First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 07, 2026 · Updated 27 times

Summary

This study looked for a brain-based marker (biomarker) for chronic tinnitus using EEG brain scans. Researchers compared 560 adults with and without tinnitus to see if brain activity patterns could objectively diagnose the condition. The goal is to replace trial-and-error treatments with a personalized, data-driven approach.
