I'm going to try acupuncture in the coming days for my T and H,I'll post my updates here for anyone interested.

I saw 2 acupuncturists close to the onset of my t over 2 years ago now. I was given herbs and weekly sessions of acupuncture for about a month each time. I didn't notice any demonstrable effect on my tinnitus volume either way. At the time, I was hell bent on a cure, so I didn't see the...

If the cause of tinnitus is nerve damage to the hair cells sticking needles in is not going to help unless your susceptible to the placebo effect. I had acupuncture and Chinese medicine years ago for chronic nausea the practitioner told me I'd be better within 2 weeks, it did nothing.

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

Thanks for your replies. After I take acupuncture and also medication like Zhi Bai Di Huang Wan (知柏地黄丸) and 夏桑菊颗粒, both Chinese Herbal Medicines, my ear pain found some relief. People can not get treatment for tinnitus at the hospitals in Denmark and I went to local Chinese clinic for...

My tinnitus spiked in my non T ear after acupuncture, I think. It might have been a coincidence but it seemed to do it right after.

As someone who has tried acupuncture and chiropractor with no positive effect, I'll wait for the clinical trials to come out. I mean if a bit of pressure behind the ears is all it took to alleviate tinnitus you'd think it would have been worked out a long time ago.

Have tried any treatment over the years? I've only had T for a month, I'm thinking of having acupuncture or trying Cranelsacrel Therepy

I've had my tinnitus for several years (not even sure how long for) so not sure if acupuncture would be as effective for long term cases. I'll speak to them anyway and see what they say. Thanks Ronnie.

Julia, I've had spikes like that after various treatments, including acupuncture, chiropractic, etc. Twice, after having acupuncture, my T spiked, plus I had vertigo. One time, the vertigo was so bad that I could hardly eat for two days. Those spikes proved to be temporary, and my tinnitus...

I was going to try acupuncture but most results here are negative. I guess since it's a forum for T 'suffers' it's natural for not too many acupuncture success stories to be here, but it's expensive and I feel like it's a financial risk. I e-mailed one in my area and still might give it a go...

As with many paramedical methods, the principle of action of acupuncture is the placebo effect. There is also the nocebo effect... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nocebo

@Asian: They gave CBT and sound therapy along acupuncture/herbs. There is no control group to determine placebo effect. This is just likely to be another self-serving report. I tried acupuncture for several months with zero results besides that it was a relaxing experience. The...

Accupuncture is part of tradicional Chinese medicine and takes years to learn. I went to a Chinese clinic for it.

...their eye teeth to get even a little bit of temporary relief by whatever means. -- Not to necessarily disagree with you about whether acupuncture can or cannot cure t or h, but I would postulate there's a good chance temporary relief could become more durable and longer lasting if...

Could you please tell me the brand of the electronic acupuncture pen you used since I would like to try it also. Thanks.

I have never tried Clonazepam before, so please take heed of others' advice on this issue. I have had 5 sessions of acupuncture since developing tinnitus in July 2019. I still hear it, but have more or less gotten used to it at its current level for the time being. When I first developed...

What kind of stretches are you doing? I don't know what protocol to go with ...started acupuncture, but also have a good chiropractor who I could use.

Whatever you can do to reassure your brain that the noise is unimportant will help you habituate. Good luck with trt..acupuncture..hypno ☺

...from the same problem but there is a certain percentage can not be cured. I was one of them. I must say during all this period I tried acupuncture as well but this didn't help too. The one who does the acupuncture to me is a very good and very experienced doctor of medicine, He knows the...

i have Chronic Tinnitus trying Acupuncture Bangkok $15 USD a time, i Live in BKK feel someday it gets Quieter .. has anyone had success?

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 tried acupuncture a few days ago. -- Some people were sleeping but I found it hard to relax since I kept wanting to scratch myself where the needles were. Ha ha.. -- I will go again but didn't do much except stress me out that I had to drive 1/2 hour each way which means each session will take...

Thanks for sharing your perspective on all this. I will hold off on any acupuncture for sure. Funny enough I actually have to get some crowns redone and a cavity fixed. I've asked they use no supersonic instruments but after your comment and another on dental work I saw today, I am really...

After 5 sessions, I stopped acupuncture. I still think acupuncture could work, but I think I had the wrong person. My sessions were 20 to 30 minutes, and the acupuncturist only put 2 to 3 needles in each ear, without precision it seemed to me. He also put needles in my wrist and forehead, and...

I have no idea what that even is! But thank you for the suggestion. Now I'm off to do some research. And of course the only question that matters to me is, if that or anything similar has happened, how in the world would I fix it? I do think this guy was experienced and also went to real...

That being true, I need to find what will help me. Yes a vicious cycle for sure. I am doing acupuncture and anti depressants.

Whoops. Sorry, meant to quote @Danielle85 and respond: Great that you got some benefit from acupuncture. I've gotten some benefit with low back pain (I tested on and off with treatment and it seemed pretty clear to me that acupuncture was working, but it obviously wasn't a scientific study)...

@Madhan - where exactly did you go in VA and with who? I'm nearby and would be willing to give acupuncture another shot based on your experience.

You read many of these horror stories on here from people permanently worsening from medication. I'm wondering to what extent co-supplementation with antioxidants like N-acetyl cysteine can protect against this drug-induced damage to the auditory system. According to this study, "NAC reduces...

How did you get rid of the lightheadedness/dizziness after the viral infection?

...my tinnitus to medium (was improving some though). I was in the midst of hoping that would improve. And I didn't even go to this guy for acupuncture! I also thought I caught COVID-19, and was having headaches I didn't have before. So a friend suggested Chinese medicine might help. That's what...

...for life. Ive been to an ENT doctor and that turned out about as I expected, I got a big medical bill out of it. Ive recently tried acupuncture and it seemed to help a bit at first but then my tinnitus went back to baseline. Anyone have any success with acupuncture out there? Im thinking...

...there's definitely some stress involved in all of this (but it's not the reason for it). I am mapping a plan of action: 1. Try acupuncture tomorrow. 2. Neck stretches to loosen and strengthen the SCM. Rotate each side for ten seconds, and tilt each side for ten seconds. 3. Warm compress on...

@kelpiemsp from your mouth to God's ear! :)

Did you take antibiotics for lung infection and ear infection?

...provides you with sympathy and makes you feel like someone is hearing your pain - but otherwise is unlikely to help - same for acupuncture and other alternative therapies. If you have the money that's fine - otherwise I would advise you not to waste any more money. Come on Tinnitus Talk - you...

Just an update. My ringing has now gone. Just under 10 days after noise exposure. I had two sessions of acupuncture that seemed to help greatly. :)

...a month non stop until yesterday. Life was horrible. It started with crickets sound and then static added after that. I started doing acupuncture along with Ayurvedic remedy using sesame oil. My tinnitus was noise induced. Since yesterday night I saw an improvement in the static sound...

...to think, feel, read, or write) would benefit greatly from talk therapy and journaling and self-help books. I always benefit from acupuncture. I've also benefited from chiropractic work and massage in the past. Exercise is also helping me a bit. I just to have to summon the motivation to do...

@Nics2drescue I've just been reading all of your posts, I wish I had seen them earlier before I went for acupuncture last Saturday. Looks like the damage has already been done, I am going through exactly what you went through. A new constant high pitched tone that I have never had before, more...

Mine is noise induced and acupuncture never helped, but I have read and heard positive results when the T was caused by blow to the head. Good luck.

Thx man. I tried a low histamine diet. It was very very strict, but it didn't do a whole lot. I did carnivore diet for a few weeks, and it did nothing. Acupuncture has been the only thing so far that has helped. The delayed pain is the worst!

I've gotten all kinds of reactions after doing acupuncture: 1) Can increase tinnitus; 2) Can decrease it; 3) can remain the same. My early visits to the acupuncturist shortly after my started produced virtually no improvements. After a few months, I started to occasionally notice modest...

...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.

My T spiked after third time acupuncture last afternoon,and still spike now after HBOT TREATMENT this morning. Someone in this thread mentioned it may not be a bad sign.

@Nikopol I actually do acupuncture on myself, but there's a pretty stark difference between DIY and what someone with experience doing trigger point work can accomplish

...has any meaningful impact at all, hearing aids, sound therapy, masking (ha!), Lenire, benzodiazepines, antidepressants, meditation, acupuncture, supplements, mindfulness, talk therapy, crazy hippy ass treatments. Nothing has made a meaningful difference and 95% have made no difference at all...

hi Amm , you can try valerian root , or black cohosh , it will keep ya calm ...i reccomand acupuncture as well ..the sooner the better ..youll be ok

I think a major reason acupuncture helps is because of its ability to harmonize energy flows in the head and body. Most people, and certainly conventional medicine, rarely think in term of the way energy is flowing (or not flowing) in our body. But I think it's a major factor in tinnitus...

...dying. I’m just not quite over the fence yet. Who knows what would happen tbh. If I got any worse, not sure what I would do. I’m going to keep doing acupuncture for half a year and see where it gets me. I might be on to something. I’m just trying to make it will the regen meds. Probably 3-5...

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?

I've had 10 acupuncture treatments, it works, quite a few of them have made a permanent reduction. I still have it though, my T occurred after an anxiety attack.

Hi Guys, I thought I would update about acupuncture I have been receiving. I have had 3 treatments and I have to say somehow it has actually had an affect on the high-pitched pulsatile tinnitus, which is most likely somatic PT. When I move my neck and jaw the squealing noise is at least 50%...

...low sodium helps you, I don’t notice too much of a difference, stress and noise seems to greatly affect my tinnitus. I actually thought acupuncture was crap until I tried it. I put it off for 8 months. I’m glad I tried finally. I hate needles too but if you read how much pain I was in I...

...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...

Thank you very much for the advice.

Hi Trish,I know people who have had acupuncture a few times and had some short term relief but only short lived and tinnitus returned.....lots of love glynis

I did 5 sessions of acupuncture and I DID improve. Waiting for my sixth session. I'm also going to take Chinese herbs because according to my acupuncturist it will stabilize my T.

...I myself have made a contact with a pain management doctor who works with my mother (anesthesiologist at a hospital) and she does medical acupuncture and nerve blocks for pain. She told me that she has no previous experience with tinnitus, but she will study the Korean technique and she will...
