It is "touted" to, however, I find that craniosacral work is best for tinnitus, moreso than acupuncture.
Yes
Yes, it can help with tinnitus.
Yes, acupuncture can be helpful for tinnitus but there are many variables. There has been research done that supports acupuncture as an option to treat tinnitus. Dr. Ruth
I have found ringing in the ears or tinnitus to be tricky when I treat this with acupuncture. In my experience the cases who respond the best are the ones who started having tinnitus after an infection, such as a virus. I have not had success with cases who had been exposed to loud noises, such as continuous sounds from airplane engines, guns firing, and loud banging, as well as those related to a head injury.
Generally, yes! Acupuncture can help ringing ears! However it probably requires the used of herbs in conjunction. Every patient is assessed individually. The Nature of Chinese Medicine is that patients could have the same manifestation of a symptom, but the root cause may be quite different! An individual intake and diagnosis is required! If it is based on a deficiency it usually tale longer than if based on excess symptoms! Merle Morgan L.Ac, Dip OM 310 699 9616

Yes. According to Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), ringing in the ear suggests you have a kidney deficiency. Acupuncture and herbs should help you out gradually.
I believe there are acupuncturists who treat tinnitus. Call around and ask those practicing nearest you.

Ringing in the ears (tinnitus) is something of the holy grail for acupuncturists. It's very difficult to treat and often simply doesn't respond. I've had patients who've gotten improvement and I've had patients who experienced absolutely no change after a series of treatments.
Similar to the world of conventional medicine where sometimes a given doctor is simply better with a given health condition relative to otherwise qualified providers, some acupuncturists are better with tinnitus than others. If you decide to pursue acupuncture treatment, I'd look for someone who is a board certified acupuncturist in your state (an L.Ac. or R.Ac. credential) and who has a good track record with tinnitus.
