Summary
This study tests whether injecting a small amount of lidocaine (a numbing medicine) around the ear and jaw can reduce tinnitus severity and related disability. Thirty adults with normal hearing and no other ear conditions will receive the injections and be followed for three months. The goal is to see if this neural therapy approach improves symptoms and quality of life.
