Summary

This completed trial tested a personalized sound therapy for adults with chronic tinnitus, a condition where people hear ringing or buzzing without an external source. 25 participants received either music embedded with tones matched to their tinnitus frequency or low-frequency sounds. The goal was to see if the personalized therapy could reduce tinnitus severity more effectively than the comparison treatment.
