Early tinnitus treatment study combining two interventions
Part of Brain & nervous system, Ear, nose & throat clinical trials.
This study tests if using two treatments together early on (within 8 weeks of tinnitus starting) is better than one treatment later. It aims to help quiet tinnitus more effectively.

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.
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 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 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 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.
This study tests whether repeated magnetic pulses (TMS) can help people with ongoing tinnitus. If you have had tinnitus for at least 3 months and it bothers you enough to score 38 or more on the Tinnitus Handicap Inventory (THI), you may be eligible.
