Other trials that look related to this one.
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.
This study tests whether a gentle brain stimulation technique called tDCS can help people with tinnitus. Volunteers will receive either real or fake stimulation to see if it reduces tinnitus symptoms.
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.
This study tests whether combining two treatments early on (within the first 8 weeks of tinnitus) works better than using one treatment later. They may use gentle brain stimulation (tDCS) and sound therapy to help quiet the noise.
This study tests whether acupuncture (thin needles inserted at specific points) can reduce tinnitus symptoms compared to a placebo acupuncture (sham) treatment. It aims to see if real acupuncture provides more relief for people with long-term tinnitus.
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.
