Acupuncture seems to have some value, so much so that some acupuncturists specialize in tinnitus.

I have tinnitus, bad. Constant high pitched tone. I’ve talked to at least 10 doctors and 100 people. So far there is nothing, except large amounts of alcohol. :-)

My husband has terrible tinnitus. At this point, I think he would try accupunction. I’m going to suggest it.

“Acupuncture seems to have some value”

Tried it with a couple different Chinese acupuncturists. No relief at all. Even had the gold pins that stay in your ears for about a week.

I’ve had tinnitus for about 2 years now. No known cause. sometimes it’s just age— I’m 44. I joined the American Tinnitus Association so I can keep tabs on research and developments of cures/treatments. I don’t think the ATA recommends acupuncture as a legitimate therapy, but I wouldn’t interfere with someone’s personal quest to find relief.
