Acupuncture As Tinnitus Treatment

Acupuncture As Tinnitus Treatment
By Michael Mueller

Tinnitus can be considered as a widespread disease. Millions of
people worldwide suffer in tinnitus. In Germany, for example, it
is assumed that at least three million people suffer in this
annoying and sometimes even dangerous disease.

But what is tinnitus? – Tinnitus is defined in medicine as
ringing or buzzing in the ears. The sounds, which only patients
can hear, can have a lot of different forms like high-frequency
ringing or low–frequency buzzing. All kind of noises are
imaginable. For people, who suffer in tinnitus, this is of
course often very bothering and affects the person’s life
considerably.

Causes for tinnitus are very manifold. Mostly tinnitus is
caused by an extreme noise pollution. For example loud music in
discotheques or at a rock concert is a quite common cause. But
also psychological problems like stress can lead to tinnitus.
Sometimes even pressure equalization during an air flight can be
a reason for tinnitus.

So to be able to cure tinnitus at first it is necessary to find
the causes for it and to eliminate these causes. Only then a
therapy can be promising. There are lots of different methods of
treatment for tinnitus. However,

every patient will react on
them differently and so it is not possible to describe one
method which will always help.

But one promising method, which is often disregarded, is
acupuncture. Personal stories of tinnitus patients, who are
treated with acupuncture, show that this method of treatment can
be a reasonable alternative in comparison with orthodox
medicine. In ear special points at the patient’s
ears are treated with needles. Normally such a treatment lasts
for several months. But in most cases at least a decrease of the
bothering noise is recognisable. Often it can be cured totally.

So a treatment of tinnitus with should always be
considered and discussed with an ear specialist.
