Summary

This study tests a personalized sound therapy for people with chronic tinnitus (ringing in the ears lasting over 6 months). Researchers will use each participant's hearing loss and tinnitus pitch to create custom audio signals. The goal is to see if this acoustic stimulation reduces tinnitus-related distress, anxiety, and sleep problems. 200 adults with chronic tinnitus will take part.
