Tinnitus (ringing in your ears) usually indicates a kidney deficiency. I suggest you look for an experienced acupuncture practitioner who uses imperial or king herbs for help to get relief.

I have seen it clear up in one patient. Not terribly optimistic about it when the ringing is caused by repetitive exposure to explosions or repetitive damaging sound levels.
I have found tinnitus to be very difficult to treat, but I have heard that other practitioners have had good luck with it. I suggest you call around and see if anyone near you has had luck treating it.
Acupuncture can help tinnitus/ringing, but it's not something that is corrected quickly. Acupuncture in tinnitus is a long term strategy and patients have to be very consistent about showing up. I don't think I've ever improved tinnitus for a patient in anything less than 10-15 treatments.
Tinnitus can often also have a lifestyle component. Exposure to loud noises or loud noises in confined spaces can have a cumulative impact on hearing. If a patient isn't willing to address these issues, assuming they exist, then acupuncture isn't going to be much help.
