thing, acupuncture needle work is not dissimilar to physiotheraputic dry needling, which has shown clinical efficacy for various kinds of muscle pain -- and we know that in some tinnitus pathologies...

Years ago I tried acupuncture and my tinnitus increased considerably and I lost hearing until I removed the needles, then everything returned to the baseline.

...feeling I've had in my outer ears and the back side of, and auditory cortex areas of the head have stayed at bay since my last acupuncture appt. about 10 days ago. As I mentioned earlier, I didn't notice much with acupuncture shortly after tinnitus onset, but now a year later, I had this...

i am chinese and i have done a bunch of acupuncture ... did not help... wish it did...

I'm interested to start laser acupuncture as well. Hows your development so far @Dodo ?

...having TMJ. Before that my GP thought I had an aggressive ear infection. I had pretty much the exact same set of symptoms as you are describing. I'm now getting Neural Manipulation, Chiro, and , Acupuncture. I've just started treatment but I feel that the Acupuncture may be the best of the...

Yeah I went in the third day and my 10/10 pain went to a 5. It’s more temporary but it seems accumulative. I felt that too after my first appointment. I felt my mentality and entire mindset change, it felt like I was reborn. Stuff is no joke. It helps.

Antibiotics, Acupuncture, MRI, Massages> All failure! I think the only solution in my case is sound therapy.

Here is an article about a study done in which acupuncture helped people with tinnitus: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/29387318 Anyone tried this?

I will look it up. I went for acupuncture today but 1 session won't cut it. Its deafening

Grats Jena, enjoy the silence :) I would like to try acupuncture next month if my T still here

...was the KEY factor in developing catastrophic tinnitus and hyperacusis. Things did improve during the last 10 years after Ayurveda, acupuncture, Klonopin, Celexa, meditation, white noise maskers, sound machines all around the house, hypnosis, craniosacral therapy and more. So yes, for me at...

Acupuncture is just another stupid thing to try for Tinnitus! Heck, it did nothing for my Tinnitus :cry:

This is great Brian!, gives so much hope. i have heard that pulsatil tinnitus responds very well to acupuncture.

That's safer. Chiropractics are mostly quacks and they can make tinnitus worse. Acupuncture doesn't help tinnitus. These therapies might help make your mind feel better but won't reduce your tinnitus loudness.

...high doses of Gabapentin, anti-anxiety meds, marijuana, and alcohol. Nothing has helped. I tried meditation, diet changes, Reiki, and acupuncture. Nothing helps except sleep and no noise period. At this point my marriage is in shambles. I need to quit my job. Anyone have anything that works?

Great, now people think all we need is acupuncture. Forget regenerative medicine.

I've had about 20 electro acupuncture treatments. It has made a noticeable difference in my tinnitus. It took about 7-8 sessions before I noticed a marked improvement. The loudness, as well as, the harshness has improved. I used to have at least 2 tones, one of which was a chirping that would...

There is a sure treatment for tinnitus by Acupuncture if the person who is going to treat know properly

Jazzed, What are your symptoms (anxiety, depression)? Are you ok without the meds? Found anything else to help with that or with the tinnitus? I have had a session of acupuncture for the first time for the T. Don't think it helped, but have another session in about 10 days.

Hi, I'm new and wondering how it's going with the T. Have you gone back for a repeat of the acupuncture? My T might be due to head trauma, I'm not sure. First stop for me will be ENT but first available appointment is May 1 :-( . After ENT, next stop will be acupuncture. Curious, if you still...

...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...

Wise decision (y)

Against my better judgement, I've now booked acupuncture on Sunday. My logical brain is howling at the prospect. My ears are saying "Just give it a shot".

I am hoping that in 6 months I will feel better too! Going for acupuncture today, hope it will help

I have tried accupuncture and it also provides temporary relief from H and T. It is like going to the physiotherapist, stretching etc. They all can help with the symptoms but cannot cure T or H, specially when they are triggered again by noise.

I stumbled across this thread because I just had my 3rd acupuncture treatment and I haven’t gone to sleep yet but I can already hear that my T has spiked. I told the acupuncturist that it happened after the last treatment- I think my T has a component of damage to the auditory nerve, if I open...

What are you having acupuncture for. Is it for the T or to clear a blockage? I've only had acupuncture once and my acupuncturist said we need to clear the blockage before we deal with the T. I'm on a course of tablets at the moment to help my inner ear problem, but once the course is done I'm...

Yes, that's what my acupuncturist said too. The high pitch went down eventually. But ultimately, and in hindsight, I don't think acupuncture made any difference to be honest. Only burned a hole in my wallet.

@ruben ruiz, It's your choice, but acupuncture, has no proven efficacy, in curing or diminishing T. I've invested over $5,000 and 8 months, wasting time with acupuncture treatments and Chinese herbs. My T is exactly the same level it was, at the beginning of those treatments. I went to a well...

I did acupuncture for about 8 sessions, and it did not help. Most of the time it did not affect my sound. The other times when my tinnitus was more quiet or more loud were coincidence.

@InfiniteLoop To answer your question - how long did it last, it lasted for about 2 days. The second day I had acupuncture, it got loud again with the static sound. I went to acupuncture again today, I am feeling better again. A low hiss every now and then but the crickets sound is still there...

Rest your ears... try to relax... maybe a few beers/ exercise... a sports massage is a good idea... going to try some acupuncture next week myself.... but yeah when voice are painful it’s very distressing... but it does get better with time...

I agree. I've tried a chiropractor and also acupuncture to see if that would help my condition. I thought my 3 chiro visits helped as well, as there was immediate relief with the adjustments, but I felt he was limited in what he knew about upper cervical care after the 3 visits. I'm planning to...

...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...

acupuncture is one of the tinnitus "treatments" many people in plight try but most do not benefit from it...too bad

I'm also going to test acupuncture, I've had very good results in the past to repair sleep with it, but never tried for my T.

...on and wanting to walk off a building. I remember being so tired by not sleeping for 4 days, I almost fell on my face outside after acupuncture appointment. I was on YouTube, was pumping sounds in my ears not knowing I also had a form of hyperacusis at the time aggravating things. Then I...

Good advice!

depends on what's causing your headache... tumeric, fish oil, vit d3, heat and cold packs, massage, TENS, acupuncture, sleep, magnesium, water are all helpful
