Recruiting studies
- NCT06641999Recruiting
Tinnitus implant study for adults with chronic tinnitus and hearing loss
This trial tests if a special implant can reduce tinnitus loudness in adults who have had chronic tinnitus for at least 6 months and have some hearing loss. You may qualify if your tinnitus is severe and not helped by standard treatments like hearing aids or therapy.
Edegem, BelgiumAges 18 years+ - NCT06782308Recruiting

Neurofeedback training for tinnitus relief
This study tests a non-invasive brain training method called neurofeedback to help reduce the distress caused by tinnitus, which is a constant ringing or buzzing in the ears. If you have bothersome tinnitus, this treatment might help you feel better.
Urbana, IllinoisAges 18–70 - NCT07393880Recruiting
Sound and training for chronic tinnitus
This trial combines sound therapy with electrical stimulation and auditory training to reduce chronic tonal tinnitus. It may help if you have had constant ringing in your ears for more than 3 months but less than 5 years.
Dublin, DublinAges 18–80 - NCT07298499Enrolling by invitation
Hearing aids and sound therapy for tinnitus
This trial tests using hearing aids with built-in tinnitus maskers to see if they help adults who have both hearing loss and ringing in the ears. It aims to find out if these devices improve hearing and reduce tinnitus symptoms.
Broomfield, ColoradoAges 18 years+ - NCT07017998Recruiting
External device therapy for constant tinnitus
This study tests a new external device designed to help manage constant tinnitus. It is for adults aged 18–55 who have had bothersome ringing in their ears for at least a month and are not currently receiving other tinnitus treatments.
Bozeman, MontanaAges 18–55 - NCT06623123RecruitingPhase 3

Stevenage, HertfordshireAges 18 years+ - NCT07071480Recruiting
Noninvasive sound therapy for chronic tinnitus
This trial tests a noninvasive device to reduce the loudness and burden of chronic tinnitus. It may help people who have constant tinnitus and are not currently using other treatments.
Miami, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT07070089Recruiting
Stent implant for severe heartbeat-synchronized ear ringing
This trial tests whether placing a small mesh tube (stent) in a narrowed brain vein can stop severe, pulse-synchronous tinnitus—a whooshing sound that matches your heartbeat. It is for people whose tinnitus is very bothersome and has not improved with other treatments.
Ottawa, CanadaAges 18–80 - NCT05434637Recruiting
Somatosensory tinnitus treatment study
This study tests a physical therapy approach for people whose tinnitus (ringing in the ears) can be changed by moving their head, neck, or jaw. It aims to see if this treatment can reduce the bothersome nature of the sound.
Portland, OregonAges 18 years+ - NCT07185061Recruiting
Sound treatment for chronic tinnitus
This study tests whether a special sound-based treatment can help people with chronic tinnitus (ringing in the ears). If your tinnitus has lasted more than six months and you don't have other ear or brain problems, you may be able to join.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18 years+ - NCT07267455Recruiting
Personalized brain stimulation for chronic tinnitus
This study tests a noninvasive brain stimulation technique called personalized transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) to see if it can reduce the loudness or annoyance of chronic tinnitus. Participation involves daily sessions for 5 days at the hospital.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–80 - NCT07711639Recruiting
Tinnitus treatment with nerve stimulation
This trial tests a non-invasive treatment that stimulates a nerve in your ear or foot (called taVNS) to see if it helps reduce tinnitus. It is for people whose main problem is tinnitus and who have normal hearing in both ears.
Hualien CityAges 18–75 - NCT03511807Recruiting
Tests sound and mild electrical stimulation for tinnitus relief
This study tests whether adding sound and/or mild electrical stimulation can reduce tinnitus (ringing or other noises in the ear). It is looking for adults who have had tinnitus for at least 6 months and can complete questionnaires about what they feel.
Irvine, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07702149Recruiting
Diet for Behcet's disease patients with ringing in the ears
This trial tests whether a special diet can help ringing in the ears (tinnitus) in people with Behcet's disease who also have obesity. The goal is to see if dietary changes reduce tinnitus symptoms.
Giza, DokkiAges 40–55 - NCT04066348RecruitingPhase 2
TNF medication trial for blast-related tinnitus
This Phase 2 study tests whether a TNF-α medicine can reduce tinnitus symptoms after blast or loud noise exposure, sometimes with traumatic brain injury. You may be a candidate if your tinnitus is at least moderately severe and stable over time, and if you meet other health and medication rules.
Celebration, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT04192773RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Brain-scan study of IV lidocaine for tinnitus
This early study uses an MRI/brain scan to see how IV lidocaine affects brain activity in people with tinnitus, and also compares it with people without tinnitus or with different hearing patterns. It may help researchers understand whether lidocaine could change tinnitus signals in the brain.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT04296097Recruiting
Deep brain stimulation for severe, steady disabling tinnitus
This study tests whether deep brain stimulation (a device that sends controlled signals to the brain) can reduce severe, constant tinnitus that has not improved with usual treatments. It may help lower the loudness distress and improve daily quality of life for people whose tinnitus is especially disabling.
GrenobleAges 18–75 - NCT04717388Recruiting
Study brain and feelings in people with tinnitus

Beijing, FranceAges 16–90 - NCT05679271Recruiting
Stent treatment for low-grade dural AV fistula causing ringing
This trial tests whether placing a small tube (stent) inside a brain vein-sinus can reduce a pulsating ringing sound caused by a “dural arteriovenous fistula” (DAVF). It’s for people whose tinnitus matches the DAVF location and who meet imaging and medication safety requirements.
BordeauxAges 18 years+ - NCT06364670Recruiting
Acupuncture for tinnitus: brain imaging study
This study is testing whether acupuncture can help treat tinnitus by using a special brain imaging technique (fNIRS) to see how the brain responds. It may help find out who benefits most from acupuncture.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18–60 - NCT06401993Recruiting
