I have tinnitus and want to treat it. Is there a pressure point for tinnitus?

A complete intake is necessary to treat you accordingly
There are many reasons for tinnitus. I encourage you to book a session with your practitioner of choice to get help with relief.
Tinnitus is meant you have ringing in your ears meaning you have kidney deficiency. I suggest you look for acupuncture and imperial or king herbs for help to get rid of this!
Tinnitus is best treated with acupuncture by an experienced, licensed and board certified acupuncturist. Check the NCCAOM website and your state acupuncture board to find a provider.
Acupuncture is extremely complex (I went through four years of a Masters program to learn the basics), so unfortunately there aren't single points to treat any given symptom. I would call around to acupuncturists near you to see if they've had success treating tinnitus. If they have, be ready for a series of treatments. Good luck.
Yes, around the ear has some points you can pressure for tinnitus. Also, some points on the body can support, but it is hard to tell you where they are. You can get an acupuncture book to find them or go to a clinic to ask an acupuncturist.
Two things:
1. Acupressure's effectiveness pales in comparison to acupuncture's. Treatment effects using needles come on faster and last longer. In my experience, there's really no comparison, acupuncture is far superior in helping people get where they want to be with their health issues.
2. Acupuncture, at least in my experience, is not all that effective with tinnitus. This condition is something of a Holy Grail for acupuncturists. It takes sustained treatment over several months, using needles to maybe achieve some improvement in tinnitus.
Do I think acupressure can cause any lasting improvement to tinnitus? No, I do not. Do I think acupuncture can cause any lasting improvement to tinnitus? Sometimes, but it takes a great deal of treatment. If Chinese medicine is something you want to try, I'd suggest going to NCCAOM.org, use their "Find a Practitioner" lookup, and visit a local, board certified acupuncturist.
