Could a simple hearing aid quiet the ringing in your ears?
NCT ID NCT07489807
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether mild-gain hearing aids (boosting sound by about 8 decibels) can reduce the distress and loudness of tinnitus in adults with normal hearing. Fifteen participants will try both the active device and a placebo (no amplification) for three weeks each. The goal is to see if even a small amount of amplification can help quiet the ringing.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Hearing aid with mild amplification (8dB gain from 1 Hz to 8 kHz)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a simple, non-drug option to ease tinnitus annoyance for people with normal hearing.
What could go wrong
This is a very small, early study with only 15 people. The benefit may be small or no better than a placebo, and results may not apply to everyone with tinnitus.
