    Acupuncture for Tinnitus

    I completed ten sessions of SuJok acupuncture (which exclusively places needles on the fingers). During those sessions, I didn't feel any changes, but I was told that the effects should start to manifest in the coming days. Has anyone had experience with this type of acupuncture?
