Sound therapy and talk therapy for chronic tinnitus
Part of Brain & nervous system, Ear, nose & throat clinical trials.
This study tests two treatments for chronic tinnitus (constant ringing in the ears): sound therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy (a type of talk therapy). The goal is to see if these approaches can help reduce the annoyance and impact of tinnitus.
