Gerald's Tinnitus

This is a note to relate my very successful and pleasant experience as a patient of Master Shen-Li Wang. I had been suffering from tinnitus (ringing in both ears). For the most part, I learned to ignore the ringing but it was still quite annoying as well as interfering with my hearing. Most of what I could learn on-line about tinnitus treatment led me to believe that medical treatment was not particularly effective; so, I felt I would have to continue to live with it.

My wife, who was a patient of Master Wang, persuaded me to try acupuncture. I was skeptical but thought I had nothing to lose. After six weeks of acupuncture treatment the ringing in my left ear ceased. I continue to have some ringing in the right ear but it is approximately 50% diminished after six months. I am continuing treatment to try to get as much right ear improvement as possible. At this point, I am only conscious of the ringing when I deliberately pay attention to it. My hearing has significantly improved and I can fall asleep much faster than before. As a clinical psychologist, I now feel confident in recommending acupuncture to my own patients who I believe could be helped by it.

Sincerely,

Gerald A. Blechman, Ph.D.
