Question for all..... One of my coworkers regularly goes to an acupuncturist and he says it totally controls the problem that started his trips there. Before he left to see the acupuncturist a month or two ago, I asked him to enquire as to whether acupuncture could do anything for tinnitus. The answer came back that acupuncture can work but not all the time... success rate is typically less than 50%. Does anyone have any experience with an acupuncturist in an effort to relieve tinnitus?

I tried acupuncture for tinnitus. I’ve had it for decades and the doctor said that the probability of success drops the longer you have had it. With decades long tinnitus, it’s approaching zero.

He said give me three tries and if you have any relief we will keep going. I didn’t get any relief but it was worth the try.
