Hearing, thinking, and brain activity in tinnitus
Part of Brain & nervous system, Ear, nose & throat clinical trials.
This study explores how tinnitus (ringing in the ears) affects hearing, thinking, and brain activity by comparing people with chronic tinnitus to those without. It may help researchers understand the links between these factors.

This study uses brain imaging (fMRI) and blood tests to understand why some people with sudden hearing loss develop tinnitus (ringing in the ears) while others do not. It may help researchers find better ways to prevent or treat 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.
This study tests a traditional Chinese medicine treatment called 'Dao qi Tong Luo' for chronic tinnitus. It uses a safe brain scan (fNIRS) to see how the treatment affects brain connections related to hearing.
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 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.
