NCT ID NCT06520865

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study looked for a measurable brain signal (biomarker) that could objectively diagnose chronic tinnitus. Researchers used EEG to record brain activity in 560 adults—some with constant tinnitus and some without. The goal is to replace trial-and-error diagnosis with a personalized, data-driven tool that is easy to use in clinics.
