Hi, it's been a while since I posted anything. The last thing was about acupuncture, which unfortunately did not help or cure my tinnitus. A few months ago after CT and MRI scans which were all negative I was referred to Audiology Department who diagnosed slight hearing loss in my left ear, the...

Hi All, I had my 6th session of acupuncture yesterday, the therapist used candles in both my ears, electros on some of needles plus a lot of needles around my body and ears. He also used small round sticky paper dot patches with a tiny seed in the middle he stuck these in several position on...

Boiler room noise really great, I use white or pink noise sometimes with a stream in the back ground. But this really cool......and helps even now with TV on. BTW I have another acupunture appointment tomorrow, 5th one but nothing really changed, also 2 more doses of Prednisolne that the ENT...

Thank you, it is very interesting I now don’t feel as if I’m wasting my money. Regards. Jack.

Exactly worth a try.......

Yes, anything is worth a try to get rid of T. Regards. Jack.

Hi all. I had an appointment with an ENT consultant, MRI and CT scans were normal, so no physical cause of my tinnitus. He also, sent me for a hearing test, my hearing was good so again no sign of the cause of my tinnitus. I first went to the ENT clinic in October last year, when I suddenly...

Hi, I have just had my acupuncture treatment today the cost for me was £60 a session, here in the UK. I’ve had 4 sessions now and can’t see any improvement. I don’t know how many you need but I certainly can’t afford 30! My acupuncturist is English but practices traditional Chinese medicine and...

As I have said in previous post I have had 3 acupunture treatments so far no relief, I have more booked this week but I don't hold much hope. You have given me an idea, I know a very experienced chiropractor and I will definitely try him. He treated me a few years ago for back issues but it...

Thank you for the reply, I may try as anything is worth looking at to try to rid myself of T. Regards. Jack

Hi All, Has anyone tried physiotherapy for tinnitus I am thinking of trying it? Regards. Jack.

Thank you you are correct my T only started end of January. So I’m desperate for relief and a cure. I get some relief in sound apps to help sleep. At the moment I use sleeping pills as I don’t think I would sleep without them. I will persist with the acupuncture. Thank you all for support it’s...

Hi For the first time since the short time I’ve had tinnitus I slept very well I did not use headphones or ear Apple buds, I just put a blue tooth speaker by my pillow and played white noise——It worked I slept all night without the T bothering me wonderful I will try it again tonight. Thank...

Thanks for the reply, I will adjust the volume. I’ve just found a great app on the apple App Store called Tinnitus Threapy it is just sound the one I found to mask my T, is called Full Spectrum White Noise. For the moment acutualy works well in masking my T. Best regards Jack.

Hi All, Thanks for the advice on apps, I’ve downloaded a few but need to get the right one or mix. I will look on App Store on my Apple phone, I tried a couple hypnosis apps but my mind gets used to it and my tinnitus fights the app and now wins. I can’t even contemplate sleeping without...

Hi all, I had another session of tradional acupunture yesterday this is my 3 nd session and to be honest last night and this morning my T is more servere high pithed scream. The new tone kept me awake last night I have further sessions booked for next week but I think that I will cancel as it...

Hi, and thank you all for replies. Thanks Glynis I will try under pillow speakers, what is best stuff to listen to, I have tried hypnosis but after a few times they don’t work and I hear the T over the voice. I have tried masking sounds but these cause the T to compete with them and the T wins...

Hi, As I said before I’m new to tinnitus and this forum, but I’m encouraged by the support and information and replies from members. Thank you Glynis and MichaelB for advice. Alll the replies indicate it would be bad for my ears to continue to use any type of head phones. I have another...

Thank you I thought headphone were a no no I will look a pillow speaker or use my phone through a Bluetooth speaker. Many thanks.

Hi, Thank you for the advice, very much appreciated. All the best.

Hi, I find sleeping hard, the tinnitus keeps me awake and wakes me up if I manage to get to sleep. To help I've downloaded some sleep apps, nature, sea, rivers, birds etc, along with a couple of hypnosis apps. Could anyone advise me on the best type of headphones to use and what volume. I...

Not very encouraging! I have another session booked for Thursday it’s only 6 miles from where I live but expensive. Anyway thank you for the response, I will let the forum know how it goes.

Hi all, I had my first acupuncture treatment today for my tinnitus, I’ve seen this particular practioner before for other stuff but this was the first time for my tinnitus. He also practices Chinese medicine, he is very experienced, I related my story that the tinnitus just appeared on the 29th...

Hi, Thanks for a reply I have acupuncture treatments booked on Thursday and a massage tomorrow from an holistic practitioner, I hope that something works. As I said in my original post I am still waiting for the result of my CT scan so until I get the result I can’t get any further medical...
