Tinnitus !

Tinnitus is a medical symptom that can indicate damage to your ear or auditory system. It’s often described as ringing in the ears, but you could hear other sounds, such as buzzing, clicking, roaring, or humming.

For some, tinnitus comes and goes. For others, it can last for hours or days at a time. Regardless of how long it lasts, tinnitus can be a major disruption to your daily life, making it hard to concentrate or sleep.

While there’s no cure for tinnitus, a range of treatments can help, including acupuncture. That said, it’s still a good idea to see a healthcare provider first to rule out any underlying causes that might require treatment, such as:

abnormal growth or bone changes in your ears
head and neck injuries
congestion and sinus pressure
medical conditions, such as hyperthyroidism, high blood pressure, or Lyme disease
Read on to learn more about how acupuncture works and how it may help with tinnitus.

How does it work?
In traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), your health depends on the flow of qi (energy) in your body. This energy travels along invisible pathways, known as meridians. These are found throughout your body.

Qi is believed to help keep your body in balance and promote its natural ability to heal itself. A blocked or disrupted flow of qi can negatively impact physical and emotional well-being.

During an acupuncture session, very thin needles are inserted into your skin to stimulate certain points, based on the symptoms you’re addressing. This stimulation, according to TCM, helps to clear blockages along your meridians, restoring the flow of qi through your body.

TCM separates tinnitus into five categories based on the type of disruption to your qi.

For example, one potential cause of tinnitus is imbalance in the kidneys or gallbladder, since qi pathways run between these parts of your body and your ears. As a result, some acupuncturists might use abdominal points that address kidney imbalances.

But in general, acupuncture for tinnitus usually focuses on points in your ear.

The following points are typically used to help reduce effects of tinnitus:

Ermen (TB21)
Tinggong (SI19)
Tinghui (GB2)
Shangguan (GB3)
Yindu (KI19)
Taixi (KI3)
Fengchi (GB20)
Yifeng (SJ17)
Zhongzhu (SJ3)
Waiguan (SJ5)
Hegu (LI4)
Yanglao (SI6)

What does the research say?
A number of studies have looked at acupuncture as a treatment for tinnitus. Results are mixed, but many recent studies suggest acupuncture may decrease the intensity of tinnitus, boosting quality of life.

Still, there’s no evidence that acupuncture will make tinnitus worse, so it may be worth trying if you’re interested.

Is it safe to try?
When performed by a trained and experienced acupuncturist, acupuncture is fairly safe, according to the National Center for Complementary and Integrative HealthTrusted Source.
