Yes
Tinnitus (ringing in your ears) usually indicates a kidney deficiency. I suggest you look for an experienced acupuncture practitioner who uses imperial or king herbs for help to get relief.
Yes.
yes. I encourage you to book a session with your practitioner of choice to get help with relief.
Yes, it can help with tinnitis.
Yes can help over time.
I have seen it clear up in one patient. Not terribly optimistic about it when the ringing is caused by repetitive exposure to explosions or repetitive damaging sound levels.
I have found tinnitus to be very difficult to treat, but I have heard that other practitioners have had good luck with it. I suggest you call around and see if anyone near you has had luck treating it.
Yes. Acupuncture can be very effective in treating tinnitus (ringing in the ears).
Only for the acute symptoms.
Yes, acupuncture can help ringing in the ears.
Acupuncture and herbs can help.
Acupuncture can help tinnitus/ringing, but it's not something that is corrected quickly. Acupuncture in tinnitus is a long term strategy and patients have to be very consistent about showing up. I don't think I've ever improved tinnitus for a patient in anything less than 10-15 treatments.

Tinnitus can often also have a lifestyle component. Exposure to loud noises or loud noises in confined spaces can have a cumulative impact on hearing. If a patient isn't willing to address these issues, assuming they exist, then acupuncture isn't going to be much help.
