Acupuncture treatment has its use in tinnitus associated with neck and jaw tension.

We look together at around the ear, the back of the neck, the temporomandibular joint area, and the shoulders. If the sound of your tinnitus changes when you turn your head or clench your teeth, there is a possibility this part is involved.

However, to state the expectation precisely: tinnitus accompanying noise-induced or age-related hearing loss is a change in hearing itself, so acupuncture does not alter it. Even in this case, it can still play the role of reducing the reaction to the tinnitus by addressing sleep and tension.

Treatment around the ear is carried out shallowly and with care. We do not put needles inside the ear canal.
