Can acupuncture cure tinnitus?
Tinnitus is something which reminds you that life is not always plain sailing.
It also robs you of absolute peace and quiet, because that’s when it is noisiest.
Accupunture could alleviate it, but I’m sure it wouldn’t in itself cure it, ad tinnitus is an effect, and before the effect goes, we must find the cause.
See?
Difficult one that.
Good luck

LAUD you for your compassion and initiative...

"If you really look
after yourself and learn to get in touch
with
how you are feeling inside and learn to process that, that is the way
out of tinnitus. Most people spend their whole lives running away from
themselves, filling their lives with furious frantic activity, proving
this, doing that. The best thing you can do is sit with yourself and
notice how you are, how you are treating yourself. And if you can treat
yourself with loving kindness and really accept how you are with a
really wonderful, open-hearted, deep, caring approach, just like you
would mother a baby, for example. If you can really look after
yourself, your nervous system will change. Nothing is fixed. Everything
is constantly changing and flowing, and it is entirely dependent on the
way you approach yourself. Look after yourself, and your tinnitus will
back off."
Wow,
good stuff...
“I REALLY appreciate your asking Julian about my questions this morning! You posed them in such a clear and dear way and protective of my ‘identity”. It is amazing that I was home and able to listen. I had over slept, (I am on vacation) had missed an early appointment for my car and so I called, cancelled it and looked on my computer and it was 8 minutes to the broadcast! Was I surprised, delighted and grateful to hear you both discuss the issues that are pressing me. I thank you. I also am taking your website and Julian’s advice and working on awareness of RED-ALERT and difficulty surrendering or relaxing into support. Wow, good stuff. Julian reminds me a bit of Ekhart Tolle. Doesn’t he you? And funny to say, you remind me of myself when you are questioning him! With gratitude”

I really feel you're going to make some peoples' lives millions of times better. I really do.
I would just like to say thank you for what you are doing. This world is really lacking people like you that aren't all about themselves. It really makes me pleased to see that you're getting your and Julian's ideas out there, and I really feel you're going to make some peoples' lives millions of times better. I really do.

"It's not unethical
to say that it's incurable, it's just
totally
incorrect. In fact, if I go back and I look at the cases that I've
worked on, and I've worked with thousands of people over a decade, and
the vast majority, are either dramatically better, or their tinnitus is
gone. One of the two."

"I can say in good
conscience that tinnitus is curable. That's
the
bottom line: that tinnitus is curable, and I dare say, for just about
everyone who comes down with it."
Please don't tell the ATA
"As I may have mentioned earlier, ATA.org is incredibly mediocre (if that much!), compared to your organization. I even found the British T. site far superior to ATA.org and now, I have found you guys!!!"

"It's such an
incredibly low volume if I recognize it once a
week
it's just because I'm out in the backyard looking at the stars thanking
the universe for what it has given to me, and I go 'how did I get to
this point?" Oh yeah tinnitus helped me get here. Let's listen to it
for a second, let's pay hommage to the tinnitus for a second and go
thanks you did some good work. Thank you.

I think acupunture can cure almost anything, but is only your mind…
Every cure is in your mind!

Personally I'm sceptical of acupuncture and reiki, but I know several people who swear by it – including my mother. She was cursed with terrible migraines for years, but hasn't had one since going for acupuncture treatment.
But to be more specific to your question, apparently acupuncture can be used for all sorts of ailments – both physical and mental. The most important point to remember is that there are no side effects, so a worst case scenario is that the tinnitus won't be cured. It certainally won't be made any worse.
Good luck!

People with chronic tinnitus without an easily treatable cause, are encouraged not to listen for their tinnitus and aim to concentrate on other things.
If the hearing is impaired, wearing a hearing aid often helps by "masking out" the problem sound with the amplified external signal. In much the same way, special devices (that look like hearing aids) are used as part of tinnitus retraining treatment. These produce particular sounds to mask out the noise of the tinnitus which is accompanied with training to help block out the annoying aspects of tinnitus.
The psychological attitude that you have towards your tinnitus is crucial and people with a positive attitude to dealing with it tend to find it more manageable.
Depression or anxiety can make tinnitus more of a problem and treatment of these conditions may help bring some relief. A range of other treatments including dietary supplements, electromagnetic stimulation and medicines (including antiepileptics and anti-sickness drugs) have been tried, but their effectiveness has not be proven.
Complementary therapy
Any therapy that promotes relaxation and a sense of wellbeing may be useful in relieving tinnitus or the distress it causes. Techniques include yoga, the Alexander technique, meditation, hypnosis and acupuncture. The herbal remedy ginkgo biloba is promoted as a cure for tinnitus but good-quality scientific studies have shown it does not work any better than a placebo (dummy treatment).

Acupuncture can help some cases of tinnitus.
It will depend on what the cause is.
Speak to a qualified acupuncturist that you can find here
http://www.tcmdirectory.com/practitioners/acupuncturists/
to see if they can help you.
If there is no physical/structural damage then it is possible.

Sraight no!
If the condition has been prolonged and you have seen an ENT surgeon, I promise he had no motive for hiding a cure from you! Unfortunately he will have advised you there isn't one. Masking or surgical ablation are the only options.

Fortunately, conventional medicine does not have a monopoly on peoples health as there are things on offer to help – one of which is acupuncture. It is the right thing for some people – remember that it's the individual at work here! I do hope that it works for you – I've referred many cases to my colleague who is an acupuncturist & he's had great successes.

I’m currently doing acupuncture. I have my third treatment coming up. My hearing problems and tinnitus have caused me bad headaches, stress, dizziness, and insomnia as well. I’m sure one way to alleviate tinnitus is to treat other ailments and conditions that I have or that tinnitus is causing, so acupuncture can only help my situation as of now. It’s been a good experience thus far.
