Advanced brain training for chronic tinnitus
Part of Brain & nervous system, Ear, nose & throat clinical trials.
This study tests whether a brain training technique called neurofeedback can help people with chronic tinnitus by teaching the brain to respond differently to the ringing sound. It involves regular visits to a clinic in Zurich and is conducted in German.
