Could your hearing aid silence the ringing? new study tests built-in tinnitus relief

NCT ID NCT07711249

First seen Jul 17, 2026 · Last updated Jul 17, 2026

Summary

This study looks at whether a special noise-generator feature built into Sonova hearing aids can make tinnitus less annoying for people with hearing loss. About 170 adults with chronic tinnitus (lasting at least 6 months) who already use these hearing aids will rate their annoyance before and after using the feature. The goal is to see if this sound therapy helps, especially for those with more severe hearing loss.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Sonova hearing aids with built-in tinnitus feature (noise generator)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could confirm that modern hearing aids with sound therapy effectively reduce tinnitus annoyance for more people, including those with severe hearing loss.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study without a control group, so improvements could be due to the hearing aid itself or natural changes over time. Results may not apply to all tinnitus patients.
