Trial of nerve stimulation and music therapy for chronic tinnitus
Part of Ear, nose & throat clinical trials.
This study tests if a gentle nerve stimulation (like a small ear clip) combined with specially-designed music can help reduce the noise of chronic tinnitus. It's for people who have had bothersome tinnitus for over 6 months.

This trial tests if combining sound therapy with cognitive behavioral therapy helps people with chronic tinnitus (ringing in the ears lasting more than 3 months). It may be a good option if you have normal hearing or mild to moderate hearing loss and are in stable mental health.
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.
This trial studies whether a non-painful (skin-based) vagus nerve stimulation paired with customized notched music can reduce chronic ringing sounds in the ear compared with customized music alone. It may help people whose tinnitus has lasted at least 6 months and matches specific hearing and sound pattern criteria.
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 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 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.
